Graphics Test: Bruce X

[jaymonkey]

@mlross1,

Sub 2 seconds is simply not possible with such an old and low powered Nvidia GPU.
Even the most powerful AMD GPU (Radeon VII) can not do it in less than 6 seconds.

It would suggest that you have background rendering enabled so when you export FCPX is only saving the file not rendering it and then saving.

Go in to FCPX preferences and turn off background rendering as detailed in Step 2 of the instructions in Post #1 :-

Graphics Test: Bruce X

In order to help users who plan on using Final Cut Pro X (FCP) to edit video, this is a benchmark that has been designed to test your GPU and because FCP is Open CL based it should preference AMD cards over Nvidia. So here are the instructions: Step 1 Download the XML file Step 2 Open...

Then retest ... I would expect a GT 640 to take at least 24 seconds if not longer.

Cheers
Jay

Lol I know how to take the test. I can read.

My test wasn’t 2 seconds as you can read in my post. 1=minutes with 25 being seconds. Not by any means speedy (as stated) just showing that this is a metal supported card and actually increased in speed significantly with the new update. Went from 1:49 to 1:25. I did mention the BruceX timeline being exported being 2 seconds long, but clearly stated my times.

thanks,
Micah

result: 8 seconds
8600k(oc to 4.8ghz) +Xfx Radeon 5700
OS version: Catalina 10.15.4,
FCPX version: 10.4.8
Smbios: Imac19,1

I just did a clean install of Catalina on my system (was using Mojave for the last year). Here are my results (which are twice as fast as they were on Mojave).

Result: 8 Seconds
CPU: i7-8700k stock
OS Version: Catalina 10.15.4
FCPX Version: 10.4.8
Smbios: Imac 19.1
Graphics Card: MSI Vega 56 (blower style) + HD 630 (headless)

These are more inline with what I was expecting after moving from an RX 580 to a Vega 56 last year. After the graphics card switch on Mojave I only saw a 2 second speedup. Now on Catalina with the latest FCPX it is more than twice as fast.

Just ran it again in FCPX 10.4.7 on macOS 10.14.6
Ga-z77-ds3h
24GB Corsair Vengance
i5 3570k @4GHz
Sapphire Rx 580 8GB
Sandisk Plus 120GB
2x1TB WD Green drives

To SSD: 11.72s, 11.92s
To HDD: 11.95s

Stopped times when window opened.

Just annihilates my gt 640 2GB, as expected lol

@qbe,

Thanks for posting the news on ChronoX ... should help to make BruceX test results more consistent.

Seems to work well on my White Knight video editing rig ( i7 4790K + Vega 64 LC ... full spec in my signature) which clocks in at 8 seconds for the standard 5K BruceX test exported as Pro Res 422.

Cheers

@qbe, too bad it doesn't want to work.
