I've got some more benchmarks for you.
I rendered the first frame of the clam.cho, no show video, fixed palette, on a
Pentium 90 with 32M RAM and a Number 9 video card (From now on I'm going to
ignore the video card as a speed factor given the recent discussion.)
Anyway, it took 28 seconds (compared to the PowerMac 8100/100 AV's time of
1:07.)
I then rendered the first frame of Coca-Cola bottle animation I made for the
new Coca-Cola screensavers (available on CompuServe, AOL, eWorld and
UMichigan's ftp site) on both platforms. The bottle has transparency, bump
mapping, a decal and about 8 lights of different types. It has 5 segments.
PowerMac 8100/100 AV's time: 18:39
Pentium 90's time: 0:57. Yes. That's 57 seconds compared to over
18 minutes.
Yikes.
