Hi
1st of all I'd like to thank BM for the powerhouse of a tool that is Resolve studio... feels petty (excuse the pun;-) every questioning or moaning about software that does so much for so little.
But I would love a little more clarity over a few things?
1) I notice that NVlink is now supported? Does this mean tools like TNR will be more efficient when working on a dual GPU system with NVLink? At the moment TNR can bring a render to its knees... and doesn't scale well over multi GPU systems? If not why is NVlink inc and what is the benefit? (now or the future)
2) I have been testing a multi GPU system with the aim of upgrading my system asap (I currently have a HP Z8 2x 14core Xeon 2.6ghz with P2000 for GUI and Titan XP for compute.. this was based on a Recommend from BM resolve 15 config guide)
I tested 2x2080ti today to check if r3d Decoding and debayer on GPU scales with multi GPU systems and it seems to do it well.. ! Great! Will NVLink help also? now or in the future?
... and this question is not for anyone who get frustrated by others buying something they wouldn't... RE r3d files Is there any other benefit to be had from the RTX A6000 or RTX A5000 gpu's over the Geforce equivalents..? (I already understand the cost per Cuda core, warrantee, drivers, fan, power consumption, and reduced memory chip number for same Ram size arguments/points)
At the moment I can get 17.5 fps out (no grade just full premium 16bit 8k to 4k timeline decode) of my CPU/GPU in debayer only mode. This become 23fps if I engage decode only on GPU with R3ds BUT my Titan Xp gets maxed out and utilisation is 99% so there is nothing left over for grading!
I am thinking I will upgrade my GPU to a RTX A5000 as it should just about give me RT and leave me about 15%+ of the GPU available for light grading. This machine sometimes does editorial files with a light grade not just fin programe grading and this is why I don't proxy anything and speed is essential.
(if I go heavy with the grade I can switch back to CPU assistance for the de-waveleting and then I will be at 17.5 fps but with loads of GPU available)
In this senario I feel I can then add another RTX A5000 and be RT or better for everything I personally do regaularly apart from keyed or qualified TNR..
3) Anyone with direct experience of the RTX A5000 (not Quadro RTX 5000)? I realise they just shipped in very very limited numbers so this is not that likely. If not anyone with direct experience of the RTX A6000??
And is there any downside in having a separate GUI card that doesn't do any Resolve compute work (FUSION usages aside)
ALSO PLEASE could BM please do the Config guides for Resolve again??
thank you
