What is V-Ray Benchmark
...
V-Ray Benchmark is an application that tests your system resources to measure how well your system renders V-Ray scenes using both the CPU and the GPU(s). Through a standalone executable, users can run V-Ray Benchmark to see how well their system performs rendering sample scenes for a fixed amount of time without having V-Ray installed. There are two ways of benchmarking your machine - using the dedicated GUI application, or alternatively through the command-line interface.

GPU Rendering A hardware device with at least 2048 MB of VRAM is required for benchmarking your GPU. NVIDIA driver version 410.48 or newer is required. GPU devices will not be available for benchmarking unless these requirements are fulfilled. |
Where to Download
...
Click the link below to download V-Ray Benchmark. Once you log in to your account, you can download V-Ray Benchmark for the desired operating system as an executable file that may be placed anywhere on your machine to be run directly. There is no licensing or installation required, but please do read through the license agreement once you launch the application.

The table below contains a list of all available options for using V-Ray Benchmark: Option | Option alias | Function | Examples | --quiet | -q | Implicitly agrees to the EULA and hide installer's output | vray-benchmark-4.10.03-cli.exe --quiet | --dump | -d | Logs debug output | vray-benchmark-4.10.03-cli.exe --quiet --mode both --dump | --list-devices | -l | Lists the available V-Ray GPU devices | vray-benchmark-4.10.03-cli.exe --quiet --list-devices | --with-devices DEVICES | -w DEVICES | Picks V-Ray GPU devices for rendering. DEVICES is a comma-separated list of device numbers | vray-benchmark-4.10.03-cli.exe --quiet --mode vray-gpu --with-devices 0,1 | --mode MODE | -m MODE | Picks a mode for rendering. MODE can be: vray, vray-gpu, both. vray-benchmark-4.10.03-cli.exe --mode both | --output FILE | -o FILE | Outputs the benchmark information to a .json file. vray-benchmark-4.10.03-cli.exe --mode vray --output | --version | -v | Provides information about the current version of V-Ray Benchmark. vray-benchmark-4.10.03-cli.exe --version | --help | -h | Displays a help message with the available comman-line flags. vray-benchmark-4.10.03-cli.exe --help |
To run V-Ray Benchmark through the command-line interface, just pick a rendering mode or run the file (in which case the all mode will automatically be chosen). You will then be prompted to accept the End-User License Agreement, after which the benchmark will begin. Keep in mind that multiple flags can be used simultaneously.

Interpreting the Results
The final score is based on internal statistics of the calculations per minute and is made readable in the form of ksamples for V-Ray and mpaths for V-Ray GPU. The score points are different for the two engines, so that their performance does not compare.
You can start a new test (for example, to select different CUDA devices) by pressing the Start a New Test button on the results screen. You can also see the log file (in a text format) of your test renders by following the View log file link.
Submitting your Results
Once you have run the tests, you can click the Submit Your Score button to send your scores to benchmark.chaosgroup.com for a comparison with other systems. Before submitting your score, you can add a bit more detail about your device setup - anything that could boost your performance in the Tell us more about your gear field.
You will need to sign in with your Chaos Group account to complete the submission process.
Comparing scores
Once you log-in to the page, you will be presented with the following diagrams:
Here you can compare how your hardware performs in comparison to other Benchmark users. The point on the line denotes the position of your score in comparison to all submitted scores so far. The closer to the right end is the score, the higher your result is in the rank.
"x faster/x slower" means your score is x times faster than the lowest score in the rank or x times slower than the highest score.
You can also opt and see details about all the Benchmark results in a list or search results by specific hardware by going to the View All Benchmark Results. You can filter the results by score (points) and switch between V-Ray and V-Ray GPU list of scores.
