Funkiemitch Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hey All, I got a question about GPU/CPU coverage Right now i'm having a display computer with: I7 3770k Asus sybertooth z77 16gb ram 2x 120g ssd intel 1xasus hd7970 1x capture hdsdi decklink sdi 1x capture rgb datapath Right now i am searching the forum if i need to update my rack or not? will i be able to use this config for 4x 1920x1080 outputs, what will be my restrictions? i will have a congres set up with 2 duplicated screens and 1 12x4m screen dual blend HDXW20 projectors live capture from camera for the side screens and a laptop capture for the blended screen. and 3 graphic layers used for the blended screen. What will be the best solution here? thanks in advance. Mitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Ramos Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Why don't you just tryout the system before the show. Plug in 4 monitors and run the show to see rig capabilities ... But if only camera capture on the side screens why use a WO here? Any way, regardless of the rig specs I would feel safer with 2 machines one for the central screen and the other for the side screens. Its the way I build my projects. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataton Partner Walter Posted May 17, 2015 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Mitch, shouldn't be a problem at all. I've tested similar hardware with 20+ layers and live captures on each 4 outputs without a hiccup. Of course it all depends on your source material's specs. As Alex says, just do it in a test setup. But what I don't understand: after a system build, first thing you would do is take it on a test run driving it to the limits, wouldn't you? Otherwise you have a piece of rental equipment laying around without knowing its capabilities?!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkiemitch Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hi ALex, thanks for your reply I run the side screens because there will also be introduction films in between speakers. where all 3 screens will be one decor.

Funkiemitch Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hello Walter Thanks for the advice. I did a test with 6 outputs but without the 2 captures running at the same time. But the thing is i see a lot of new systems with new Vid cards and new codecs running so i was wondering if this rig still is stable enough. otherwise i will be going for a new i7 6 core and a firepro w8100 but if not needed i wil stay on this rig. I bought this system 3 years a go because of a corporate tour. and afterwards it stood still for a while. so i'm just curious whether i need to update my rig yes or no. thanks,mitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataton Partner Walter Posted May 20, 2015 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hi Mitch, well, in that case it all depends on economics. With regards to hardware specs, current setup will suffice for most applications. If your rig is continuously on the road and you feel it's time to upgrade / renew since it already has paid for itself, AND you expect enough work for the coming three years, I'd upgrade (just did actually ;-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkiemitch Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Thanks all. I think it wil be: Asus x99 pro I7 6core 2x 250gb samsumg Ssd W7100 And now just looking for 2133 or 3200 ddr4? Mitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
