Is this version of POVRay optimised for vampire ?

not that i was aware of... BTW, V1200 isn't far behind,  Gold2.13 RC3 build 7717 x12 85Mhz (vanilla R58 image) turns in 24 minutes and 3 seconds  will see what the V500 can do later tonight if i can

My Vampire 500 got 27 minutes and change.  Gold 2.12 x12 (85MHz).  I was doing some other stuff in the background while it was running, but not much.

Just tested my two Amiga 4000s, so I'll add them to my test list:

Vampire 500 V2+, Core 2.12 x12 85Mhz : 27 minutes.

A4000, CS PPC 68060 @50MHz, GREX 4000: 50 minutes, 1 second.

A4000, CS MK2 68060 @100MHz, Mediator: 46 minutes, 42 seconds.

Note the CS PPC memory is much faster than the CS MK2 memory.

Doing some more comparisons here:

Mac Mini 1.5GHz G4: 4 minutes 13 seconds (impressive!)
X1000 1800MHz Pa Semi, OS4: hangs at line 222....not sure why.

@Darren
NICE! i did wonder about the CS mk2 clocked up to 100, thanks for that info. i guess the 64bit memory interface on the CS PPC really helps out.

I'm guessing you've got a different set of FPU libs running? - as i get 1hr 5 mins with my CS Mk3 060@50Mhz powered A3k with generic libraries

I did a test on my Windows PC, i7 6700k overclocked to 4300mhz with WinUAE 64bit
 
No JIT result: 0 hours 19 minutes  45.0 seconds (1185 seconds)
 
JIT result: 0 hours  1 minutes  9.0 seconds (69 seconds)
 
So a Vampire is more or less like WinUAE with JIT OFF

I'm not sure actually, but I can check for you what I'm running.  the ram speed setting may help - mine is likely set to 60ns in the Cyberstorm setup screen (press ESC when powering on).

Dear Andy, nice to see your first rendering results on an real 68060.
I’m a big 3D and Renderfan myself. Just a tip to get better results with the 68060.
Use at least the Cyberpatcher that comes with the Cyberstorms or better use the
latest Oxyron Patcher (3.14 iirc).

Regards
Kymon

Thanks for the tips guys,
i'll try the ram speed settings - after eyeballing exactly what i've got on my Mk3 - i think i'm keeping it "safe" and sitting with conservative settings to not crash more than i have to, and i'll definitely see what Oxyron can do :)

I'd like to get my BlizzardPPC/040 upgraded to an 060, but with getting a V1200, there seems to be little point in the effort of doing that beyond seeing just how much faster a V1200 is than any top end hardware from "back-in-the-day"... :D

A good old 68060 is still able to give a good punch.

O.O

that's fantastic, i need that in my A4000's life! :D

Well, as impressive these projects for new 060 cards are: full 68060's are hard to come by. The final die-shrink Rev.6 68060's are even more difficult to find. To get hold of one among those to run fully stable at 100 MHz is like chasing a unicorn.

FPGA re-implementations of the 68k series won't have this shortage.

true. i have some 060's in a box that aren't doing anything... one rev6 i can allocate to a card that's going to run it at over the original 50Mhz . otherwise, i'll probably sit the rev5's on my blizzard cards if i ever get them swapped, as i'll never really want to run original hardware overclocked.

but generally yes, FPGA is going to be the way forward...

Don't be pessimistic - there might be some hope!
I just spotted a fresh pile of 68Ks in China:

Yep. This.

Even the non fake higher clocked 030s are getting scarce now.

It seems everyone and his dog are making 680x0 accelerators these days.

Its like someone deciding to make a new graphics card to sell that uses 20 x 3DFX Voodoo 5 GPUs per card.  :/

Hey Henryk, nice to see first results of Matze’s 060TK. Did you run the Test with or without the OxyronPatcher 3.14? If not you may even beat your time dramatically.
  Would love to know :and see ;-)
 
  Thanks and regards

*laughing* yeah yeah ok. i was thinking of having dig in my kids lego draw to make an equally legit '060 and post that on ebay - see what i can get... ;)

Interesting this result is more than 2x faster than my 100MHz 060 on my Cyberstorm MK2.  It must be that povray is very memory intensive, because with the same clock speed the only difference is that the Matze TK060 has much faster memory interface than a CS MK2 with the 100MHz hack (memory running @ 50MHz).  Does the TK060 run it's memory @ 100MHz?
