DaVinci Resolve and Nvidia at Computex

Some info on what GPU can improve in Resolve 18. This is obviously Nvidia PR so take it with that in mind.

'Speed Up Your DaVinci Resolve 18 Workflow: 3 New AI Tools'

Quote: 'This week In The NVIDIA Studio we take a deeper look at three new features that help streamline video editing with RTX GPUs in Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve 18.

Automatic Depth Map uses AI to instantly generate a 3D depth matte of a scene to quickly grade the foreground separately from the background, and vice versa.

Object Mask Tracking also takes advantage of AI to recognize and track the movement of thousands of unique objects without having to manually rotoscope.

Surface Tracking uses the CUDA cores found on RTX GPUs to quickly calculate and track any surface

I'm sure more expensive is better but can anybody comment on the relative speed across the Nvidia line?

Is the 3060 useful for 4k or useless?

3070 how much better?

3080 and 3090?

Basically how much do we gain spending more?

Thanks

I have a 3060 130w laptop, but i only edit in FHD. So i can't really help you with my project types. If you have some sort of project to test i can give it a go and report feedback.
Sooner or later i will probably have a drone and they get better cameras than my smartphone.

Have you tried the new AI features from v18 on your 3060? Can it keep up ?

2080 on a 10 year old Windows machine at home. Surface Tracker is reasonably fast.

thanks

No. I did not install v18 yet, can't risk it with betas that seem to have a few issues.
Blackmagic should make Resolve to be able to have more than one install.

I have a 3080 and find the depth map to be pretty slow, but that may also be because my processor is a first gen ryzen

Worrying a 3080 is slow. I guess that means a 3090 might be needed.

I don't think these features make huge use of the CPU.

Speed is relative, problem might rather be too high expectations. Applying inference of big model is slow on any single piece of hardware. Depth map and object mask use machine learning and their speed somewhat depends on whether GPU has hardware cirquitry for accelerating ML calculations (basically specific matrix multiplier units). This hardware has been added to nVidia gpus relatively recently, since Turing/Volta generation. Surface tracker does not use any ML and relies on good old well established CUDA compute framework, which depends on number of hardware cuda cores.
