Dave, I really think you are right. I had some good times(I think), but I would hate to stand up in front of everyone and proclaim that I had the "x" fastest time. There's no way to know for sure, just too many questions about the data. I would suggest that the resolution be 1280×1024, this would make the times longer and any 1 second difference would be a smaller percent increase/decrease in time. If one time was 20sec and another was 21sec(which is possible with a P133 & no mapping), then the 20sec system would be 5% faster. Even 1 second out of 60 is 1.6% faster, it seems to me we would need a minimum render time of 2 minutes for a P133. We have to consider that the P6 is coming and then and then…. For these times to be useful in the future we need some longer times now. I would like to see times with and without mapping. It depends on what you want from the numbers, CPU test or system test. I think both would be nice. Regards………….Rick – Technical Animations
