Then it takes the project average render time per frame and the total number of frames to calculate the time a project would take to render and how much it would cost. A render farm calculator compares the data about your computer (its CPU or GPU processing power) to the nodes on a render farm.
How to calculate the cost of rendering? To get a quick estimate you can use a cost calculator. You decide to choose Low Priority and render on the CPU. Let’s suppose you have 100 frames to render and each frame takes 1h to render on the farm. When you know the price for 1 node hour, you can calculate the cost of a project with ease. You can think of it as a specialized rendering server. 
Node is a computer designed and built for network rendering.
What’s node hour? It represents the price for 1 hour of rendering on a single CPU or GPU node. We take the total OB points used by all GPU nodes rendering a job and then we multiply it by the rate according to the given Priority (example: 2,000 OB x $0.0025 = $5 per hour of rendering on Low Priority on 1 node that has 2,000 OB). 
OctaneBench is the industry standard for measuring a computer’s GPU processing power. It is a price for 1 OB (OctaneBench) used in an hour of rendering.
What’s OB hour? It is the basic unit of cost for GPU rendering. It means, we take the total Ghz used by all nodes rendering a job and then we multiply it by the rate according to the given Priority (example: 55 Ghz x $0.015 = $0.82 per hour of rendering on Low Priority on 1 node that has 55 Ghz). It is a price for 1 Ghz used in an hour of rendering. 
What’s a Ghz hour? It is the basic unit of cost for CPU rendering on the farm. Under the hood of GarageFarm’s cost calculatorīefore we begin, here’s the TLDR if you’re in a rush:. OB hour is to GPU as Ghz hour is to CPU.
