Benchmarking in Zbrush

3.0ghz pentium 4
2gb ram
nvidia quadro fx 3500 (256mb)

Single: 5.190918
Muliti: 4.174072

Single Thread=6.167999
Multi Thread=3.915998

AMD 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
1 Gig RAM
NVidia GeForce 6600

I asume lower values are better in this test?

Yes, the lower the better. But I have no clue what the numbers are refering to. :confused:

Single=6.125
Multi Thread=2.925
Multithreading results in 52.2% speed increase

iMac Core Duo 2.0
Windows XP Pro on Bootcamp 1.2

Z2 and Z3 benchmarked on the same computer. Laptop Pentium M 2GHz (dothan) and 2GB of RAM.

before i post my results… i would just like to note that I built this pc back almost 3 years ago… spending under 1300(canadian)… so I apolagize to those who spent more getting worse results :stuck_out_tongue:

Pentium 4 3.0Ghz Prescott HT (1 core!!! 1!!!)
single Thread 5.661011
multi thread 4.615997

18.4% speed increase with multithreading

Single Thread=4.592999
Multi Thread=1.479
Multithreading resulted in 67.699997% speed increase.

Dual Xeon 5140 (2.33 dual core)
4 gigs ram
Geforce 7900GTX
Raptor 150/10k rpm hd
Win XP Pro 32bit

mine:

Gateway notebook 17in widescreen
nVidia GS 7900 w/256 megs video memory
Centrino 2.16GHz Core2 Duo
4gigs ram

Single Thread = 3.835999

Multi Thread = 2.272995

Multithreading resulted in 40.7% speed increase

Multithreading IS recommended for this system

  1. What is significance of these results???
  2. How to verify that multithreading is configured???

regards,

right above the test button you will see multiDraw and MultiRender
if it is highlighted yellow it is active, it uses multithreading for when you work and render, improving performance

cool…

what mem settings can be adjusted to obtain varying results???

from what im seeing it looks like the more physical ram you got, the happier Zbrush becomes :slight_smile:

first setting to play with is the auto-compact memory, if you have the ram that you know is available, setting this higher, (i suggest not exeeding 70% of your total ram) default is 256

the other setting to improve performance is QtransThreshold, if you have a lot of high res models that lag, just set this lower, its what makes your model step down detail while moving

How many cores does ZBrush 3 take advantage of?

dang, thats pretty good and my computer is OLD! haha

Hi All, It’s been a long time…
Here is a quick link to a [[color=Lime]Youtube video](")that I recorded to test my new Intel Quad Core 2.4.

It's basically the ''<b>demohead.ztl</b>'' with <b><u>6 subdivisions.</u></b> Arround <u><b>3,650,000</b></u></span> polys. [color=Yellow] This Quad core run MUCH more FASTER than my last AMD dualcore. I suggest to every artist to buy one, it's so fast compared to the other cpus. I'm running it on windowsXP 64bits, not sure if this bits increasing help really, will see..... The speed is practically realtime, only when there's wait time the Camstasia clamped them, pretty much real speed.</span> <i>*Just a test, that's ugly, lol *** Click on the img to go to my Youtube Video ***</i> [[img]http://img490.imageshack.us/img490/4996/01io2.jpg[/img]](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geb8EeTmC2g) [[img]http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/8729/02ne2.jpg[/img]](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geb8EeTmC2g)

Hi,

Here is the result on my Toshiba notebook with an Intel Centrino Duo [email protected] with 2 Gb Ram - Vista Ultimate 32bits:

Single Thread=3.816
Multi THread=2.355

Multithreading resulted in 38.2% speed increase

Intel Q6600 2.4GHz
2GB DDR2 800MHz

Single: 3.364990
Multi: 1.438049
57.2% increase

Yay for the new rig!

Wow
Lots of benchmarks with Multithreading below 2. This is great!
Interesting though would be a benchmark of an Apple Mac (pro) running ZB3.1 on XP64 or XP32 via parallel desktop.
Anyone out there with this configuratiuon?

Cheers
