Benchwell.com is a place for users of Next Limit Technologies' Maxwell Render™ to compare hardware performance and give buyers an idea on what to invest in.

Due to the near linear scaling of Maxwell Render, the benchmark gives an excellent overview of the raw power of current processor generations and their suitability for CGI related work.

This website is a personal project, but in frequent exchange with the Maxwell Render community and Next Limit Technologies.
