Resolume *almost* working now with Optimus
Posted: Fri Jul 15, 2011 15:52
Hi,
Previously, Resolume would crash in a matter of seconds when lauched on my Asus latop, a K52J with Nvidia Optimus. See that thread http://www.resolume.com/forum/viewtopic ... mus#p30038
But now since the latest Verde driver (275.33), no more crashes
, every things work fine, except just a little thing, well it's a big thing, the ouput windows has severe filckering, or stuttering if you prefer. I don't know the right word to describe the apperance of the video but just let me say it is not smooth at all.
The problem happen in the ouput monitor and in the output displays (fullscreen or windowed).
The problem does not happen in the preview monitor.
In the NVidia control panel, there is a parameter called "Vertical Syncronisation". If I put the value to "Force Active", the problem is notably reduced, but it's still not playable.
I searched the Nvidia Optimus forum and people are reporting some problems with OpenGL games among others. I opened a thread on that forum a while ago but no answer or clue on how to fix the problem so far.
I need a lead on what could be the problem, then I could open a new thread with specific information to help NVidia to fix the incompatibility in the next driver.
I have the feeling I could be very close to be finally able to use my Optimus laptop with Resolume. I hope a solution will be found, Optimus is not going away, in fact new models of laptop with this technology arrive in the market every months.
Thanks a lot.
