I've got a number of vMix machines and wondered if there's any issue with them that might result in the renderer dropping frames on external outs.

Threadripper 3945WX / 128GB / 3080 (haven't enabled rebar, High performance mode)
GPU Mem <20%, low render times, 85C GPU temp

9800X3D / 5080 / 32GB / X870E ROG (rebar enabled, high performance disabled)
GPU Mem <5%, low render times, <40C GPU temp

5800X3D / 4070S / 32GB / X570 ProArt (rebar enabled, high performance disabled)
GPU Mem <5%, low render times, <40C GPU temp

Nvidia high power, windows graphics high performance, windows power high performance. Up to date drivers (Nvidia, Chipset, BMD)

I've not updated the BIOS on any of these... (The P620 could do with an update so I can enable rebar), the other boards are newer but not sure if that will help.

I have BMD duo cards in these...

25p project
2x inputs @ 25p
replay channels A&B mapped tout 2x outputs @ 25p (just inputs 1&2 delayed 30mins)


Sources don't seem to drop frames but the renderer does.

I haven't referenced the BMD cards... is this likely to prevent dropped frames?

Any suggestions would be GREAT!

UPDATE:

I updated the Bios on the Threadripper machine and rebar is now enabled, GPU memory is @ 1%

Experiencing 0 source dropped frames, but still a handful of renderer dropped frames.

That said, I had the record train drop about 7seconds of recording - this then appeared in the record 30minutes later. (DIdn't notice as it the input would have been on a freeze and I'm monitoring a number of vMix machines)

GPU is @ 67% and might have been 65% in the first post (am quite far from the screen and obviously have great eyesight!)

****

Updated the bios on the X870E motherboard and still experiencing source dropped frames & renderer dropped frames.

Running version 15 of BMD Desktop Video

Running 28.0.0.43 vMix software

A fellow vMix nerd contacted me to say he'd also experienced a similar drop to the Threadripper machine, but was across both the BMD inputs and BMD outputs (Decklink Quad 2)
