Holomark 2 Released!

On your 770 why are your RenderSpeed scores lower than the Render scores? Turning off shadows and advanced lighting should NOT lower the speed. In both Nurbs and Mesh you get half the speed, also in GPU_16 that should be much faster than GPU_15.

@holo i really don’t know, but would like to… what do you suggest ?

I am afraid I have no clue, the odd and individual geforce performance is a mystery to me.

@holo ok, Tnx ! will keep on testing and post the results.

I wished my GTX 780 would show me this results, your GTX 770 is much faster on your system. Gratulation! :slight_smile:

Hi Holo, you are right.
This is test performed with antialiasing off:

Just received some new towers:

The 420 does a good job, but apparently Reduced Mesh has issues with the many cored Xeons.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi there.

Holomark2 (downloaded from original website - http://www.holomark.com/) dont work on WINDOWS 8.1 pro X64.

Any suggestions?

On my previous Windows 7 OS it was perfect… I can not find the reason for this issue.
Thanks

Hi there… Can you explain how do you install HOLOMARK2 Benchmark for Rhino, on Windows 8.1 Pro?

It wont start the test.

It can be your username. If it has a “none english” character then Python bugs down. If so then copy the Holomark files to a location with just english characters and install it manually from there.

User name? from Windows?

English caracters?

It wont star the Test… rhino show-me this:

All is ok

and wont star-…
Should i try to update for the last Rhino 5 version? (what is the last version?) SR9 ?, SR10? or SR11?

I’m guessing it’a the “é” in André as Holo suggested (non-standard ASCII character, I guess). Move the files to another folder (Like C:/Holomark) and run it from there.

HTH, Jakob

I fix it. Thanks… You are right. It was from Windows User Acount Name. (even a_andre wont work)

It seems like these operations are largely single threaded in Rhino. This CPU (Xeon, 2.4GHz) got a worse score than my laptop i7 2.7GHz (Holomark CPU score 13379 vs 14 224).

Just confirms that all that really matters here is the clock speed, not the number of cores.

Can’t figure how to post the result.

I guess I’m the ‘little kid on the block’

Same computer with hyperthreading turned off. Just about everything is slightly quicker with hyperthreading except:
GPU_16 (40 units with HT vs 43 w/o HT)
GPU_21 (8.3fps vs 11fps)
and the big one:
CPU_06 - Reduce mesh (14.96 vs 12.37sec)
