R6 performance...

[Luxcollective]

Sooo... finally have some quiet time to start transitioning to R6 but.... I am seeing significantly less performance with r6 than 5.1.4 with large content (11520x1080 DXV HQ). It cruises at 40fps to 60fps on 5.1.4 but drops to 15-20FPS on R6. Simple 11520x1080 composition, 1 layer, straight playback, no effects (just for testing). Currently just mapping out single layer to a 1920x1080 monitor

Titan X Pascal 12 GB GPU
SSD Raid
8-core

Resource monitor is showing:
16% memory
11% cpu
16% GPU load

...so I don't know where the bottleneck is.

I thought R6 was supposed to be better/faster render engine. I am definitely not seeing that.

Thoughts?

Did you disable the video recording that gets turned back on?

If you mean the "record" function in Arena, it is not activated.

The "Record video" option in the settings was what I was referring to. The next thing would be your audio buffer. I've noticed times where having a buffer actually killed FPS. Beyond that, I'm not sure where to direct you.

I also have performance issues (already reported).

According to task manager
CPU load is at ~22% (Resolume = 19%)
RAM load is at ~22% (Resolume = 974,5 MB)

Takes ages to load the composition

Have you tried to uninstall all previous installed version and do a clean install?

[Luxcollective]

Looks like the only solution is sticking with DXV-normal when working in very high resolutions. I get back up to 60FPS on R6 with 11520x1080 using DVX Normal.

Sucks because DXV normal is very susceptible to compression artifacts and banding in gradients.

I'm having the same issue... even down rendering to 30 fps I'm at 36% total usage but when i use Resolume 5 i'm at maybe 5% total usage. When i use 60fps its usage increases to like 42%

We fixed some issues regarding buffering and improved performance quite dramatically, so make sure you check out 6.0.5 when it comes out.

i have no fps issues.. but i have lags when lunching another clip.
Our Content is 5952 x 768 in DXV3 HQ and runs stable in 2-4 Layers at 120fps. But as soon you lunch a nother clip in same layers there is short dropout / lags. Hope it get fixed in 6.0.5.
