V-Ray Next

Chaos Group's V-RAY is a commercial plugin used across various 3D Modeling suites from Maya to Cinema 4D allowing for path tracing, photon mapping, irradiance maps, and directly computed global illumination. The plugin is used for video game creation all the way to film and industrial design.

Thankfully they have their own benchmark utility, so you don't have to go into 10+ different suites to find out how well CPUs or graphics cards perform. We used just the GPU portion for our results and according to Chaos Group, there should be a linear performance improvement based on the power and scaling of the GPU.

OctaneRender

OctaneRender is touted as the world's first and fastest unbiased spectrally correct GPU render engine and is RTX accelerated to bring 2-5x faster render speeds to NVIDIA's raytracing GPU. So we put the OctaneBench to test here with and without RTX Acceleration and then followed up with an actual workload (provided by NVIDIA) to test out how everything responds outside of the benchmark and in a heavily loaded scene.
