I put together a new PC with the GTX 680 graphics card. Here are preliminary results using “rendertest-2010” and the render/project properties specified by the render-test author.
120 seconds. VP10.0e
285 seconds VP11 (wo GPU)
40 seconds VP11 (w GPU)
Summary:
Render is ~300% faster using VP11 w GPU compared to VP10 (40 vs. 120)
Render is ~700% faster using VP11 w GPU compared to wo GPU (40 vs. 285)
Render is ~ 240% slower using VP11 wo GPU compared to VP10 (285 vs. 120)
Based on this test, if you are going to use VP11, you should to have a fast graphics card, you are penalized if you don’t. If you don’t have a fast graphics card, it is better to use VP10.
It seems the Sony engineers worked to improve GPU rendering at the expense of slowing CPU rendering.
There may be holes in this test but I think I was careful and the results are accurate, of course YMMV.
My 2 cents,
Rich
