The higher the tessellation level, the more GPU processing power is required. Tessellation is the ability of the GPU to divide a polygon into smaller ones (according to the tessellation level factor) in order to increase polygon density: the higher the tessellation level, the higher the polygon density. ( RED bar means FASTEST in Frames Per Second. We ran the test at 640x480 Windowed with anti-aliasing disabled. Fur rendering is especially adapted to overheat the GPU and that's why FurMark is also a perfect stability and stress test tool for the graphics card. This is a very intensive OpenGL benchmark that uses fur rendering algorithms to measure the performance of the graphics card. ( RED graph bar means FASTEST in Thousands of Samples per Second.) We rendered the Sala scene using GPUs only. ( RED graph bar means FASTEST time in SECONDS. The Gaussian Blur effect is GPU intensive.

We imported a two minute 1440x1080 Apple ProRes 422 video clip. WHAT THE 2014 DUAL-CORE MAC MINI DOES BETTER The first effect we rendered, Aged Film, is CPU intensive. ( RED bar indicates the fastest time in SECONDS. We converted a two minute 1440x1080 Apple ProRes 422 video to iPad preset (1280x720 H.264). HandBrake is a tool for converting video from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs. The overall score is an amalgam of Integer, Floating Point, and Memory performance tests. Primate Labs' cross-platform processor benchmark uses a scoring system. The RED bar in the graphs signifies the fastest Mac miniĬinebench R15 - Render 3D Model using all CPU cores. WHAT THE 2012 MAC MINI QUAD-CORE DOES BETTER
