Chaos Group’s V-Ray 5 Benchmark is a free standalone application used to quickly test rendering speeds on any combination of CPUs and GPUs. V-Ray 5 Benchmark launches with three complex test scenes designed to assess V-Ray performance on CPU, GPU CUDA and GPU RTX cards.

Since launching, users and journalists have used V-Ray Benchmark to test new hardware and help assess the rendering performance of new laptops, workstations, graphics cards and other products. V-Ray 5 Benchmark now makes it easier to evaluate the new machines against the most recent version 5 of V-Ray’s widely used, sophisticated rendering software.

CPU Results are now more detailed. New CPU information includes physical count, SMT/Hyper-Threading, overclocking and other values. Further search options allow you to filter the benchmark results by device, number of devices and SMT/Hyper-Threading settings. You can also toggle the V-Ray GPU CUDA results to show GPU-only scores or ones that use hybrid configurations.

Testers have a new RTX Testing Mode to test the render performance of V-Ray GPU on NVIDIA RTX graphics cards. Also, the V-Ray GPU benchmark can now detect if hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling is enabled in Windows 10.

The user interface has been redesigned, making it simpler to use, and users can save scores directly in the Benchmark app, and share images of the results with the built-in screen capture tool.

The free V-Ray 5 Benchmark app is available now.   www.chaosgroup.com
