NO - not everything in VW is render time. But look at the 25%± speed boost with half the ram. My opening comments on this forum stand: The M2 Pro Mini is an excellent value for the price.

zoomer Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Pah, 19:04 - on my M1 Pure Mac Mini 16 GB While Browsing Forums, eMailing and such things .... No brownish memory BTW ... I would also like the test the Trash Can, (I would expect much more than 25 minutes) but VW is a proprietary Software and can't be activated on every of my machines. I could even activate my Mac Pro 2.1 8 core cheese grater under the desk .... but doubt VW 2023 SP3 will run on OSX 10.7.5 !? Edited January 30, 2023 by zoomer Quote Link to comment

zoomer Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Well, but only 7:41 min on my Ryzen 3950 16 core PC, the uncrowned 2+year old king of old school CPU Rendering. So it would need at least an M2 Mac Studio Ultra to make me impressed .... (Which is expected to be artificially delayed for a new Mac Pro's presentation sake) And I just did that that PC Render test as our heating is synched with out side temperature only and we had strong winds with more influence on warm loss and I had cold. 2 Quote Link to comment

Christiaan Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 One trend I'm noticing is that the higher spec of any generation can make a very big difference. Quote Link to comment

line-weight Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Are you all reporting the time Vectorworks gives you at the bottom of the screen when it finishes the render? Reason I ask is that I realised the other day that this number usually does not correspond with reality - if I measure with a stopwatch I get a different time from the one VW claims. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Don Seidel Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 I assume VW is gathering all the posted times for their benefit, as well as ours. There is a BUG on the time clock at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes (not always) if you click away to another program or desktop, the stopwatch on screen reports a much longer time than reality...you have o render again to see correct time. 1 Quote Link to comment
Don Seidel Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 It's helpful if people post the COST of their machine as well. As expected, higher end machines yield shorter render times. But valuing the cost to get faster renders is a factor. Anyone want to Bar Chart the results posted? Would be interesting to see the cost vs performance in the same chart. Quote Link to comment

Even if you don't click away, it still gives wrong results (often shorter than the reality). Plus, I find it takes a while to start counting after I press the "update" button. Quote Link to comment

What was your total cost to build? Quote Link to comment
sdfireguy Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Can someone tell me how to run rendering this file? It's not something I've done before. Thanks! VW 2023. This new Ventura 13.2 Mac Mini M2 Pro blows the pants off my 2018 Big Sur Mac Mini (Intel i7. 64 GB, 1 TB, with external AMD Radeon Pro WX7100 card.) 2 Quote Link to comment
