Hey everyone,

I work for an event space which just got a new system with an HP Z workstation. Switching over from a Mac with a GTX970 4GB edition, I did not expect to have an issue playing one video at 5860x800 with a 1920x1080 layered on top of it. However, I average out about 25fps. The workstation also features PCI-E drives exclusively, which are supposed to be a big step up from SSD's.

Also, Resolume will sometimes freeze up the output and preview displays but still present the controls as if it is still operating. This usually results in a force close.

All content is in DXV3 format using AME and running from a secondary PCI-E drive.
Global effects are disabled.
I can post more hardware info as requested.

Any tips or ideas as to what I can do to improve performance?

We've found that sometimes the Quadro cards don't work as efficiently as they could. They are designed for architecture and medical applications that use millions of vertices. Since Resolume only needs 4 vertices per video, the card thinks it doesn't need to do any hard work and sticks to some 'low energy mode'.

Could you try adding the LineScape plugin from the Sources and see it that boosts performance?

This is usually caused by running out of VRAM. Since the M6000 should support 12GB of VRAM, you'd have to pull off some crazy stuff to fill it up.

Could you send over your comp file so we can take a look at it?

Hey Joris,

Really sorry for the delayed response. We've since upgraded the projectors and I am in the process of rebuilding the entire collection...

I am now facing other problems but may contact you over PM for some assistance when the time comes.

On a side note, is there a way to force full power use of the M6000?

Thanks,
Martin

No worries. We found that the PM system doesn't really work well when providing software support, so we've turned them off for all admins. You can always reach me via mail@resolume.com.

You can kick the Quadro into high gear by adding the LineScape source. That's why I asked you to see if that made any difference
