    John, how long ago was that? For the last several years at least, Dell has been using industry standard connectors (for the most part). This article is a bit old, but I’m pretty sure it applies:

    https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-specifications-atx-reference,3061-10.html

    Although there are plenty of valid things to hate about Dell – I’m not really an apologist for them – I’ve bought 100% Dell for home use since 1998, and I have never had any components fail outside of the warranty period (3 years). Perhaps they use better components in the high-end workstations?

    Anyway, right now I’m looking into adding a second Xeon. I can get the procs pretty cheap. It would give me 8 render threads instead of 4, and might tide me over until Vegas/nVidia gets the Kepler thing right.

    Finally – I can’t resist, sorry in advance – good luck finding a non-Apple power supply replacement for your Mac Pro 😉 just kidding

    [Dave Haynie] “And a [pro|con]-sumer model, the FDR-AX100, also recording in AVC (also pretty interesting because it’s a consumer-ish camcorder sporting a single 1″ sensor”

    Wow, I have not been keeping up with cameras since I blew my budget last year on the Panny GH3 + 2 lenses… now I’m wondering if I should have waited. But I needed a DSLR and I like the Micro Four Thirds format – not stuck with such extreme bokeh as I would be with full-frame.

    The FDR-AX100 has some cool features like focus magnifier.

    Oh Well … there’s always something better than what I have now.

    Dave, I would appreciate your comments on the benchmark’s I ran yesterday on Ozzie’s computer – posted in the other thread on SVP12 slower than SVP11

    [Thayalan Paramasawam] “which is best card for SVP 12.”

    Heh – Well, that is the big question and there is no simple answer.

    The threads below (and many, many others on CCow) also discusses it. Have a look at my last post – apparently the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti is not the one to get … at east for render speed, pretty good for preview.

    Thanks for the CPU Benchmark link, John …

    My CPU bites.

    The Dell T7500 case is very nice, easy to work on, lots of fans, beefy power supply. I wonder if I can fit a better mombo in there.

    My only other option would be to install a second Xeon E5620 …

    argh.

    January 21, 2014 at 6:01 am in reply to: Fast subtitle workflow in Sony Vegas?

    I’m sure there are better ways of doing it, but I save some “generic” text events, complete with transitions, pan-crop, effects etc., in a junk project.

    I then open up that project, and the project I am working on, it two instances.

    I can then copy entire tracks from the junk project into the one I am working on.

    Then, in the production project, I make heavy use of copy/paste for the media generator events when a need a new one. That way all I have to do is type in new text and possibly re-position.

    Would welcome ideas on this myself … I think VAAST has these features.

    January 21, 2014 at 3:48 am in reply to: SVP12.770 MainConcept AVC render CPU-only vs GPU accelerated yields different size files

    [Norman Black] “The Mainconcept CUDA encoder is a completely different encoder than the CPU only encoder. It is not the same encoder with GPU acceleration. Contrast this with Sony AVC, which is mostly the same encoder with some functions done on GPU.”

    Ahh … very interesting.

    I guess it makes sense, because an encoder is in essence just a bunch of code, and the CUDA API is way complicated.

    January 21, 2014 at 3:45 am in reply to: Vegas Pro 12 slower than Vegas Pro 11 using Sony Vegas benchmark project

    Hi;

    Just got back from Ozzie’s house.

    Here’s the summary: using SVP12.770 on his AMD FX-8350 8-core 4113.7 MHz system on a SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 mombo with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti Revision A2 GK104 Kepler GPU, render times are nearly identical with CPU-only, OpenCL or CUDA. I did not get screen grabs of the CPU and GPU graphs, but the only codec that pushed the GPU at all was Sony AVC, and even then it barely pushed 30%.

    Preview performance of the Red Car project was great – consistent 29.97 through about 99% of the project, with preview set to Best, Full.

    Render times for the “red car” project:

    MainConcept AVC CUDA = 2:56 , OpenCL = 2:57 , CPU-only 2:56
    Sony AVC 2:46 regardless of CPU/GPU selection, which was strange because when the GPU was selected the GPU graphs went higher than other tests, and the CPU graphs dropped.

    His CPU-Z report is at the bottom of this post – would have loved to include it as a link, but Cow does not support .txt.

    The GeForce GTX 660 Ti is in the CUDA 3.0 group. No matter how much I search, I can’t find any definitive statement from Sony about CUDU 3.0 support, regardless of the NVIDIA driver version.

    Our results seem to show that there is NO support in build 770 for CUDA 3.0 cards. But, because his CPU-only times are still about 15% faster than my GPU accelerated times, if he did get a card that supported GPU acceleration, his system would probably fly.

    Comments welcome, because I am still agonizing over what card to get for my system – should I stick with a fast Fermi, go AMD, or get Kepler in anticipation of future support?

    arrrgh.
