nVidia 1080ti or nVidia M400

[crv74]

Hi there everyone,

i'm just wondering if Resolume Arena would benefit of the nvidia M4000 + nvidia Sync card capabilities to sync al 4K outputs, but would lack performance vs as the 1080ti does?

I've got a rig with a 1080 and i've tried the demo mode of Arena 5 and seems pretty solid in real time processing terms, but if the outputs of the GPU are connected directly to LED electronics (not htrough a kind of seamless mixer), there is a little out-of-sync issues between physical outputs (that is a fact and an issue), so that is my concern: to make a real 4x4K rig, would the nvidia M4000+nVidia Sync be the best option?

Or any other suggestio that can be a good choice.

Thanks in advance,

Carles

P5000 is close to a 1080. Synced outputs and good performance. Should in theory work well with resolume, not sure about that. Would love to hear feedback.

This is the same card I was looking at for a sync'd 8k output setup for a client. Waiting to hear back from that PM about tour funding before I start the build.

Like you said, in theory it should work. I'm going to give myself plenty of leeway to fix any problems,

If anyone else get a chance to test this card before I do, I'd love to hear some feedback as well.

Interesting facts:

1080ti GPU Specs:
NVIDIA CUDA® Cores: 3584
Boost Clock (MHz): 1582
Standard Memory Config: 11 GB GDDR5X
Memory Interface Width: 352-bit
Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec): 484
Maximum Resolution: 7680x4320@60Hz

P5000 GPU specs
NVIDIA CUDA® Cores: 2560 (71.4%)
Base Clock (MHz): 1513 (roughly same)
Standard Memory Config: 16 GB GDDR5X (145%)
Memory Interface Width: 256-bit (72.7%)
Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec): 288 (59.5%)
Maximum Resolution: 7680x4320@30Hz (50%)

Based on these numbers, I would think the 1080ti would perform much better with Resolume on large compositions so I’ll be interested hearing the details of a test!

Yah I personally think a comparison to a standard 1080 would be more in line. I suspect the Ti will blow it out of the water. But i am keen!

The only problem on that "beating" of 1080Ti's over P/M4000's is that the GTX series does NOT sync outputs, and the nvidia sync card only is for the Quadro series, so it's a lot of more budget to put into it.
As i've said that is applied if you connect directly to electronic sending cards for large LED walls (and i mean large, over 7000px wide), not if you're projecting and blending.

I want to be sure because the "easy-cheap" config is the one with GTX 1080ti, the Quandro option is more thant the double of that.

Thanks, and i'll keep reading feedback.

That is exactly my thought process as well. Of course the Geforce series will perform better, but the Quadro series has the output sync, which in your case, is what is more important!
Will the Quadro series card at least keep up, and get you 4-5 layers of 8k in sync and not drop below 30fps when pushed with some delay rgb fx and a few layer routers?

That is the question I would like to se answered with real world tests. Unfortunately I won't be able to do those test for a few months, so If you want to dig in and be the man, I would LOVE to hear back, how it turned out. Or has anyone else tried this yet? There are better Quadro cards out there too, that can get you better specs, I just want to know if they work like I think they "should" work, in my head haha.

Great question btw, It's been in the back of my mind for a while now.
