Slow FPS on a Windows-Machine (1080p)

Hello,

Resolume outputs Videos on my Windows-machine in 1080p (DXV) only with 15 fps. If I add another video it goes down to 7 fps.

CPU: i7-3770K
GPU: GeForce GTX 680 4GB

So the hardware shouldn't be the reason.

Tried the same files on a MacBook Pro with integrated Iris Pro without any issues (60 fps).

Any Idea?

is it a dual graphics machine?
check resolume log file for
---Info main OpenGL renderer---

om my machine it looks like:
Vendor : ATI Technologies Inc.
Model: AMD Radeon HD 7600M Series

in the model you should see the gtx,
resolume uses the card that displays the primary windows screen.

Can you give more specifics about your composition, such as # of layers, # of clips per deck, etc...?

Also, what's your motherboard and RAM?

That MB does have onboard graphics

So make sure you connect everything you are using with Resolume to your Nvidia GPU including your control monitor.

Also it appears that only 3 of the 4 orange PCIe slots run at X16 and both X16_1 & X16_3 share their lanes with the two X8 slots so make sure you Nvidia GPU is plugged in X16_2 to get best performance.

---Info main OpenGL renderer---
Vendor : NVIDIA Corporation
Model: GeForce GTX 680/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL version: 4.4.0 NVIDIA 344.65
OpenGL version short: 4.4
OpenGL shader language version: 4.40 NVIDIA via Cg compiler

Both displays are connected with the Nvidia GPU (1080p DisplayPort & 1080p HDMI).

Even current games runs smoothly...

May you also check all of your energy management configurations...could be that there is something set to "always save energy".

Some additional questions:
- Is your clip also played back jerky with the normal Quicktime Player?
- In your first post you wrote that you are playing back with 1080p...but what is the resolution of the clip?

Greetings

Is your GPU in the second lane? If not, and you have other PCIe devices cards, it might not work at full speed.

Also, I would try uninstalling the NVIDIA drivers using something like DDU http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/ and reinstalling the most recent non-beta driver from scratch.

You didn't give us your comp specs such as # of decks, layers and clips per deck.

maybe try to run the benchmark composition just to rule out your comp as issue.
