Fast computer low fps?

I get under 1fps in resolve with 4k r3d files even with halv res good and no effects applied.

Supermicro 7047A-T workstation inkl:
x9dai mother board
2 x 3.1 GHz 8-core Xeon E5-2687W
8 x 8 GB DDR3 ECC reg 1600 MHz, Samsung
240 GB SSD, Intel 520
EVGA GeForce GTX 680 4 GB, PhysX Cuda
240 GB SSD for os
internal raid with 523mb/s write and 531mb/s read

I must have set some funky settings in resolve. I know I only have one graphic card in it right now. Will add a gtx 690 or something later, but still. Premiere runs super smooth at 1/2.

Your system should be doing way better than that.
You most definatley need a second graphics card. There is a lot in Post Production forum. Read.
Internal Raid not always the best. I only store general quicktimes of Promo's etc. Not media.
8 bay Raid for media.

Hi, did you follow the config guide for the slot positioning of cards? Where is the one GPU located?
Which OS version?

Peter

High Peter,

I think the gtx 680 is in slot 5 of a super micro x9dai motherboard. Should be a 16x slot. Also there is no other ci cards in the worksttation yet. Im running windows 7 64bit professional.

Just did the candle test and I only get realtime with 6 blur nodes. I deleted two from the 8 version.

As i understand it you dont have much use of the gpu in resolve until you adding colorcorrect nodes. It is the cpu that handles the r3d files. But perhaps im wrong. Would be great if some one with realtime could turn off all gpucards and use only one card for both ui and gpu. Best case would be a x9dai user with dual xeon. If you cant turn cards of and pull them out physicaly its a big favor to ask.

Just did a test with the quadro fx 580 as dedicated gui. It did no good. I was better of with the single 680. So Im even more sure now that the problem isnt the lack of gpu power.

Here is a link to a picture of the gtx 680 in slot 5.

Where would you put it? Where do I put the Decklink cards?

Using a single Graphics card read my post here

Try the 680 in slot 3.

Hi Peter,
I did test the 680 in slot 3 but no difference. If i run resolve with no grades with the quadro fx 580 only I get the same fps as with the gtx 680.


This is the cpu load at 7fps in davinci (no grades) with only the quadro fx 580 in.

I se my motherboard is running the memory only att 1333hz instead of 1600hz. Perhaps this is part of the issue. But i think the cpu load should be more even right?

Ok Joel, I think we need to start again as I have lost track of where you are.

Motherboard, super micro x9dai
CPU? one or two, quad or six core
RAM?
Windows, v7 pro with SP1?
hard disk for media.. four? what does the BMD speed test results show?
What is the read speed, the write speed.. the fps for 1920x1080 HD 444?
Do you have a DeckLink? Which one, which slot?

I think you have one GTX680 GPU, with ?? RAM and in slot 5 or 3?
When you play ProRes HQ or DNxHD with no grading, how many nodes with HD timeline and conform and timeline rate set to 24fps.

As I mentioned before, we don't have this motherboard and so are advising best we can.

Hi Peter,

Chassi Supermicro 7047A-T

Windows 7 proffesional with service pack1.

I tried both slot 3 and 5 with the same result. But it is something wrong with that card I found out and have it sent to be replaced. The alexa footage on the bmd site plays realtime. The cpus has 8 cores.
Here is the BMD disk speed test.

I have no decklink in it right now but I have one on order Im wating on. Wich slot should I put it in? Perpaps the 680 in slot 3 and keep the decklinc above it.


I have a question on davinci image scaling filter "Sharpest, smoother, billinear". Is this something that the graphic card will handle or cpu? I just reinstalled the system to verify that my gtx 680 wasnt working proper..started some days back to freak out. But I do some testing on a single quadro fx 580 while waiting on my 680 to be replaced.

After the new installation I get 18fps on halres good debayer with billinear filter on. My cpu load never go beyond 35%. For some reason I get little worse result with the "use optimize display mode during playback"
If I choose the default sharpest I get the 7-8fps with halfres good as before.

Using the billinear feature lets my cpus work more while using the sharpest option they work less..Whats going on, it suppose to be the opposite!

half res premium gives 18fps to with billinear? And the cpu works littel more (up to 60%).


Hopefully a proper working 680 will fix realtime after all. Im so tired of all troubleshoting...

What do you mean by extending the slot. Also could you describe what problems you were getting. Low fps without gradenodes or just poor result in the candle test?

I did run a windows test posted below. I got a Swedish windows version but If your familiar to windows it would be easy to read anyway. I dont know how to read it but it seams like the discs running slow with resolve? or maby I just read it wrong.
