HP Z840 Graphic memory full issue.

Whenever I try to render in 4K with noise reduction applied, Resove 15 gives me the message "Graphic Memory Full". What is the solution? What should be my hardware configuration?

You'll need a minimum of 8 GB VRAM in your GPU.

Try to get a VEGA FE with 16 GB of VRAM ($1.000) and sell the K4200. The VEGA FE can use both consumer and professionel drivers from AMD and it also has 10 bits color overlay in OpenGL.
Speedwise you can compare the VEGA FE with the Quadro P6000 (+/- 10% depending on the application).

Hi.

I don't know what else software you run on your HP Z840. If you need professional drivers?
But normally run Resolve faster on GTX graphics cards than on their Quadro counterparts.

The price of GTX 1080 Ti 11 GB is currently lower on Amazon.com and many other places.

Here is a link to a OpenCL benchmark. It also show the VEGA Frontier Edition (FE) compared to the other. But nVidea cards will use its CUDA cores and run even faster.

CPU and GPU makers often tune their drivers for benchmarks, that's why it is often better to benchmark the programs them selves.

Always try to use some commen sence when reading reviews and keep in mind that almost everybody is more or less biased. Reviews are also about the performance at the time of the review, new drivers might increase the results. Linux often beats windows in real-live.
