I will be more than happy to upgrade to Studio but only if it supports any GPU functionality on my system. But I believe that hardware supported video decoding during playback could help even with such old GPU. Would the Studio version of DR17 bring any change? And use GPU decoding for playback? Sometimes playback of simple HD 1080p videos is not fluent - often saving and reopening the project can fix this issue. The system (DR17 + Dell M6800 i7) is now exceptionally stable and the only one point it lacks is that it leaves the NVidia K3100M GPU useless. My free version od DR17 recognizes this GPU, only there is no possibility to choose CUDA on preferences tab. I know my GPU is too slow and too old for the newest CUDA rendering, but i think it could handle any decoding/encoding work without any hesitation.
And here comes the question: knowing that rendering with such outdated GPU is not supported, will any GPU hardware playback decoding/encoding be supported if I switch to Resolve Studio?
I expected that because BM announced clearly that DR17 will not support GPU's with computing power lower than 3,5 (my NVidia Quadro K3100M has 3.0 ). Also, aperture diffraction in DaVinci Resolve Studio has new anamorphic aperture controls, allowing a wider range of lenses to be emulated.I have just upgraded DR to 17 and - as I expected - my GPU is now working at idle nevermind what I do in DR (decode, encode, edit, render etc.). Keyer garbage mattes now have rotation controls, making it easier to remove unwanted items from view, and new saturation and gamma controls on the glow plugin allow greater control and subtlety over lighting effects. Meanwhile, new FX controls have been added, including new grid shapes and greater precision when using mosaic blur, allowing users to finely adjust the amount and appearance of pixellation. DaVinci Resolve now also decodes AVC Intra files using the media engine built into the Apple M1 chip, making decoding and playback faster when working with these file formats. It's now possible to prioritize speed or quality when rendering, with render times potentially improved by up to 65%. In addition, version 17.3 supports a new option on Mac computers with M1 for H.265 hardware encoding. The new processing engine also uses tile based rendering, which can give users on notebooks up to 30% longer battery when working in DaVinci Resolve. The speed increase should make playback, editing, and grading of 4K and 8K projects faster using the software. Thanks to the completely reworked engine, DaVinci Resolve 17.3 can work up to 3 times faster on Apple Mac models with the M1 chip, according to the company.
