  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

CC 2014 benchmarks so far. Updating as their completed on different systems.

I am running benchmarks for CC 2014 and Red media besides some other more common media types. I will post the info in as I complete them for each system. This is to compare changes to CC and how they perform with different hardware configs. All exports are done via AME linking from Premiere. I also included the previous version of the Clouds results with the 4790K system itself. I can do the same for the other systems when their tested if people are interested in the amount of change for each.

Note - Very significant speed difference if Match Source is selected for H264. The increase in performance for H264 comes from selecting match source only so far. 6 Core results will reflect both.

Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPUs with 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM

and its a beast now!!!!! Very impressed and just got my Macbook Pro 15inch and downloading the CC can't wait to see what the little guy can handle!!!
 
Unfortunately so far the Dual GPU performance was negligible at best and only works during renders/exports. When it does work the load is sporadically shifting from 1 GPU to the other versus consistent load on both. So having the 2nd GPU right now is not really making much difference in Adobe. However the vram usage on both GPU's was significant averaging 1.6GB to 2.6GB per card during export. The primary GPU maxed around 2.8GB of vram used so the caching models are definitely much better.

Thanks for such an informative post. I cant wait to try this out myself. Ended up going with a Titan over a 780 though.

The playback and export performance currently with CC 2014 is now relatively consistent. The CPU threading was across all 16 threads both on playback and export now. The GPU load consistently pushed up to 90 to 98% when the benchmark tests included GPU accelerated plugins and scaling of multiple layers. The overall efficiency is far better which is why I didnt put notes after each test. The 8 Core clocked at both 3.5GHz and 4.5GHz played back 4K, 5K 98 frame (both 24 and 60 frame playback), and even 6K at full resolution playback without dropping frames. The 5K playback was smooth regardless of slow motion or full motion preview setup. The increased bandwidth and speed of the ram is definitely having an impact there. The ram usage was as high as 30GB in Premiere for the testing but AE went well over 46GB on export. GPU ram usage pushed 2.5GB on the 3GB card with 4K+ media in Premiere but normally used around 1GB for 1080. I also included some request DNxHD OP1A exports from 5K media as a comparison of media timeframe to encoding time for off line. I will be testing the 6 Core 5960K after I do some testing with the ram at stock 2133.

The Realtime playback was smooth for both 4K , 5K 98 frame (60frame Playback) at full resolution preview with the 6 Core at 4.5GHz. The 6K looked clean but there was some latency in the transport readout. The CPU load though was close to 100% on the 5K playback which was significantly higher than the 8 Core at 4.5GHz. There was also an anomaly on the DNxHD 440X export that I still cannot account for. It was more than double the 8 Core at 4.5GHz. The DNxHD 36 was exactly in line. Tried clearing cache and re-exporting but it stayed consistent. Will have to test that on the 8 Core at 4.5GHz again to see if that was accurate. The GPU load constantly pushed 80+% on the 5K Preview so this CPU is able to push the 780Ti at this point. I will be running the 5820K benchmarks next.

The CPU threading was ideal across all 28 threads regardless of the render settings. The realtime playback threaded ideally as well. The GPU load even on the Titan Black edition often pushed 90%+ upwards to 98% while the CPU load was only 52%. This means we finally have a single CPU that can push a Titan Black Edition card with Adobe. The Realtime playback at full resolution was clean for 4K, 5K98 Frame (60 frame playback), and 6K. The CPU load during playback averaged 50% to 60% or less with red media. The export times were longer as expected than the higher clock speed 8 Core but the realtime playback was by far the most impressive so far. Benchmarks with 900 series Nvidia cards will be next.

Be interesting to see how a Rocket-X does in these tests...
