Just an update:
BI5 is working great on the i7 optiplex 7060 I put it on temporarly
I finally obtained a optiplex 7070 SFF w/ 9th gen i-9-9900 cpu, 32gb ram
can't wait to swap it on to that machine, it should hopefully scream away on it..
It seems my xeon CPU was the issue... I am running at about 25-30% cpu now with quicksync enabled, limit decoding DISABLED and the console closed. If I open the console and leave it at the default fps preview rate, it tanks the CPU very quickly... but no one will access the local console, so...
I really appreciate all the advice! I'm moving the installation over to a spare machine I had laying around until I get a new one in... this one has an 8th gen i7...so I'll give it a shot and report back shortly!
Yes the direct to disk thing did get me, but unfortunatly didn't help the CPU... the hardware decode didn't either but now I see above my cpu isn't compat
I think I will replace the server, but I also saw that the x series I9 I was looking at doesn't support quicksync... or a lot of the xeons as stated below.. what's my best bet? a 9th gen I9?
No monitor or anything, we use RDP to adjust server settings but otherwise just users using the mobile...
I've tried just about everything, I cannot get my system to run smoothly since upgrading to BI5's later builds (say a month or two ago).... The only thing I have found to get my CPU manageable is to check "limit decoding unless required" on every camera... otherwise my CPU spikes to 100% and is...
