4k exr playback from NAS – on windows
Hello all,
Helping someone setup a workflow for viewing 4k EXR-files from a File-server on a Windows-machine running DaVinci Resolve. And I need help finding out the hardware requirements for this to work.
I have a test-machine (DELL workstation) with the following specs, and it does NOT work (only getting 10-20fps).
- Win10 64bit
- 128GB RAM
- XEON E5-1680 3.4GHz
- GPU 1080Ti
- 25GBit fiber connection to file server (File Server is a m.2-based NAS, more than fast enough)
- Typical EXR-file: 30-35MB each, so ≈ 780 MB/s @ 24fps.
With the current test-machine it maxes out the CPU giving me only 12-20 fps. GPU is at 0-1%, not doing anything.
What CPU would be needed to let DaVinci Resolve playback these 4k EXR (let’s assume straight RGB-files, and no extra layers/channels). And, am I correct in assuming the CPU is indeed the bottleneck?
Thanks in advance,
/ A
