This is with an earlier version (1.011) of the test, apparently works better for AMD?

tested with several runs. People who need GPU Geometry 1 (whatever that is exactly) should definitely use PC...

CPU is quite a bit lower though, about 30%

Feels weird, Max on PC, after so many years on Mac.

Could the original posters of this thread please supply an explanation of the effects of comparative numbers for CPU, GPU Geometry, GPU Geometry 2 and GPU Pixel Shaders on our use of Max and the state of our computers? Thanks.

I've asked others here and people don't really know. Today C74 Support suggested I ask directly on this thread. So here it is. I'm not asking for a definition of the terms Central Processing Unit, Graphics Processing Unit, etc - I'm asking for an explanation of what the numbers supplied here mean to us as Max users and what effect they have on the platforms and software versions we use. This is the kind of knowledge we need to make better use of Max and what we see posted here.

v3 should allow users to display the values with a multislider, so that they can post pictures to the forums.

Hey all! I made an attempt to improve the benchmark patch a little. Curious what you think.
Updates:

  • Choose a resolution. In the previous version the resolution was 720p for all, this is still the default so the numbers stay comparable, but you can choose 1080p or 4k if you like to see what your machine can handle, resolution is added to the result log.

  • Removed [qmetro 2]. Now every rendered frame will trigger the next render, with a [deferlow] in the feedback loop, allowing it to go as fast as possible.

  • All gl-objects from unused scenes are now disabled, to make sure nothing is interfering while rendering one scene.

Funny how a desktop 6600XT from 2021 is not much better than a laptop GTX 1060 from 2016 (it is, however, better in other non-Max related scenarios), and funny how that 6600XT perfmors poorly at 720p on pixel shader, and 4 times better at 1080p.
