Updated Newblue fx taking 4x longer to render

[Edward Troxel]

What’s the timing difference with GPU Acceleration turned on vs turned off?

What video card/driver version?

Thanks for responding Ed,

I have only run in CPU mode. My system has 12 real cores (+12 hyper-threaded.) Early tests indicated that GPU mode was a hindrance. I have re-enabled it to re-visit that question.

My NVIDIA driver version is 301.42.

If you have the 3.0 version of the NewBlue plugin installed, I was referring to having GPU both turned on and off there.

That driver is sufficiently up to date.

I’m not sure I follow you Ed. I have reverted to Video Essentials 1.4, because I have to get work done.

Where in the plugin do you change the GPU setting?

Version 1.4 does not have GPU Acceleration. I did not realize you had gone back to the previous version. That option would only be in version 3.0.

Ed,

I’m in a real situation here. After backing out of the NB upgrade my render times are still 4x longer. I have started a support ticket with NB but it’s not getting a lot of traction.

I have gone to batch rendering the noise reduction part over the weekend for the shows I edit the following week. Fortunately it’s not time sensitive content.

I wish I could get my old system back.

Put another note on the ticket at NewBlue.
