LuxMark v4.0 Benchmarks
LuxMark is a cross-platform, OpenCL-accelerated 3D rendering benchmark. It's a tool based on the open source LuxRender physically-based spectral rendering engine, which accurately models the transportation of light and supports high dynamic range. LuxRender features a number of material types to allow rendering of photo-realistic and artistic scenes. LuxRender is free software licensed under the GPL that offers plugins for packages like Blender, Maya, Cinema 4D and 3DS Max.
In our first compute benchmark, the XFX And PowerColor Radeon RX 7600 XT squeak by the original Radeon RX 7600, but trail the GeForce RTX 4060 and higher-end cards significantly.
IndigoBench Rendering Benchmarks
IndigoBench is based on Indigo 4's advanced rendering engine and offers both CPU and GPU rendering modes for its two built-in models. The standalone benchmark is available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux and outputs results in M/Samples per second.
The Indigobench rendering workloads tell essentially the same story as Luxmark. The new XFX And PowerColor Radeon RX 7600 XT cards are ever so slightly faster than the base Radeon RX 7600, but their extra video memory doesn't move the needled much.
Blackmagic RAW Speed Test Results
The Blackmagic RAW Speed Test is a CPU and GPU benchmarking tool that tests the speed of decoding full-resolution Blackmagic RAW frames. The tool can be used to evaluate the performance at various resolutions and bitrates on the CPU or using OpenCL or CUDA on a GPU. We're reporting two results here, both at an 8K resolution, but at differing bitrates and compression levels.
We saw more of the same with the Blackmagic Speed Test. The XFX And PowerColor Radeon RX 7600 XT cards edge past the 8GB Radeon RX 7600, but we're talking about marginal deltas here, and stepping up a higher-end card results in a significant performance boost.
Note, we would normally also include Blender benchmarks here, but it would not run with the press driver provided for the Radeon RX 7600 XT (the press driver gives the card a generic ID, to mitigate potential leaks). When a public driver is released, we'll give Blender another shot and update this page as necessary.
