HI !

for low cost machine.... what is best ?

( all socket 2011 )

I7 quadcore 3.6 ghz ? or Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2670 8 Octocore HT cpu ? or .... dual xeon of those ?

http://ark.intel.com/pro...0-GHz-8_00-GTs-Intel-QPI

with a 960 or 970 GTX 4 gigs of ram doing up to 8 HD Cameras

Best Regards ,

If you are going to use NDI then the Xeon you quoted does not support SSE4.1/4.2, AVX 2.0 but only AVX and no SSE. NDI minimum spec requires SSE 3 and AVX.

Which I7 processor are you considering?

Core i7-4960X i already have it . it works but.... considering testing this powerfull cheap xeon :)

as you can see on the specs... this xeon has all the SSE´s ... :)

The 4960 is a nice CPU. I believe it is 6 core, not 4. I have a system built around the 6-core 3930 and a GTX 970 that handles 4 HD signals flawlessly. Can't comment on more than that.

I'm running a xeon E5-1660 6 core @4ghz with a GTX970 with a BMD quad 2 and that works flawlessly with 8 HD inputs. I think it can even do more because without streaming or recording, the cpu usage is very low and render times are below 10ms.
When you want to multicorder while streaming and recording plus use NDI, more cores is always better, but you do not need newest hardware.
I think a 40 lane 2011 board with 40 lane CPU with a clock speed of 3 ghz or higher together with a Nvidia GTX960 or better, is a good foundation for a vmix system.
Please bear in mind that 2011-v1/2 cpu's are quite cheap, but the mainboards are not. Also the mainboards are not easy available because they are very much wanted.
If you build new, I would go with 2011-v3.

I'm all fan of xeons. Can't beat the price of the xeon e5 2620 for example. It's in one of my rigs and never touches 50% on 7-8 HD inputs, while recording and streaming at the same time.

I now built 2 systems with a 10 core Xeon E5-2630 v4 and a nvidia 1080 graphic card, with 8 HD inputs and 1 4k input it doesn't even touch 15% cpu load.

My opinion is that you pay a lot of extra's for clockspeed in the i7 range, while actually you need more cores.

What did you go with in the end, and how did it run for you?

HI !

vMix on a Z600 dual exacore xeon X5670
GTX 960 4 gigs of ram
magewell quad hdmi 4 cameras on.

triple stream : Wowza - facebook - Periscope
recording Vc3 mxf final master
stereotool vst audio processing on virtual cable before vmix audio input
logo overlay...

total machine cpu used : 24%
audio processing eats 10% of it

Sick info! Are you doing any multicorder stuff too? Do you ever see it go higher than 24%?

Alguém ajuda ?
Estou com o KIT X99 Palca Mãe Atermiter(Chinesa), Processador Xeon 2620 v3,
Placa de video 1050 ti 4gb

Quando coloco a camera e clico no PTZ pra dar zoom dentro do programa, fica piscando ou
quando vou fazer choma key pelo programa, acontece o mesmo, piscando, alguém, sabe me informar
se esse kit tem algum problema com o VMIX.
Obrigado pela atenção!
