Estimated Render Times for One Frame of Benchmark Scenes

OpenData Score: 605.46

Our estimated render times for one frame of benchmark scenes

Benchmark scores on this page are derived from Blender Open Data snapshot medians for classroom, junkshop, and monster. The one-frame render time chart is our derived estimate based on those medians and the legacy page formula, so it should be treated as an estimate rather than an official Blender timing.
