Maxon Gpu Benchmark

[Noah Casanova]

Cinebench2024 utilizes the power of Redshift, Cinema 4D's default rendering engine, to evaluate your computer's CPU and GPU capabilities. Cinebench 2024 is designed to accommodate a broad range of hardware configurations - while it seamlessly supports x86/64 architecture (Intel/AMD) on Windows and macOS, it also extends its reach to Apple Silicon on macOS and Arm64 CPUs on Windows, ensuring compatibility with the latest advancements in hardware technology. Additionally, Cinebench 2024 streamlines the benchmarking process by utilizing a consistent scene file for both CPU and GPU testing. Best of all: It's free!

Anyone who needs to evaluate hardware performance should add Maxon Cinebench to their testing arsenal. Any computer owner can evaluate their individual system, IT administrators can use Cinebench to help make purchase decisions, journalists can use the results in reviewing hardware and manufacturers can utilize the feedback to optimize their latest products. Cinebench offers a real-world benchmark that incorporates a user's common tasks when using Cinema 4D and Redshift to measure a system's performance.

Products included in our Maxon One suite of creative tools are based on the same rendering technology that is used in Cinebench. When creating in Maxon One, you will benefit from the industry leading rendering performance you have known from Cinebench and utilize your hardware's capabilities to the fullest. Maxon One is our all-in-one solution that combines the power of all our industry-leading 3D animation, motion graphics, filmmaking, digital sculpting and rendering software like Cinema 4D, Forger, Red Giant, Redshift, and ZBrush in an integrated package.

Improvements to Cinebench Release 23 reflect the overall advancements to CPU and rendering technology in recent years, providing a more accurate measurement of Cinema 4D's ability to take advantage of multiple CPU cores and modern processor features available to the average user. With R23 has MAXON made some changes. MAXON is responding to current CPU developments, where manufacturers are increasingly granting their processors a higher TDP budget for a limited period in order to achieve better results in short-running benchmarks. In Cinebench R23 you can therefore set whether the test should only run once, as before, or at least 10 minutes in order to both bypass the TDP budget limits and also to record possible throttling, especially in the notebook area. In addition, the benchmark can now be used as a 30 minute stability test. Unlike the R15 , but like the R20 , the R23 is no longer a pure CPU test; the workloads are now too big to fit completely into the CPU caches. Therefore the RAM speed also has a small influence on the result.

The new test is built on later versions of Cinema4D and has dropped the GPU test entirely. Maxon has completely reworked computational load and instructions used in their benchmark, so scores are entirely independent and not comparable to R15.

Because the thread was already made, adding a second sheet and the new download link was easy, and having people submit all their scores to a single thread instead of have to hop around makes more sense.

Most of the features here are nice quality of life additions and maxon really is trying to become the next foundry with an overprices pricing scheme on all their software packages compared to the competition out there.

My issue is the 1 Activation, and uncertain amount of updates for what is essentially full price again. To make it worth our while, we would need at least 3 years of updates at no additional cost. Having to manually activate and deactivate every time I want to use zBrush in my down time on my Surface at my day job just sounds exhausting. And quite frankly a bit petty.

For a hobby user, who is not currently making money using zBrush, the future is definitely uncertain. I would happily pay $100-$200 US per year for updates. More than that, especially the $660 Perpetual upgrade cost is just not in the cards.

A staple tool for graphics hardware reviewers

For over a decade, Cinebench has been a standard tool in benchmarking graphics hardware, both for individual users looking to test their systems, and for studios.

More representative of real-world production assets

Cinebench 2024 also represents a significant increase in the complexity of the benchmark scene, better representing assets currently used in production.

Most interesting from a user's point of view is probably the ranking. The tested component is added to the ranking table which lists processors and video cards that are slower and faster than the ones installed on the machine the test was run on.

Hidden under the File menu is an option to enable the advanced benchmark functionality. It adds another test -- cpu single core -- to Cinebench which you can run as well. It tests just a single core opposed to all cores of the processor.

One of the key benchmarks that have been used in the industry is Cinebench. The latest version has been Cinebench R15, released for version 15 of Cinema 4D. In recent years it has slowly become less relevant, as Maxon has moved through to version 19 and 20 of the software. To match the latest version of the software, the company has now launched the Cinebench R20 benchmark.

The new benchmark implements a number of new features available for x86 processors. This includes newer AVX instructions, implemented through Intel's Embree raytracing technology, applicable on both AMD and Intel processors. The new benchmark focuses purely on CPU performance, and solves one of the issues with the R15 version - it now scales beyond 64 threads better by having a larger scene. There will be a minimum performance limit to run the new benchmark, which is listed as a memory limit.

Maxon, the developer of the award-winning Cinema 4D and numerous professional software solutions for editors, filmmakers, motion designers, visual effects, and 3D artists, is delighted to announce their highly anticipated release of Cinebench 2024.

The new software also unifies the benchmarking scene process, utilizing a consistent scene file for both CPU and GPU testing. This will let users understand the benefits of leveraging the GPU in their system, as opposed to just the CPU in their system. This testing happens by leveraging the Redshift GPU renderer, allowing users to gain insights into the power of harnessing cutting-edge graphics hardware for rendering tasks.

Cinebench 2024 is immediately available for download starting today on the official Maxon website. Creatives, gamers, and technology enthusiasts are invited to explore this groundbreaking benchmarking tool and experience firsthand the leap in performance evaluation that it offers.

Cinebench 2024, now including GPU testing, will allow us to not only include it as part of our GPU test suite (currently, that includes the test suites you see here) but also help us better compare Macs versus Windows systems specifically in the areas of GPU rendering and GPU performance.

Maxon, the leading developer of professional 2D/3D digital content creation and composting solutions, has just released Cinebench Release 23, an update to its industry-standard, cross-platform benchmarking application trusted by developers, analysts and users alike to evaluate hardware performance. Cinebench uses advanced algorithms to visualize and render a three-dimensional scene on a computer.

Maxon's CINEBENCH R15 has been a staple in CPU reviews since its release way back in September of 2013. It has been the go to for CPU vendors to boast big numbers and a good place for end users to measure benefits of overclocking their CPU for a quick result. But in the past few releases of higher and higher core count processors we have seen a growing demand for a more stringent test to put these processors to task. Not to mention that there have been quite the advancements in Maxon's Cinema 4D which the benchmark is based on.

If you do not think the demand was there then you are sorely mistaken. Even end users have taken to task to bring a more demanding version of CINEBENCH R15 to reality by making a releasing CINEBENCH R15 Extreme Edition which can be found on Guru3d, but it is worth noting that it is an unofficial version of the benchmark. This was an attempt to bring the benchmark up to speed, but it didn't introduce any of the more updated rendering techniques and optimizations that have come with the advancements of Cinema 4D which are present in CINEBENCH R20

What is not present in CINEBENCH R20 is a GPU test. In the previous versions of CINEBENCH there has been the ability to test your graphics card's OpenGL performance in Cinema 4D. So if you were hoping for a similar approach here in CINEBENCH R20 you simply are not going to find any love here.

More interesting than the lack of the GPU test is the place you'll find the benchmark. You are not going to find it through Maxon's own website or any other hosting sites for that matter. You will be finding it in the least expected, at least I didn't expect to find it there, place on your PC or Mac. If you are on PC you will be needing Windows 10, I can hear the excitement already, and you will find it in the Windows Store. If you are on Mac head on over to the App Store. Not really sure how I feel about no dedicated download, wait sure I do, I don't like the idea.
