Re: [Avid-L2] dual gpu argument for Avid MC on pc vs mac ?

 

I stand corrected.  But stutter will still be there.  No way around that.

And stutter and latency.

From Nvidia
"eliminating screen tearing and minimizing display stutter and input lag"

Actually gsync is for screen tearing. 

The benefit of sli/cf is upgrade cost. If I have a GTX 670 and want better performance I can either get a more expensive and powerful card, or I can get another GTX 670 for less than the other card. Depending on driver support, SLI can greatly increase performance - sometimes by over 50%, but at least some micro stuttering is always present. It really, really depends on the drivers though.

Parallel GPU rendering (SLI or Crossfire) where primarily designed for
gaming. Micro-stuttering happens during real-time graphic rendering. As
far as I know, CUDA or Open-CL do not support SLI or Crossfire. If in
the future Open-CL supports Crossfire and micro stuttering becomes an
issue, rendering would bypass the issue.

Avid needs a modern GPU dependent playback and render engine. Currently,
there is no support for CUDA or Open-CL.

FYI - Nvidia just released an add-on hardware for monitor manufacturers
called G-sync to address micro-stuttering.
