By making it standalone, we don’t need to worry about settings that a DCC application might be using. So we decided to make a standalone, license-free application that uses the same rendering core as our commercial products - that anyone can download and run on their computer. Additionally, some users may not actually own a license of V-Ray yet and might just want to test their hardware before they consider buying one. But these types of tests are not always reliable, as some settings might vary from different users - and some users might change some settings to skew their results. While some benchmark scenes have existed in the past, it required the users to load the scene into their DCC application and render it there. Like we said: The tool came out of a demand from our users to have something that would truly benchmark their V-Ray performance with other hardware. What’s more, unlike some other benchmark tools, like Cinebench, V-Ray Benchmark uses a program that people will actually be using in their work.īut first, let’s go back and take a brief look at the history of the tool and examine just what it has come to mean in the CG industry today. This has made it one of the defacto tools used by the computer graphics and hardware industry to test performance. A lot of hardware manufacturers and hardware reviewers have also used the V-Ray Benchmark application to test the latest and greatest innovations in hardware. Additionally, we have also noticed that it's not just users making use of this software. Since then, we have updated the application to V-Ray 5 Benchmark. And if they didn’t want to post their own results - or maybe didn’t have any hardware to test yet - they could still check out other results online and make informed choices from there. They could then choose to post their results onto our Benchmark page and see how their hardware would compare to others. We put out a standalone application, free of charge, that would allow people to test their hardware for both CPU and GPU rendering. The idea was simple - and a response to one of the top questions that many of our users ask us every day: What hardware should I invest in to get the most out of V-Ray? Back in 2017, we decided to release a tool called V-Ray Benchmark.
