lowering gpu memory usage under 100% result faster speed?

Post by lansing »

I've ran some benchmarks on a few 1920x1080 clips. When temporal radius was turned on and maximum allowed gpu memory usage was set lower than 100%, most of the time it will increase the speed.

My machine is a i7 4770k @ 4.3Ghz, GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost @ 1Ghz. When I ran benchmark with use cpu+gpu, memory allowed usage to 100%, I would get around 9.6fps. But when I lower it to 35%-50%, I would get 11fps.

Please run Optimize and post log from Optimize window for cases of 100% and 50%.

Thank,

today I offloaded the AVC stream decoding work from gpu to intel gpu, therefore increased the available gpu memory, and then benchmark for 100% gpu memory allowed usage goes up to 11.8fps

Also there's a typo, in the performance tab, megabyte should be MB, not Mb

Thank you.

The results look normal in the 657MB case.

What did make the available GPU memory to go down to 482MB?

Thank you,
Vlad
