Estimated Render Times for One Frame of Benchmark Scenes

OpenData Score: 184.23

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.

Our Take on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690, while a powerhouse in its time, is now considered outdated for modern Blender workflows due to its limited VRAM and older architecture. However, it might still serve well for basic tasks or as a secondary GPU.

Pros:

  • Dual GPU configuration provides significant compute power for its era
  • High memory bandwidth for efficient data transfer

Cons:

  • Limited 2 GB VRAM restricts its use for modern, complex scenes in Blender
  • Older architecture may not support the latest Blender features and optimizations

The GTX 690 is a relic of its time, offering impressive performance for 2012 standards, but it falls short for current Blender demands. Its limited VRAM and older technology make it less suitable for today's 3D professionals.
