Poor performance out of a kick ass system

[Pepijn Klijs]

Thta’s indeed weird and against expectation.

The only thing I can come up with now is to uninstall the decklink card as that one is known to act ‘funny’ on some mobo’s and in windows.

I also put this in the debug screen:

LsManager.3.NumGPUs = 2

Might help…

Hi Sascha,

Sorry you are having issues with your Windows system. But I feel your pain. I just built a Windows system and expected it to run great. But at first I was having major problems. Got a few fixed, and now I am just having minor problems. Although the performance isn’t as great as I thought it would be. I could try to run a performance test as well if it helps.

I did do a test where I took out my decklink card. My fps went up by 1 or 2, but nothing significant. I’m sure that was just because it wasn’t having to send out a video signal. How do you have the cards in your system? I found that by switching my Quadro 600 and the GeForce 580 the performance went up for some reason (both slots are x16 electrical slots).

I can get realtime playback now, but with only like 1 or 2 streams. Also I can’t get my panel (JL Cooper Eclipse) to be recognized. So yeah it’s still a work in progress.

Wish I could offer more help.. but I guess I feel your pain.

thanks,
Peter

What motherboard are you using? Want to give us more specs on system config, and driver versions?

How did you manage… I’m on REsolve light here, latest beta and I only get Invalid FCP XML file…?

You must import the zip file, not unpack the zip file, then it works. You don’t need to replace any footage, apparently the test works without footage.

Good luck and let us know your result!

I think you might have the GPU throttleded back due to the PCIe lane distribution and how the cards are installed. There are a limited number of lanes available on most MB’s and even though the slot might be X16 electrically it may run at X8 or X4 depending on what other cards are installed and where they are.

Can you post what make and model the board is?

Well, I put both cards into a HP Z800 workstation today..
Exactly the same results.
5 nodes with a Quadro600 as UI and a GTX580 as GPU
3 nodes with a Quadro600 as UI and a Quadro6000 as GPU

I tried all three 16X ports and only had those two cards in.
I am starting to think the Quadro600 as Ui might be the bottleneck.

Can you put the q6000 as the GUI?
