How to get a render farm cost estimate for render project
Cost Estimator Formula
CPU Regions=(unit price x cores x performance parameter)x(1+ RAM )x render hour + software cost
GPU Regions=(dual cards unit price/2 x cards x performance parameter)x(1+RAM )x render hour + software cost
Description:
- Unit price: the clients' current price status
- Core: the nodes' cores distributed during rendering
- Performance parameter: Node performance coefficient
- The default RAM cost is based on 64GB RAM, 128GB RAM, and 256GB RAM are optional with extra cost.
- 128GB :CPU 20%;GPU 20%
- 256GB :CPU 40%;GPU 40%
- Render hour: the render time to finish one frame with one node
- Software cost: the default value is 0

II. Node Configuration
For CPU Regions
Region | Physical Core | Performance parameter |
CPU Region 2 | 16 | 1 |
CPU Region 6 | 16 | 1 |
CPU Region 8 | 28 | 1 |
CPU Region 9 | 36 | 1.2 |
CPU Region 9 | 28 | 0.85 |
CPU Region 10 | 24 | 1 |
CPU Region 11 | 16 | 1 |
For GPU Regions
Region | Performance parameter |
GPU Region 1 | 1 |
GPU Region 1 | 1.35 |
GPU Region 11 | 2 |
GPU Region 12 | 0.8 |
III. Notes:
- The default value of nodes' performance parameters in CPU Regions is 1.
- The value of the nodes' performance parameters in GPU Regions depends on the specific machine model selected by the customer when submitting the job.
- when you choose Default, the job will randomly allocate nodes for rendering, and the deduction will be based on the actual configuration.
- If the memory is changed from 64GB RAM to 128GB/256GB RAM while rendering, the unstarted frames will be charged according to the price of 128GB/256GB nodes.
- While rendering, only the memory configuration can be upgraded, and cannot be downgraded after the upgrade.
- After we use the new cost estimator, users who have not updated the Client can only select the Default nodes type to calculate the fee deduction by default.
- There are tasks using Redshift 2.5.X and the Fstorm plug-ins can only choose 1080Ti or Default nodes configuration.
