Speed Macpro late 2013 coding HEVC ?

[diloume]

Hi,

I like to know if handbrake uses d700 graphics cards in the latest MacPro late 2013 if we encode to H265 format?

Thank for answer...

No.

Rather sad , is the speed coding with a Xeon 2697 good ?

Never tried it myself. This may be useful: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/CPU/1061

Multiply by e.g. 4.5 for 1080p encoding speed. I have no clue what settings they're using though.

Thank you for the info. Version 3 of 2697 is still 20% faster than version 2 ,
I do not understand why Apple does not do an update of its machines.

With release 10, there seems to be OpenCL support - at least on Windows... Any strategic info available on if/when OpenCL support will be enabled for MacOS and therefore our really, really bored D700 GPUs? I mean, it's fun watching 12 CPU cores run at 80-90% utilization with a 35-50 fps H.265 encode... but this could be better... lots better...

Only for scaling, not encoding. It's not really that useful.

What makes you think it could be better? Everyone is moving away from GPU encoding and onto ASIC based hardware. Ie QuickSync, NVenc, VCE etc.

Just our scaling code, takes around 40% of the GPU for a maximum of around 5~6% gains. Add x264 OpenCl into the mix and you max out a GPU for very small gains and in fact it's much slower in some cases.
