If you have a strong GPU (or a pair of strong GPUs), you can render Blender projects as fast or faster than a multi-core CPU.

We rendered the Dual BMW Benchmark (CPU version 32x32 Tiles). Radeon HD 7950 = 'mid 2010' Mac Pro 3.33GHz 6-Core Xeon Single Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 GPUĬompute Device set to "None" forces your Mac to render using the CPU(s) only.

With Compute Device set to OpenCL or CUDA, Blender is forced to use one or more GPU for rendering. BLENDER got our attention because, like OctaneRender, it lets you choose the GPU as the Compute Device but, unlike OctaneRender, it 'speaks' both OpenCL and CUDA. We are always looking for new and better benchmarks. Updated March 2nd, 2016 with better sample and 12-core tower Posted February 19th, 2016 by rob-ART morgan, mad scientist
