Benchmarking a GPUs

[Wishgranter]

Hello Agisoft team, could you explain to us, how test GPU performance, what to set that we get most precise test data ? A lot of us want/can invest in more than one GPU, but we don?t know to test it. This will help all in the comunity here...... We need to test the Dual GPUs, from AMD and NVIDIA.....

[Wishgranter]

The 32 GB RAM modules going from 2000-3000 EUR range to 900 EUR price now, and have read some info it should go lower on next 12 months, afther procuction lines go on full power ( 300-500 range ) ......

[Wishgranter]

Everyone who have the Nvidia 500 and 600 series and the AMD 6900 and 7900+7800 GPUs, send me email with your results. Download the http://downloads.agisoft.ru/photoscan/sample01.zip and test on ULTRA setings on first 10 images for now......
. with proper CPU assigned to GPUs. send info on RAM and CPU info too....

Send it to muzeumhb@gmail.com will create table with results.....

Hoping that Agisoft team give us soon proprer info how to benchmark.....

Hello Wishgranter,

Once the community will be running the same datasets in the same settings (Quality, object/geometry type, face count = 0 for arbitrary reconstructions), we recommend for GPU benchmarking turn out all CPU cores. And if CPU is also tested, then to turn off all OpenCL devices.

Also we recommend to make tests on the version 0.9.0 and save log files.

Hello all here.....

Here is link to sample images taken from the agisoft test scene01, there is PSZ file, and every 2nd image disabled, that mean from 32 images are 16 used. Thre you can find 2 EXCEL files where you can put data from "benchmark".

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15047343/Benchmark-sample01.zip

Run the benchmark on ARBITRARY - SMOOTH - ULTRA - Face Count 0 - Filter treshold 0,5 - Hole treshold 0,1 

afther that = Go to menu VIEW - CONSOLE search for end of the console for something like this

and copy performance data to the provided EXCEL file and send to muzeumhb@gmail.com

OK first benchmarks are here, feel free to send it, will create a excell table with results and share with you.....


And  most importaint, for us are the:
NVIDIA 580+590 and 680+690
ATI series 6xxxx and 7xxxx

that we can compare what is faster......

[FoodMan]

btw, here is my complete log.. no excel

http://www.divshare.com/download/19694461-563

[Wishgranter]

FoodMan, you have physical 4x 690 GPUs in that PC ?

[Matt]

690 is a dual GPU card. So he has 2 of them.

[FoodMan]

yes two of them..

f/

[Wishgranter]

OK, then is it OK, becasue other one that send me results have not DISABLED a SLI in drivers, so jut one GPU uis working, so it  seems that is working in your PC..... ( or using VGA terminators there ?? )

Therefore everyone, DISABLE the SLI technology in drivers fthat you can use both GPUs.....

[Matt]

From memory I just disabled the multi GPU function in the nvidia control panel 

[Wishgranter]

Hello anyone with a ATI 7970 Card here or similar from ATI

[Wishgranter]

Hello, it seems that wil have a overclocked dual XEON and 4x 7990 card = 8 x 7970 AMDs for tests.....
