My Render Times

[DaveB]

So I posted my first set of times 2 years ago in the Q&A section (before the forum existed) and with an older, different desktop setup.

2.66 Ghz Dual Core, AMD graphics card, 6 GB RAM, Windows Vista 64-bit.

CPU (actual times)
8x8 - 36:24.62
16x16 - 35:42.98
32x32 - 35:56.36
64x64 - 36:18.00

Now my times have shortened. I currently have:
Intel i5-7600 3.5GHz Quad Core
Same graphics card (saving up!)
Windows 10, 8 GB DDR4 Ram

8x8 - 11:24
16x16 - 11:24
32x32 - 11:30
64x63 - 11:43
128x128 - 12:03
256x256 - 14:09

Quite the improvement!

So, I finally got my new graphics card: GeForce GTX 1060, 6GB!

Previous setup:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 GHz (Dual Core)
AMD Radeon HD 5450, 1 GB DDR3 RAM
Windows Vista (64-bit), 6 GB system RAM

Over the last two years, I’ve been scrimping and saving and finally got the last piece of the puzzle.

My current setup is as follows:
Intel i5-7600 3.5Ghz Quad Core
GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, 6 GB DDR5 Ram
Windows 10, 8 GB DDR4 system RAM

GPU render times:
32x32 - 25:37.52
64x64 - 9:15.56
128x128 - 5:12.90
256x256 - 4:11.56
512x512 - 4:16.76
1024x1024 - 5:00.55

The improvements in results have been worth every penny!
