Render codecs & CPU & GPU usage

PostSun Jul 21, 2019 1:43 am

Interesting, I found very different use of CPU resources when rendering cache or optimised media in the codecs provided by Resolve studio 16b6. 2 x Xeon 12 core 3.0Ghz E5-2687W v4; EVGA RTX 2080Ti Black.

Win performance monitor shows:

Cineform: only 12 of the 24 CPU cores working hard; GPU 3D around 30%
Uncompressed: as above.
DNxHR HQ: all 24 cores working at max, GPU 3D around 40%

Consequently it takes around half the time to render - I know what codec I'll be using (!), still, it seems a bit odd.

(Deliver uses all cores & around 40% GPU. Memory is nowhere near saturated with 64GB ram).
MacPro 7,1 16 core, 192GB, MacOS 14.4.1, Vega II Duo. Antelope Pure 2 & Orion 32+, UA Apollo x8. RAID-4 Thunderbay 6, RAID-0 Sonnet M.2 4x4. MiniMon 4k, Dell U3415W & BenQ SW2700PT. Nuendo, Wavelab, Resolve Studio 18.6.6.
