Ploddles

New Beta just released, hoping for 6900 drivers. Will find out later.

@fabiosun, have you tried the Candle benchmark for DaVinci Resolve yet? I'm interested to see how it compares to mine when I tried it.

@Ploddles, do you mind sharing your 065 EFI again?  Just got my "repaired" Designare mobo back from Gigabyte and plan to reinstall it because I can't get the TR TB3 card working with my Asrock mobo🤨Thanks!

It can be downloaded from HERE.

@fabiosun, which one did you buy?

@Ploddles, is 6900 XT fully supported in BS 11.1?  Thanks!

I can boot with it but there is no hardware acceleration etc.

@Jaidy
Yes I’m using 0.6.5 now. I’ll zip it up and send you a download link tonight.

@Jaidy, try changing to iMacPro1,1?

@Ploddles have you ran Cinebench R23 on your hack? I just did and the numbers are quite low it seems. Single core is 1054, while multicore stands at 42319. I am curious what are your numbers?

Has anyone else tried OC 0.6.5 and using the built in Intel WiFi on Gigabyte boards? My wifi has stopped working. Will troubleshoot it later but wondering if anyone else has this issue.

@meina222  When I relink the media file it doesn't immediately show in the preview window(s). I seem to have to flick between the Edit and Colour work spaces, or whatever they are called in Resolve - the tabs at the bottom of app, a few times and eventually it appears. It does seem strange behaviour but it is the same in 16 & 17.

Maybe you could temporarily load Teamviewer, or something similar, and let @fabiosun remote control your machine. Just a suggestion but entirely up to both of you.

I updated Resolve from version 16 to the version 17 beta. The scores were the same.

OC 0.6.5 has been released. Still waiting for Lilu.kext and VirtualSMC.kext to drop as well and then I'll test it. Two new entries to be added, and one removed, from your config.plist.

Davinci Resolve 16.2.8 Free Edition

Gigabyte RX 6900 XT

Windows 64 Pro (OpenCL)

66 Blur Nodes

20-22 fps

6 TRN Nodes

30-31 fps

Big Sur - won't run atm, no drivers (yet?)

On Windows, I had to select the 'loop' as well otherwise it would only play the once.

@meina222click on project and open it

then from the edit page click on red clip icon (missing link) right clip replace file

search on your drive trackingxxxx.mov file and choose it

then move to color page and press space

 

When I did this for the first time earlier, when you try to relink it just browse to where the .mov file is located, you don't actually see it listed. I thought I was doing something wrong but you aren't.  Just select open and it will take a few seconds before you see the clip in Resolve.

Does the Studio version have a free trial period? If so I can download that and try again.

No trial version of Studio 😞

30-31 with 6 TRN. These are all on Windows 10 of course until macOS drivers come out.

How do I do the 6 TRN test if you want me to try it?

Still the same, flipping between 21 and 22 (OpenCL).

This is with 66 Nodes. The top images is when I have Edit selected in the bottom tab bar (24 frames), the second image when I have Colour selected in the bottom tab bar (20 - 22 frames).

How does that compare?

@fabiosun where do I download the project from? The original site from a google search leads to a site that no longer exists. I'll try it this evening.

Resolve, via Remote Desktop.

If I get the chance over the weekend, I'll run them again but not via Remote Desktop, as I don't know how much this affects things, if at all.
