A Guide to Using OctaneBench 2025
OctaneBench 2025 is now available - providing a fast, free, and reliable way to benchmark your system’s GPU performance using real-world OctaneRender scenes. 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.
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.
