anilsholodream Posted May 10, 2014 Report 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??? 0 Quote
NNinja Posted May 12, 2014 Report 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 0 Quote
limeworks Posted May 13, 2014 Report 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 0 Quote

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 0 Quote

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 0 Quote
Jonas Dannert Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 Just wanted to clarify a bit. /jonas 0 Quote
TomT Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 I have several 7990 Watchout supports dual-GPU ? 0 Quote
Jonas Dannert Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 No, WATCHOUT 5.x.x does not support multi-GPU. http://forum.dataton.com/topic/93-wo5-multi-output/ /jonas 0 Quote
NNinja Posted May 19, 2014 Report 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 ? 0 Quote
Jonas Dannert Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 No, we are not saying that. /jonas 0 Quote
limeworks Posted May 19, 2014 Report 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 0 Quote
dabbz Posted January 10, 2024 Report Posted January 10, 2024 Does the RTX A4000 have a compatibility issue with watchout 6.7? 0 Quote
