  • Profile Parameters

    ParameterPurposeDefault Value
    GpuModelRequired. Specify which GPU driver should be installed. Currently supports [AMD v620, AMD mi25]None
    BlenderVersionOptional. Specify which version of the blender engine the blender benchmark should use. Currently supported versions: [3.6.0, 3.5.0, 3.4.0, 3.3.0, 3.2.1]3.6.0

  • Profile Runtimes

    • Blenderbenchmark takes about one minute to run each scene.
    • The exact numbers may vary depending on the system and the internet performance.

  • Usage Examples
    The following section provides a few basic examples of how to use the workload profile.

    # Execute the workload profile
    VirtualClient.exe --profile=PERF-BLENDER-AMD.json --system=Demo --packageStore="{BlobConnectionString|SAS Uri}" --parameters="GpuModel=v620"

    # Override the profile default parameters to run different blender version
    VirtualClient.exe --profile=PERF-BLENDER-AMD.json --system=Demo --packageStore="{BlobConnectionString|SAS Uri}" --parameters="GpuModel=v620,,,BlenderVersion=3.5.0"
