paola.coltelli Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Hello everyone, i've seen the requirements in the support page but i was wondering what would be the minimum and recommended graphic cards to work with an Obsidian R in stereoscopic 360. Thanx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paola.coltelli Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Thanx!!! Those are the info i was reading, but i understand that it's important to know how our computers will perform with the Obsidian's files rendering a video in stereoscopic 3D at the maximum resolution. I wonder if the requirements change in this particular case. The problem is i can't test Mistika VR on this computers right now, but i need to make some decisions. Maybe you have tested Mistika VR with some similar systems and can make some predictions... PC 1: - CPU Intel Core i7-6700K - Asus Sabertooth Z170 - 2x RAM Kingston 16GB DDR4 2133MHz - PNY GEFORCE GTX 980 TI XLR8 OC - Corsair SSD FORCE LS 480 GB 540/ PC2 - CPU: i7-7700k 4.2 GHz - ASUS Dual GeForce® GTX 1070, 1771 MHz, 8GB DDR5 - RAM: 2x8GB DDR4 2400MHz - SSD: 480GB PC3 - i7-7700HQ - 16GB - GeForce GTX 1070 with 8GB DDR5 Should i add more RAM? Buy a new Graphic Card? Thank you very much for your help!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Moreno Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 The key aspect is the GPU, I suppose your rig has 6 cameras and you want stereo at high resolution. The GPU will be critical for this. Then, the PC2 and PC3 sound better, as the 1070 should be faster than the 980. As you want highest resolution I would aslo recommend a bit more RAM, also because it is not a expensive component. 32GB should be fine. Regarding the GPU, a better option would be a gforce 1080 ti, but it depends on your budget, the 1080 ti is faster but logically more expensive. Also please note that if you use a very fast GPU you will also need a CPU that can keep the rythm during the render. A particular case that requires hi spec CPU is rendering to Prores, which is a slow format and the CPU will need to be decoding the camera files and encoding to Prores at the same time. In that particular situation, having a top spec GPU with a slow CPU could transfer the bottleneck from the GPU to the CPU. Meanwhile, if you plan to render with the NVidia encoder then an average CPU model is enough One more detail. If you plan to render to compressed formats (mpeg4, h264/h265, Prores) then that's all you need. But if you need to render to uncompressed formats like DPX then you may want to pay attention to the hard disk, use a fast model or a decent SSD.
