Support forum for DG Tools

Hi.

I am in the proccess of making a list of things to get for an upgrade of my current system.

Currently I have a GTX 960, and was planning to get a GTX 1050 TI for the new system.

Will there be any gain at all, or might I just as well keep the GTX 960. Or should I even go with a 1060, eventhough it is quite a bit more expensive than the 1050 TI.

I only use the GFX for dg. I don't play games what so ever.

It must support HEVC decoding like the GTX 960, but I guess the entire 1000 range does that.

Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The relevant difference for decoding for Maxwell -> Pascal is an increase in decoding speed of about 33%. For Maxwell -> Turing it's over 100%. This improvement may not be immediately relevant if you are not bottlenecked by decode speed.

If you are going to upgrade I would consider a 1660 Ti at about $280, or a 1050 Ti at about $150.

If you are encoding with NVEnc, the analysis changes a lot.

I try to always run the latest cards, not necessarily for performance, but to ensure that DGDecNV continues working with the latest architectures. For my CUDA filters the more CUDA cores the better.

I've got a RTX 2070 Gigabyte Gaming OC, and it's awesome. Decoding of 1080p bluray is about 500 fps, encoding into AVC is near the same speed, and HEVC 10 bit is about 320 fps. Very impressive results.

Thanks for the inputs.

I think I will go with the 1050 TI, since any of the 20xx Cards are wat more than I want to spend, and the 1660 TI isn't even available where I live yet.

I will be using it for demuxing only. Encoding is done using x264 or x265.

You'll be very happy with your 1050 Ti.

I have a 1050Ti and am pleased with it.

Nvenc HEVC Encoding via 1050Ti hardware doesn't do B-frames (only available in 2* models ?) so choose wisely

Yes, only on 20xx models.
