1. Disconnecting eGPUs brings back the normal playback speed.
2. I did a test and attached the UI monitor to the second eGPU. It is unfortunate because I have to disconnect the eGPUs when starting up, the computer will not boot with both eGPUs btw. I have no log-in screen using eEGPUs.
Ok I did 2 tests:
- With all 3 GPUs selected the playback speed is ok BUT the rendering/caching is very slow. Unfortunately the eGPU is almost idling at 1% of load and the slowest/oldest D500 GPU get all the load, which is very unfortunate and I would like to avoid such a scenario.
- Even when I deselect the D500 and keep 2x eGPUs all the GPU load goes to D500... so it's not working for me either.
My thoughts:
Looks like my original setup was optimal for my system (D500 connected to UI monitor, and 2x eGPU on separate TB buses). It was efficient and fast because of proper eGPU utilization.
Unfortunately with 1% of the eGPU rendering load I'm wasting the real power of very fast AMD 6800XT GPUs.
The question:
Is there any chance to get back to the Resolve 17.3.2 behavior on the 17.4? That would solve the problems.
I was a happy Resolve user and upgraded many many times until now.
Otherwise I'll be stuck on the 17.3.2 forever :/
