Welcome to the Pix4d community benchmark thread for computer hardware. Below is a list of goals that I would like this thread to provide to the Pix4d community.
To provide insight on what hardware you should acquire for your type of processing.
To provide up-to-date benchmarks for complete system builds.
To provide specific projects for the community to download, render and report back the project report with a list of their computer hardware.
// Here is how I see this working.
Download a project file to run on your hardware. (Links Below)
Render the project on your machine. (please render the project with only pix4d running)
Send your notes along with the report that Pix4D produces and your complete hardware list to me at brian@aerialimageryreports.com
// Use this for your hardware list
CPU - Model and Speed and if you are overclocking it
CPU Cooler - Model
GPU - Model
RAM Amount - Total GB
RAM Speed - Brand and speed
Hard Drive or SSD or M.2 - Size and Model
Motherboard Model or Computer Model if not custom built
Operating system and version
If you really want to get fancy you could provide a link to a build on pcpartpicker.com
I would like this so our community could see what the current price of a machine might cost. I could also build these if you are not familiar with pcpartpicker.com
I am sure that we will come up with more ideas and information and I will update this post to reflect that as we move forward.
Please post or email me at brian@aerialimageryreports.com with any ideas or questions.
To Upload a project please zip your project files and include a txt note that describes what kind of project it is.
example: This is a ag project and is 4000 images of a corn field at 75% overlap taken with a sequoia camera.
Upload your zip file to your favorite file sharing service (Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer,…) and send it to the support team through a support request mentioning that it is for the community hardware benchmark.
The support team will share links below for the different projects:
I ran the data from ary sanjaya’s lembongan.zip with my best computer and got 407 seconds per the Quality Report on Pix4D v3.3.29.
CPU - Intel Core i9-7900X @ 4.3GHz
CPU Cooler - Liquid Cooler by Cooler Master
GPU - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition 11GB
RAM Amount - 128GB in (8) 32GB chips
RAM Speed - DDR4 DRAM 3466 (PC4-27700) C16
Hard Drive or SSD or M.2 - Pair of M.2 1TB NVMe PCI-Express 3.0 x4 in RAID 0
Motherboard Model - LGA 2066 Intel X299 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX
Operating system - Windows 10 Home
I can probably get another 3% to 5% out of this computer but for me it isn’t worth reducing the stability of the overclock, which is flawless at these levels by staying below 80 degrees C.
I ran the data for lembongan.zip with my computer at it render in 650 seconds.
CPU - Intel Core i7 6700k @ 4.2GHz
CPU Cooler - H100i v2 Liquid Cooler by Corsair
GPU - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti by ASUS Rog 11GB
RAM Amount - 32GB RAM in 2 chips
RAM Speed - DDR4 3200
Hard Drive or SSD or M.2 - M.2 Samsung 950 Pro 512GB
Motherboard Model - ASUS Z170i Pro Gaming LGA 1151 Mini ITX
Operating system - Windows 10 Pro
I ran the MSP data from Bryan Young’s timber 2 project with my best computer and got a few images not calibrated and various warnings using the default Ag MSP template. The total time in the Quality Report was 825 seconds.
The RGB data was ran on the Ag template and took 2,858 seconds.

Another important item to consider is what other programs are installed on your Pix4D machine…both from a speed and a compatibility standpoint. Here is my info showing the bare minimum:
I emailed in some Quality Reports and hopefully some others here will do the same and post your times with different hardware. I think we all want to see AMD comparisons vs. my Intel machine
very interesting thread. i tried ary sanjaya’s project and the result is 579 s (default as in Cloud processing + producing 3D pdf). here is my pc spec
PC ASUS ROG G20, P4D ver 3.0.17
CPU - Intel Core i7-7700 @ 3.6GHz
CPU Cooler - i do not know
GPU - GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB
RAM Amount - 32 GB in 2 chips
RAM Speed - DDR4 2400 MHz
Hard Drive or SSD : Mix
Motherboard Model - ASUS
Operating system - Windows 10 Home
i think we have a missunderstanding here, the timing given in the project report (although we add them all) doesnt represent the actual time consume from pressing process button to finish all the step
so how i calculate actual timing??
after finishing process, in the project folder you will find project.log file, and if you open it, find
