Thx! The lines are just simple straight lines to the top card of each architecture.
In my reasoning, if the dots sit from an uarch on the top cards line that means great scaling - adding more CUDA cores / freq is not wasted on the top GPU.
Moreover, I wanted to highlight that even the same render engine can produce very different results depending on the scene. My next aim is to introduce more scenes for V-Ray, Redshift etc.
Additionally, some of the benchmarks scenes are a bit old or don't represent "real-world" problem complexity. Except for the last Blender scene which is from an actual production (and the scaling is quite good).

- Latest CUDA on Ubuntu is only supported on 17.10, 16.04. Went for 16.04 as it is an LTS release, and of course everything was patched up with the latest updates.
- Tested on Win10 as well, you can check out the results, very same performance in OpenCL based renderers. Win10 can be slower with CUDA sometimes (depending on sw / scene).
- On the OpenCL thing - these are GPU render engines, some of it is exclusive to NV and uses CUDA; Indigo and LuxMark is OpenCL based.
- pseudo-scientific "normalized" numbers - what? In the "test methodology" section everything is elaborated, some render engines provide render times, some MSample / sec. Normalization is just taking the top performer = 100%.
- R5 1600 - next thing for the channel is to get a HEDT platform. These are GPU render engines, if everything is fine the R5 1600 should get the job done. As I mentioned will test with HEDT platform and compare results.
- I compared our results with Phoronix and PugetSystems and everything agreed - they used top-of-the-line CPUs.
I'm always open for constructive suggestions on what I have got wrong or how to present data. Although I'm a bit baffled by the outright negativity. To measure, process and create these kind of data takes a lot of time and effort, and I do my best to be as transparent as possible about system details and how do I collect the scores.
I'm sorry for derailing the thread. If you want to contact me about my wrongdoing on the benchmark I guess you can find my email on the site or just create another topic. No more comments from me on the issue as this is off-topic. Sorry again!
