Rendering Benchmarks
Here, we are looking at each CPU’s ability to perform rendering and encoding tasks.
Cinebench R20 Multithread
Once more, PBO does a lot for the 5900X in this case achieving a score of 8671. At stock speeds, the X570 PG Velocita achieved a result of 8240 and the ASUS TUF gaming, 8191.
Cinebench R20 Single Thread
The Zen 3 based Ryzen 9 5900X achieves a result of 636 stock and 637 under PBO. Again, there isn’t much improvement using PBO, and in this case, that’s not totally surprising.
Blender Open Data Benchmark
This is the Blender Open Beta Benchmark version 2.04. This Blender Benchmark allows you to download multiple demos for rendering and render up to six of them in sequence. This can take an extremely long time to run all of them. You also have the option of testing different versions of Blender from the same launcher. We chose two of the tests out of the six, which seemed to have a longer run time than the others.
Blender pavilion_barcelona
Once again, the raw power of the Ryzen 5000 series comes out achieving far better results than our comparison systems.
Blender Victor
Once more, we see a slight improvement with PBO over stock performance values. The ASRock and ASUS boards also achieve very similar results as we’ve seen throughout all the tests so far.
V-Ray Benchmark
V-Ray 4.10.07 was used for this test.
Again we see a slight increase from PBO over stock speeds, but nothing to write home about. We also see very close results between the ASRock and ASUS boards, but again the ASRock does slightly better.
Handbrake
This is an encoding using the 1080P fast 30 preset. The only changes made to the application were the disabling of GPU acceleration. The video was a 4K video at 4 minutes and 42 seconds in length.
In this test, we saw results of 2.27 minutes at stock speeds and 2.33 minutes using PBO. The ASUS TUF X570 Gaming Plus achieved a result of 2.31, which was in between our two ASRock X570 PG Velocita test results.
POV-Ray 3.7
In the POV-Ray test, we see the ASUS TUF X570 Gaming Plus falls right in between our PBO and stock results using the ASRock X570 PG Velocita. The PBO result being the slowest of the three, but not by much.
