Support forum for DG Tools

Greetings and other salutations.

I'm not sure where to plonk this query, so here seems as good as any given it seemingly involves mainly DG NV decodes. I did a quick search for "concurrent" and didn't readily spot anything.

Since I have a 3900X and am not too worried about cpu cores, I would like (famous last words) to be able to run 2 simultaneous workflows with NVDec decodes and NVEnc encodes in 2 concurrent batch scripts, i.e. combinations which may arise seem to include :-
(a) [1] DGIndexNV (NVDec?) and [2] DGIndexNV (NVDec?)
(b) [1] DGIndexNV (NVDec?) and [2] DGSource (NVDec) and DG filters in a vpy used by ffmpeg to NVEnc encode
(c) [1] DGSource (NVDec) and DG filters in a vpy used by ffmpeg to NVEnc encode and [2] DGSource (NVDec) and DG filters in a vpy used by ffmpeg to NVEnc encode

Checking the Nvidia 2060 Super in the support matrix
https://developer.nvidia.com/video-enco ... matrix-new
it says

NVENC - Encoding:
GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER Turing TU106 7th Gen D 1 1 1 3 YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
So, "Max # of concurrent sessions" = 3

NVENC - Decoding:
GeForce RTX 2060 - 2080 Turing TU106/TU106B/TU104 4th Gen D 1 1 1 YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES NO NO
So, eek, "Total # of NVDEC" = 1 ? Which doesn't seem right, only 1 NVDec at a time, for DGSource and playing videos ?

I suppose on top of that I'd need to concurrently surf the web and play on youtube or perhaps view a different video source.

I wonder, do you know how many combinations of DG and stuff work on a 2060 Super, or should I try to ask over on the Nvidia support site ?

NVDec supports multi-instances, i.e., although there is only one decode engine, it supports multiple simultaneous decodes.

The 2060 Super has 8GB, so I would not expect it to be limited in the cases you described. Best is for you to try them while monitoring memory usage with GPU-Z. Then let us know what you've found.

OK.
Thank you.

I also have an old PC with a 1050Ti so I'll experiment on that first
