By the time you buy a larger case and that GPU, you would be better off with buying an i5-8500 off ebay and just running the CPU version.
Around the time AI was introduced in BI, many here had their system become unstable with hardware acceleration on (even if not using DeepStack or CodeProject). Some have also been fine. I started to see that error when I was using hardware acceleration several updates into when AI was added.
This hits everyone at a different point. Some had their system go wonky immediately, some it was after a specific update, and some still don't have a problem, but the trend is showing running hardware acceleration will result in a problem at some point.
However, with substreams being introduced, the CPU% needed to offload video to a GPU (internal or external) is more than the CPU% savings seen by offloading to a GPU. Especially after about 12 cameras, the CPU goes up by using hardware acceleration.
My CPU % went down by not using hardware acceleration.
But if you use HA, use plain intel and not the variants.
Here is a recent thread where someone turned off hardware acceleration based on my post and their CPU dropped 10-15%.
When I open the Windows Application BI takes a very long time to load and then eventually would hang up after it completes loading. However the webserver works just fine if I leave it alone. I've restore my entire system to previous dates with no luck. Reset BI to default and without any old...
