Hello everybody

I have a idea : create a simple "benchmark-file" for Mandelbulb3D to give a idea of capacities of computer.

To make that, we need a "base of work" with the config of many users.

Example

User 7 : 1450 seconds. -> Config 1 : Simple core - 1go RAM

User 5 : 845 seconds. -> Config 2 : i3 - 2go RAM

User 3 : 725 seconds  -> Config 3: i3 - 4go RAM

User 4 : 647 seconds -> Config 4 : i5 - 4go RAM

User 2 : 585 seconds -> Config 5: I5 - 6Go RAM

User 1 : 495 seconds -> Config 6 : i7 - 6 Go RAM

User 7 : 435 seconds -> Config 7 : Config : i7 - 8Go RAM

User 6 : 395 seconds -> Config 8 : Config : i7 - 12Go RAM

Then, when the render of benchmark-file is done, anybody can know where is his configuration on the table.

Config 1 :	Up to 1250 seconds
Config 2 :	1249 - 800 seconds
Config 3 :	799 - 700 seconds
Config 4 :	699 - 600 seconds
Config 5 :	599 - 500 seconds
Config 6 :	499 - 450 seconds
Config 7 :	449 - 400 seconds
Config 8 :	399 - 0 seconds

then we can made a table to "classify" the pictures by render-time


Then we can classify pictures when the render is done, from A1 for a very quickly render to H9 for very long-time render.

If someone have a i5 with 6go RAM and make the benchmark with 460 seconds, he know that he have a "Config 6".
When he make a new picture, if the render equal to  4 hours 30 minutes, we have a "F5" picture.

Do you think it's a good idea??

Cool. My Phenom X6 is roughly as fast as you can get, then, save for that super-expensive-no-doubt overclocked i7. (Video card works decently with Fragmentarium, too.)
