32 Core AMD Ryzen BUT with low fps

[brendo]

Hello Friends....
I've been using DCP-O-Matic for many years with very little in the way of issues.

I have a new Windows 10 Pro (For workstation) machine and an AMD Ryzan Threadripper 32 core hyper-threaded 2990wx and 64GB of memory

Regardless of what settings or preferences I select, change or edit i'm only getting 11 - 15 fps.

any thoughts as to what the problem is?

Thanks

Hi,

We've had some reports before of disappointing performance with threadripper, but never got to the bottom of it.

My first question would be: what type of source file are you using?

It's interesting that you seem to have exactly 16 cores being maxed out (or nearly) maxed out.

Not that this would explain what is going on - but you could try to run the encoding server on the same machine (that is possible). Assign half the available logical cores to DCP-o-matic main, and the other half to the encoding server in prefs. Then try again. Is your test 2k or 4k?

mostly the source files I use are 20 -25GB MKVs. This project is 2K Scope

so using the same machine as an encoding server and splitting makes no difference really - actually gives a little spike of an extra fps or 2 then drops back and forward like that.

I'm just not getting much more increased performance than from my previous 10 Core Intel Xeon.
