The RANCH is the only renderfarm to publish precise performance benchmarks!
On the RANCH, each Maxwell Render project runs on 512 Intel cores @ 3 GHz for unparalleled performance. No sharing, no uncertainty: you always get the full power of the farm for your project.

Special hardware and software optimizations allow us to merge 256 GB of High Dynamic Range data (MXI files) in only 20/25 minutes: perfect for Multilight projects!

More details on these tests are available in the RANCH Renderfarm User Guide.

For animations, optimal performance will be reached:
- when all the frames have a similar render time.
- when the number of frames is very close to a multiple of 125 (to optimize the number of passes).

 
* Design example
3840 x 2400 resolution, one hour render, Sampling Level = 19.45

  SL reached in one hour Speed difference with the RANCH
Core 2 Extreme QX6850 @ 4 x 3 GHz SL = 7.70 ~ 125 times slower
Apple 8-core MacPro @ 8 x 3 GHz SL = 9.20 ~ 62 times slower
RANCH renderfarm SL = 19.45 1.0
   

* Architectural example
2048 x 1536 resolution, one hour render, Sampling Level = 19.88
