Assist in reducing render speed with 960M

PostMon Mar 29, 2021 7:55 pm

Hi,
I'm trying to reduce the render speed on videos edited in Resolve Studio 16.2.8.005 (I did try 17 beta, but ran into a media unavailable issue, so on 16 for now). I purchased Studio after being happy with what i could do with the free version, but unfortunately studio did not help with the render times. Right now, my videos even with no edits (importing the video and rendering it with no changes) typically takes three times the length of the video.

Current hardware is a Asus laptop N552VW, I7-6700HQ @ 2.69ghz, 16GB with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M, latest drivers 24.21.13.9924. I have checked off using the GPU selecting the Nvidia, but when rendering I get very little or no CPU usage on that GPU, where the Intel GPU does show around 30% CPU at times. I have also tired optimizing the clip, but after taking the same about of time for that as rendering, and specifying in playback to use optimized media, no better results in the render under delivery.

Note the source video is recorded from the ATEM Mini pro, and I would just like to output in the exact same format especially if that would speed things up somehow. Have not figured out where I can look at clip properties and just match the project properties to it if that would make a difference.

thanks in advance!

To speed up renders, you'll need better hardware.

As soon as the RTX cards are available again, build a new Windows desktop.

You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
