v21 Sluggesh

Roger Bansemer wrote on 8/25/2023, 4:51 PM

Been using V21 subscription for about a week now and am finding it very sluggish. Even on draft mode I sometimes have to give the transitions several passes to see if they are OK. Been having crashes too. Not as many as V20 but enough to be an annoyance. Anyone have any these same issues? I have a 3070 graphics card and have the "GPU acceleration of video processing" for the RTX3070 turned on. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Sorry Roger, not having any such issues so far. As a matter of fact V21 is a slight bit snappier than V20 for me.

I was able to get the Vegas Benchmark project to crash, using latest Nvidia studio drivers. playback is 1.5x

seems some seriuos bug/leak still remained in V21 code :(

@Roger Bansemer Are you using NVDEC decoding? Does it improve if you turn it off in preferences/ file io or click on enable legacy AVC there? There are a couple other reports of sluggishness but unclear if they are connected.

Steve likely wouldn't see it as he has his GPU disabled.

Here's what I have... Not sure what you suggest I do. Enable both, or #1 or #2 in the check box list.

What I meant is that you could use the current AVC decoder (keep legacy AVC unchecked) but change hardware decoder from NVDEC to none.

Alternatively you could enable the legacy AVC decoder (which doesn't use NVDEC- it's all CPU).

If either of these things improve the situation that's useful information so please let us know, especially if you have found VP 21 worse than 20.

I'll give that a try and let you know. Thanks very much.

That seems to help the sluggishness but V21 is still crashing.

Good to hear on slugishness.

When it crashes is there an error message (does the error box appear with "show problem details"?) or anything that you think triggers the crash?

Most of the time no box pops up. Sometimes it does and I submit the problem. Other times I don't bother to submit as I'd be doing that all the time so I just restart. I'll look more closely at that info next time.
