I got avx working on my i7 8700 but I had to enable some options in the bios like Hyperthreading and Trusted execution.Virtualization was already enabled . I don't know which option got it to work. But I still get the little boxes when starting deepquest. However I ran it overnight and it is still working. So maybe a red herring. My CPU is very low like 4-7% now and when processing max 25% but I only run 3 cams 1 4K and 2 2MP. However even with the low cpu load my times in deepquest is 800ms to 1.6 secs. I tried lowering the resolution in BI from 100% to 50% but only a small difference. I don't have the res change in BI yet. Everything running on a Dell Optiplex 7060 i 7 8700
With avx or with GPU, mine works for a few hours (maybe a day), but when I have those boxes it basically crashes at some point and the AITool gets errors saying it can't send the pics to Deepstack even though deepstack if activated.
I'm using the noavx version and so far so good the last couple of days.
Processing time per image is around 1.2 seconds or so, not sure if that's good or not. Was about half that with the GPU selection, and if I recall, about the same when I used the standard version (not the "noavx") version.
