anilsholodream Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Guys which of these cards will be a good choice for my new servers - AMD 7990 or NVIDIA GTX TITAN or FIREPRO W9000 / 7000??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NNinja Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I think it depends on the number of outputs you want. I have several 7990 and I'm quite happy with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limeworks Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I also have two HD 7990s and they work exceptionally well - and have run 6 full HD streams from them without issue (sometimes some read delay from the HDD - easily fixed with RAID).. Firepro would be better if you need Genlock capability though. I do notice some free-running videos get out of sync with each other when running for extended periods of time. I think Genlock will fix that since the display card listens to a master clock. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or SSD:s, as highly recommended in all our setup guidelines for multioutput DisplayPC:s. Firepro would be better if you need Genlock capability though. I do notice some free-running videos get out of sync with each other when running for extended periods of time. I think Genlock will fix that since the display card listens to a master clock. We are not talking genlock here, but graphics card frame-lock. Both AMD FirePro (W7/8/9xxx-series+S400) and NVidia Quadro (K5/6xxx-series+Quadro Sync) can give you this capability. The hardware portion has to be set up before enabling this in WATCHOUT. Please look into this thread here for more info: http://forum.dataton.com/topic/1112-watchout-55-how-to-set-up-frame-lock/ http://forum.dataton.com/topic/1112-watchout-55-how-to-set-up-frame-lock/?do=findComment&comment=4340 http://forum.dataton.com/topic/1112-watchout-55-how-to-set-up-frame-lock/?do=findComment&comment=4382 /jonas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limeworks Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Or SSD:s, as highly recommended in all our setup guidelines for multioutput DisplayPC:s. We are not talking genlock here, but graphics card frame-lock. Sorry i should clarify, we are using SSD - even SATAIII - we would get jumping on 6 x HD outputs and traced it back to read of the SSD apparently maxing out. We're yet to test with RAID0 but have plans to try 2 x 128GB SSD in place of the 256GB SSD currently in the display machine we're referencing. We are probably pushing limits of throughput so we might find it's some other slow-point (but running performance statistics points to this). We're not near the theoretical limits, so who knows until we test it. And yes - my error regarding Frame-Lock, sorry for the mistake. Thanks, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Just wanted to clarify a bit. /jonas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomT Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I have several 7990 Watchout supports dual-GPU ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 No, WATCHOUT 5.x.x does not support multi-GPU. http://forum.dataton.com/topic/93-wo5-multi-output/ /jonas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NNinja Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 By saying Watchout 5.xxx doesn't support it - do we get a clue that maybe Watchout 6.xxx will do ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 No, we are not saying that. /jonas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limeworks Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Watchout supports dual-GPU ? Probably worth noting that 7990 is dual-GPU on the one card - which IS fully supported. But unfortunately dual cards not supported Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
