What is the difference between cycles and Eevee?
Here Eevee is 11 times faster than Cycles when running on the same machine. As the scene gets more complex, Eevee starts showing its potential and the speed difference increases. Again, when moving the Cycles render to our regular GPU machines, the difference drops to Eevee being only 2.4x faster for the same image.
