[News] NVIDIA beats AMD with real-time 8K video editing

AMD's demo of the Radeon Pro SSG was stuttering in front of our eyes, with the AMD representative saying that the Radeon Pro SSG was an early prototype board - understandable. But then he added that the 2TB SSD needs to have its cache cleared "every hour or so" as it "fills up". Hmm, OK - weird... why not just clear it and show us 8K editing in real-time, as the sign next to AMD's system said. Then on top of that, AMD said that the drivers weren't polished yet, another reason for the stuttering and no real-time 8K video playback at 24FPS. AMD's demo was dropping into the 14-15FPS mark, and given those excuses... NVIDIA's graphics prowess is a testament to their hardware handling next-gen 8K video editing. NVIDIA's current-gen Quadro P6000 is available right here, right now, and handles 8K video editing and playback in real-time.

Yeah but can they compress 3D video with a weissman score of 5.2?

LTT showed that the p600 or titan xp could not do 8k raw ether, and there was a need for sensor compression before it went to the gpu.

Yuv422 @25fps I wouldn't call that very impressive...
It's a start though.

Raw is usually rgb24 when being processed.
Not always though, it depends on your process, filters etc.
Sometimes if you have a good setup process that can handle yuv color formats, you can skip the conversion to rgb and back.
422 I would only use for tv (ntsc/pal), dvd's, and low quality bdr's (1080p).
For 4k uhd hdr bdr's, I would HAVE to use 444 format, or plain rgb24.
At 29.97 fps, I would never use 25fps, to much conversion and processing needed to strip dupe frames and deinterlacing, etc.
Some formats are now using 59.97 fps...

Raw formats don't use any gpu...
There is no decoding to be done other then color formats.
The gpu can't encode using raw either, unless something changed recently.
It's always simple crappy useless profiles used for disks, so they can be played back using set top players.
Raw uses alot of cpu, it would be nice if you could use the gpu.
But at 25fps, completely useless.
The whole idea is to make it faster then a cpu.
Ie 200fps.
Otherwise what is the darned point...

Edit:
Just noticed the format is VUY ...
Completely 99% useless...
I just wanna say wtf...
Whatever ^^

raw with red files use the gpu with cuda or other gpgpu systems.
