[Problems with 4k playback]

Hey Walter,

 

Thanks for your help

Yes , WO 6.

And yes Watchout is installed on the m.2.

I was wondering if the m.2 slot and the GPU have to share the 16 pcie lanes the CPU supports.

 

But if i read it right in the manual of the motherboard the M.2 SSD is connected to the CPU via DMI 3.0.

so this shouldnt be the problem.

 

i measured the read speed of the SSD an its over 3000 Mb/s.

 

I can playback and loop two  4k files in HAP with 30fps simultaniously on top of each other perfectly , but not one with 60fps.

 

is there a maximum of bitrate per file  that Watchout supports?

 

The 4k HAP 60fps - clip is ten seconds long and has a bitrate above 600Mb/s

 

 

 

[Problems with 4k playback]

Hey,

I am a beginner in watchout.

so sorry if some of my questions are stupid.

 

i have a problem with 4kq60 playback on a Display-PC i just tweaked for Watchout.

i have the following PC-components:

 

Motherboard:  MSI H270 PCmate ATX

CPU: i7-6700K

Drives: Intel SSD SATA for OS,   Samsung NVNe SSD 960pro M.2  for WO

GPU: AMD Radeon pro WX7100

 

i tried a lot of different codecs:

h.264, mpeg2, hapq, hap

with 60fps  i get some seconds of smooth playbackt than it starts to stutter ( mpeg2 with 80 Mb/s runs smooth for some minutes , then starts to stutter ,too)

Hap with 30fps runs smooth

 

I know that this is not an high end Display PC,  but all i need is playback and loop of one 4k file with 60 fps.

Shouldn't that be possible with this PC?  or am i missing a bottleneck in this configuration?

Thanks for your help.
