Spec score 8.2 #20 of 73 in PC Benchmark Software

What it is

OctaneBench is a GPU rendering benchmark that measures performance using OctaneRender. It runs on Windows, Linux and macOS, and can run without an OctaneRender Standalone license. The page lists version 2025.2 as the newest release. You can download it as one package or get resource files for use with OctaneRender Standalone, then select which GPUs to include. The benchmark compares results using the same version, scenes and settings. Its scores measure speed against a GTX 980 reference, with kernel scores weighted by approximate usage; multi-GPU runs count each GPU, not each video card. Results can be uploaded or saved as text or CSV files. Uploaded results may take 5–10 minutes to appear. OTOY says community submissions contributed to a database for evaluating GPU options. The page also lists version 2025.2.1 scene files for expert users. Hardware and software requirements match those of OctaneRender Standalone.
