How these were measured
- Each scene was uploaded and rendered as a normal job on one NVIDIA RTX 5090 (32 GB), the same path a customer's render takes. Cycles renders with OptiX. Nothing was tuned: samples, resolution, denoising and light paths are the file's own.
- GPU render time is the time the NVIDIA RTX 5090 spent rendering each frame: the time Blender reports it rendering samples, denoising included, read from the render machine's log. It leaves out preparing the scene on the CPU (loading it, building geometry and the BVH, compiling shaders), compositing, and, in an animation, stepping from one frame to the next. Those depend on the scene and on the machine's processor rather than the GPU, and on some scenes take longer than the render itself.
- Charged is what the whole job actually cost in credits, scene preparation included: 1 credit is 20 minutes, billed in 5-minute blocks of 0.25 credits, so any render under five minutes costs 0.25. The dollar figures use our 10-credit pack ($1.00 a credit) and our 200-credit pack ($0.75 a credit).
- We accept files from Blender 4.4 on, so scenes saved in older versions were opened and re-saved in Blender 5.1 first, and production scenes with linked libraries had them made local or packed into the file, with their textures. Those are marked. A scene renders on the Blender version it was saved in.
- Each scene was rendered once. GPU render time varies by a few percent between machines.
