Rendering quality was set to Ray Trace, medium anti-aliasing, shadows on, patch detail low. I leave the output movie file at the default settings. Infini-D was allocated 40MB of RAM for the tests. Shorter bars indicate faster performance. Bryce 2 was left at the default memory allocation of 16980k, antialiasing was on, screen resolution was set to 1024x768, thousands colors.
Shorter bars indicate faster performance.
Shorter bars indicate faster performance. Final movie size is appx. Shorter bars indicate faster performance. Since the filters that took longest to run don't benefit from Altivec currently, the total test time for this 21 filter test is similar to a G3 of the same clock speed. With larger image sizes than the 10MB test file, or if the 21 filter tests used primarily Altivec enhanced ones of course the G4 would show a much larger benefit.
