I have no idea. I'm not a programmer, but I do notice that on some more complex projects if I start to get playback problems that reducing the physical size of the monitor window within the program sometimes helps, so I assume that there is more processing going on with producing the rescaled image in that monitor. In the past some of us have also noticed that with tower cases at least, running the main program window within the Intel powered monitor seems to be more favourable over running the program on the nvidia one.

There are so many variables to take into account when wondering why an apparently more powerful system is giving what on the surface may seem poorer results I think it prudent to try to think of as many reasons as possible to account for the variations.

Ray, for sure about what you are saying. There are many variables to this including what is running in the background of your computer when testing.

Looking at the results, it seems that 9th and 10th Intel seem to be getting the best scores. At least we are starting to be a metric on performance of hardware.

What about the impact of codec packs ???  Do you have any installed ?

I don't use them because of bad experiences in previous years.

Hi.

I lost the ability to view thumbnails of mp4 files so I did add the K-Light mp4 codec. Doesn't seem to have caused any problems for me.

Hi

. . . . What about the impact of codec packs . . . .

I am with you on this one, I avoid, and advise not to install, the 'all in one' packs which have been known to cause issues with the the Magix codecs.

@CubeAce use, for fixing the thumbnail issue, is a peculiar situation which is known to hit some users for an unspecified reason.

@Marc-Goder, some how, my Win10 Pro all of a sudden stopped showing thumbnails. I did everything that was necessary according to Windows help, reddit, videos, etc., (deleting cache, etc..), to no avail. This made working with photos and video unbearable because without I thumbnail, there is no way for me to know what the file represents.

So, I tried K-Lite basic, and all the thumbnails appeared. Life was good again. It caused for me, no issues at all with any of the editing software I have on my computer. Resolve Studio 18, Vegas Pro 20, Pinnacle Studio 26 Ultimate, Videostudio Pro Ultimate 2022, MEP 2022 Plus, VPX 12 all worked with the files I shoot and edit. I did not notice any abnormalities, performance degradation, etc., after installing K-Lite. It was a "last resort" for me.

I have since migrated over to a clean installation on a new NVME drive of Win11 Pro, and no longer have that problem. So, for me, no, I do not have any additional codecs installed.

This would probably only result in performance problems when playing on the timeline. Probably less when exporting.

@johnebaker @Marc-Goder @Reyfox @MarcinKrk

The lack of mp4 thumbnail view happened to me after I suffered a crash using VPX 14.

Having the Resizeable BAR enabled made zero difference.

I feel the same about the Neat benchmark. There appears Resizable BAR also make no difference.

Hi Marc.

There are a lot of variables to take into consideration for the results across these computers.

Al used one monitor plugged into the motherboard port. What type of port was it?

Al is using an Intel i7 13700K with a 3060ti which has a 256 bit PCIe bus with 8GBs of vram while some others (including myself) are using cards that only have a 192 bit bus and less vram.

If Al is plugged only into the motherboard video port (again not sure what type of port that is) how is the nvidia card being activated?

Did Al try using a port on the nvidia card? If that was slower, by how much and again which port?

Could monitors also play a part in in this? Resolution, refresh rate, port at the back of the monitor?

It was a very good result regardless.

Al should run the Neat Video test separately to see what that program decides is the best configuration (how many cores etc to use) and the amount of fps it can handle at which resolution.

To make use of resizeable bar it is my understanding one would have to see if Intel® Quick Sync Video was available in the drop-down boxes of the program. It is that technology that make use of resizeable bar as far as I understand it.
