There ya go 
Is that good or bad lol?
(apologies for the crappy screenshot, no clue how to make a screenshot on windows using an apple keyboard 
)
These are the results from my MBP:
So, almost doubleā¦

Thatās a respectable score for sure. Thank you for sharing.

well, I had the same issue not long ago, turns out that there is now a screenshot app in windows.
works the same as appleās one.
Iāll always remember the specific key on older keyboards

It might triple if you turn of profilesā¦

I am sure it would but this score shows the default scene setting so itās fine the way it is.
Iāve been using Lightshot for years and see no reason to switch 
I like Greenshot.
Thanks for those screenshot tips! Still tapping the wrong keys as Iām so used to osx. Itāll take some time to get used to ctrl as opposed to cmd
@MikeWayzovski what do you mean? Maybe itās something I can do down the road when I get used to this speediness and crave more lol.

Of course, if we want to compare scores, the test must be run from the example file āas isāā¦

I agree 
even though, this test yields weird results.
I mean, this is a simple mac mini m1, spring 2021, 8 cores, 16Gb Ram, running monterey.
(and iām doing the test while watching the office on netflix, so, multitasking)
Funny enough, WITH profiles, I get about 60 fps (did 8-9 tests). WITHOUT profiles, I got 57 fps (again, a handful of tries)
Ah ye! I forgot about that, thanks!
Hm. not a whole lot of difference?
Normally it would be the other way round. Without profiles should be fasterā¦
yeah, I was really puzzled.
I get a consistant 59-60 fps with profiles, and without it actually varies, 57-60.
something to do with M1 architecture perhaps ? integrated memory or some optimization somewhere?
I also checked with an older file, lots of lines, lots of profiles, a building with a lot of context (stylised trees). if I zoom in on the project, same result. if I zoom out and see the whole area (including the 500+ trees), I get a consistant 60 without profiles, but drop to 20 with profiles.
I guess the M1 optimisation makes profiles more efficient on smaller scales ? with higher number of lines in the viewport you get a higher difference ? on my PC it goes from 35 to 45fps, so a noticeable jump. more than 57-60 anyway.
But as stated in the original thread, this file isnāt a foolproof benchmark, just a point of comparaison. Even more now with apple silliconās optimisation.
Iām a Mac user but also have a windows pc that was recently upgraded a lot, almost all the hardware is new only the ssd and the case I didnāt upgrade, i got an intel i7 13700k 64gb 5600 ddr5 ram and an RTX 4070ti, I love MacOS and my laptop, the M1 max MacBook Pro, but when it comes to rendering it lacks of power compared to a windows desktop, and iv been doing a lot of rendering so I needed to upgrade the components, at the beginning I thought just on updating the GPU I had a GTX 1080, but with mi old 8th gen i5 it could generate an bottleneck, so decided to upgrade the cpu, which means that I had also to get a new motherboard, I had 16gb ram but it wasnāt enough and I was running out of ram frequently, hope this rig last at least 5 years, right now everything runs smoothly, but with windows viruses Iāve had bad experiences, thatās why my main machine is still the Mac and the pc is just for rendering and gaming a couple of times in the year.

Yes, I am experiencing a big increase in productivity on this PC. I was working on a model on my MBP which took me ages (mostly due to frequent crashes). I redid the entire model from start on the pc and I got more done in the first 3 hours than I had in 3 days on my mac. Iām chuffed.
Iāll still keep my mac for other tasks, like 2D design and PSD.
