Hi to all,
I'm buying a new laptop and I'm selecting some models with GPUs that will able me to work with Dain.
From now, my choices envolve the following models: GeForce GTX 960M, GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti - from the less to more expensive. All models specified to CUDA 5 or above.
Anyone personally tried some of these to give me advices? The extra price for the latter two of them worth (makes a relevant difference) in front of the very cheaper first option?
Thanks for the attention!
I am using a GL702VM Laptop by Asus. It has an i7-6700HQ processor, 16 Gb RAM, and the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 , with 6GB VRAM. I have been able to use DAIN with this laptop. I have not tried converting a native 1920 x 1080 clip yet with it; but I AM able to do 1280 x 720. My desktop has the RTX 2070 Super and I do get the out of memory error when doing a 1080 clip. However, If I close all other running items that use the video card such as YouTube videos on Chrome, or other video editing software (even if they are idle and performing no function) I AM able to convert a 1920 x 1080 clip. Again, that is with my desktop with the RTX 2070 Super with 8GB VRAM. I can say with 100% certainty that I AM able to do 1280 x 720 with this laptop.
I am using even a weaker card than the weakest you mentioned. My GTX 860M with ONLY 2GB of vram is doing pretty well in DAIN Alpha 1.0. I'm processing ~3K footage now (2234x1560px) and it's handling it fine. I only have to use some X-Y slicing (currently 4 slices on X and 4 slices on Y so 16 individual segments with 100px padding). Havent noticed any tearing so far.
