Rendering Benchmarks
Here, we are looking at each CPU’s ability to perform rendering and encoding tasks.
Cinebench R20 Multithread
In a rather interesting turn of events, we can see Intel’s 11900K on our 590i Valkyrie perform very similarly to the older 10900K based test systems. What isn’t strange is that the overclocked results are slightly better than the stock configuration, although the difference is slight.
Cinebench R20 Single Thread
Unsurprisingly, Intel’s improvements to Rocket Lake make a big difference here. Namely, the clock speed increases drastically increases single-threaded performance in some cases like this test. We see stock clocks edge out the overclocked result, but that’s due to us effectively limiting the single-core clock speed in favor of higher all-core speeds.
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
In this test, we see broadly identical performance between our BIOSTAR Z590I VALKYRIE’s stock and overclocked configurations with the stock taking a slight edge in this case.
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.
In this test, we once again see the BIOSTAR Z590I VALKYRIE and 11900K fall behind the older 10900K based systems and AMD’s 5900X’s. This is not the fault of the BIOSTAR Z590I VALKYRIE but rather just how Intel’s 11900K performs in certain tests.
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 our Handbrake encoding test, we see the BIOSTAR Z590I VALKYRIE complete the test in 2.58 minutes at stock speeds and 2.62 minutes when overclocked. Again, this is a significant improvement over the 10900K based test systems but not quite on par with AMD’s Ryzen 9 5900X.
POV-Ray 3.7
In our last test, we see the BIOSTAR Z590I VALKYRIE complete the benchmark in 52.11 seconds at stock speeds and 55.02 seconds when overclocked.
