  Resolve, 2x GPU’s Pro’s and Con’s

  Posted by Kieran Nicholas on January 23, 2019 at 1:19 pm

  Hey

  Ok so I am in the need of some advice. I am currently running one nVidia 1060GTX GPU, which is a 6gb card.. What I am wondering is, is it worth getting a second GPU (as above) to run in the machine. I’m rendering out EXR’s for Turnover at 4+k. The speed isn’t the issue, its more of running other things while this is working away. I also need to render ARRIMXF’s to EXR which I am using the Arri Converter to do, as well as create QT’s and run Avid to update cuts (yes sometimes all at the same time)

  The system is:-
  AMD Ryzen 7 3.6 16 core
  64gb Ram
  nVidia 1060GTX 6gb
  256SSD (Windows)
  4tb Media
  22tb Raid

  After some thoughts as to whether its worth doing or spend the bucks and get a bigger boat?

  Regards
  K

  Resolve is demanding enough that I think you’re better off using a second machine if you need to do background tasks while rendering. Use a network connection to copy files across when necessary.

  Hey

  Not really an option as this is my own kit.. As I said speed isn’t really the issue, its more of the fact I have a lot of other background processes going on.

  Thanks
