In version 17.0, Blackmagic added “Support for NVLink high speed interconnect with supported NVIDIA GPUs”. But does this feature actually increase performance in Windows 10, or are you better off leaving it disabled?
DaVinci Resolve Studio – AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3000 Series CPU Performance
AMD’s new Threadripper Pro CPUs are here, combining many of the features from their Threadripper and EPYC CPU lines including increased memory and PCI-E capability. These increased capabilities should make them excellent for DaVinci Resolve, but are they worth the higher cost?
DaVinci Resolve Studio – NVIDIA RTX A6000 48GB Performance
While the launch of NVIDIA and AMD’s consumer GPUs have been a major topic recently, NVIDIA is also starting to release the successor to their Quadro RTX line – starting with the RTX A6000. In this article, we will look at how it performs in DaVinci Resolve Studio compared to recent NVIDIA Quadro and AMD Radeon Pro GPUs.
DaVinci Resolve Studio – AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Performance
DaVinci Resolve has long been known for how well it utilizes the power of your GPU, with NVIDIA being the top performer for several years. But will this continue with the recently launched Radeon RX 6900 XT, or will AMD be able to take the lead?
DaVinci Resolve Studio – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Performance
DaVinci Resolve has long been known for how well it utilizes the power of your GPU, with NVIDIA being the top performer for several years. But will this continue with the recently launched GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB, or will AMD be able to take the lead at the mid-range?
DaVinci Resolve Studio – AMD Radeon RX 6800 (XT) Performance
DaVinci Resolve has long been known for how well it utilizes the power of your GPU, with NVIDIA being the top performer for several years. However, with the recently released Radeon RX 6800 and 6800 XT, will AMD be able to match or beat NVIDIA in DaVinci Resolve?
PCI-Express 4.0 vs 3.0 Video Card Performance
PCI-Express has been the standard for connecting video cards and other expansion devices inside of computers for many years now, and several generations of the technology have now passed. With each of those generations, the amount of data that can be transferred over the PCIe connection has increased. How much impact does that have on modern video cards? Is there any benefit to running a PCIe 3.0 card in a 4.0 slot, or loss if using a 4.0 card in a 3.0 slot?
DaVinci Resolve Studio: AMD Ryzen 5000 Series CPU Performance
Ever since the launch of their 3rd generation Ryzen and Threadripper processors, AMD processors have been a strong choice for DaVinci Resolve Studio. Not only is Resolve able to utilize a decent number of CPU cores, but because of how heavily it leverages the GPU, having a platform with PCI-E 4.0 can make a measurable impact on performance. However, AMD’s Ryzen 5000 Series processors are here, touting major increases in performance in per-core performance which should allow AMD to take a solid lead over Intel in DaVinci Resolve.
DaVinci Resolve Studio – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, 3080 & 3090 Performance
DaVinci Resolve has long been known for how well it utilizes the power of your GPU, but will it benefit from the raw power of the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB, RTX 3080 10GB or RTX 3090 24GB video cards?
Quad GeForce RTX 3090 in a desktop – Does it work?
NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX 3090 24GB is an incredibly powerful GPU, but the power consumption makes it difficult to use even two cards in a desktop workstation. Are three or even four GPUs possible, or is the heat and power draw too high to be feasible?
