New parts:
Gigabyte X399 AORUS Gaming 7 motherboard
AMD 1950X CPU
Corsair 1000W PSU
Parts I already had:
2 x 16GB 2400 RAM in optimal slots (DDR4_2_2A & DDR4_2_2B)
2 x GTX1070 graphics cards in optimal slots (PCIEX16_1 & PCIEX16_2)
BMD Intensity Pro 4k (in PCIEX4)
Samsung EVO 960 250GB M.2 NVMe SSD in M2P_32G (C: Windows 10 Home)
Samsung MZVPV256 M.2 NVMe SSD in M2Q_32G (D: used for source and output for my test project)
3 x 3TB 7200RPM hard drives (not used in my test project)
2TB 7200 RPM hard drive (not used in my test project)
Test project: 1 clip 2160p25 H.264 70Mb/s 8 bit 4:2:0, 1 minute long with stereo audio.
Render output format: DNxHR HQX 10 bit 1920x1080 25p
Test render 1: Temporal and spacial NR plus a minor colour grade.
Render time: 2:21 (about 11 FPS)
Test render 2: No processing
Render time: 0:11 (136 FPS)
I guess this will do me, but honestly, I was expecting a bit better. On the render with a bit of processing nothing is even close to maxed out. Curiously, the simple render was very fast and did make good use of the hardware.
Maybe I still don't have something configured optimally.
For sure, there is a bottleneck somewhere.
It's not easy to find but with your material you have to get better
I did the same test :
Same TNR and NR setting as Dan and even CPU.
10bit 4: 2: 2 150Mbit UHD h.264 gh5 footage rendered to DNxHR HQX 10 bit UHD.
Your processor does not come into use.
Mine is + 98%, yours stagnates at 15%.
My render is made between 15 and 16 fps.
I tested with a clip on a HDD I specify.
Your Gpus are in the good slots? Bios setting ?, OS in max performance?
It is necessary to monitor CPU, GPU, RAM, HDD with stress tests.
No overheating? Not easy to diagnose.
