Whether you’re new to Octane or just starting on the Render Network, this is the easiest way to estimate rendering costs before submitting a job. *** #### Why Use OctaneBench? OctaneBench simulates realistic rendering workloads using official Octane scenes, providing a numeric score that reflects your system’s rendering performance. This score can then be plugged directly into the Render Network Cost Calculator to give you accurate pricing and time estimates. *** #### How to Download OctaneBench 2025 1. Head over the OctaneBench download page [ ](https://otoy.com)[OctaneBench • OTOY](https://render.otoy.com/octanebench/?fbclid=IwY2xjawKiub1leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFBNUM5eG1odGdKN3N5bnpnAR6fIBQWjiImJ4DagNjASQDRsojwp7VN268bC1RHldHHPJFyf5hcSqXU_Q4e-Q_aem_qgKL0cniXHKuL6yscsYpSg) 2. Select the 2025 OctaneBench 3. Download the latest version for your operating system. *** #### How to Run the Benchmark 1. **Unzip** the downloaded folder. There’s no installer - OctaneBench runs out of the box.
2. **Launch** the OctaneBench application.\ (Make sure your GPUs are available and drivers are up to date.)
3. **Select the GPU(s)** you’d like to benchmark.
4. Click "**Run"**.\ OctaneBench will now process a series of official test scenes and measure your GPU performance.
5. **Review** your score.\ Once complete, you’ll receive a numeric score based on your system's performance. *** #### Using Your Score on the Render Network When submitting a job on the[ ](https://render.network)[Render Network](http://render.x.io/), you’ll be prompted to enter a benchmark score. Input your OctaneBench 2025 score in the designated field of the estimate page: * Get accurate time and cost estimates for your render job * Optimize your workflow based on your system’s performance\
--- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://know.rendernetwork.com/getting-started/render-network-tutorials/using-octanebench-2025-to-benchmark-your-gpu-and-estimate-render-costs.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
