what is the most important?

[werlin]

i dont know much about the tecnical side, so for those who know...

what is actually making the mix in resolume? what is the investement that really speeds up fps?

is it:

cpu?
RAM?
Grafix card?
Video Card?
other?

(of course machinery is allways the best way to go, but i'm just talking computer-related pieces)

thanks for your time and attention
peace&light!

definately CPU and then Hard drives followed by RAM. That's the order i'd say.

GFX doesnt matter as long as you have the outputs you need.

agreed

[DayVeeJay]

Hard drive speed then cpu and ram in my opinion

[Danger]

in my opinion
cpu and drive speed are in the same level of importance
i don't think ram is so important ... today "all" computers have 512 and it runs very well
i had 1gb on my laptop and upgrade to 2gb and didn't notice anything

but Edwin is the person that should have the right "calssification"

Edwin, please help us!

i agree with danger, RAM is not such an issue. when using 320x200 to 640x480 process resolutions i cant tell any difference between 512MB or more. even 512MB is sufficient. CPU cant be fast enough, although dual cores do not really help, resolume seems to single threaded. Desktop HDDs with fast seek times (7200+rpm) improve performance when loading videos and may remove stutters when loading an scratching. throughput is not such an issue. GFX do not matter at all, as resolume does not support video card hardware acceleration.

cheers.

one thing i forgot: using optimized clips in proper formats can be the cheapest of all thinkable performance boosts, as it may help more than some additional mghz.

CPU and Harddrive are the things that matter most for Resolume 2, we do recommend having at least 1 gig of RAM though.
