What are typical scores for benchmark in Contextcapture for different GPU cards? Does GPU RAM size influence much?
Benchmark scores can be checked in Contextcapture Settings->Configuration->Start Benchmark
My compiled list:
Also there seems there is no linear correlation with benchmark scores regarding processing time. For example on same machine GTX 650 Ti processes sample model 5 hours while GTX 980 Ti processes it at 3 hours while benchmark scores differ 7 times performance is only 2 times. General Contextcapture System Requirements:Minimum HardwareIt requires at least 8 GB of RAM and NVIDIA or AMD graphics card, or Intel-integrated graphics processor compatible with OpenGL 3.2 with at least 1 GB of dedicated memory.
For specific Annotation jobs leveraging artificial intelligence, minimum GPU requirement are higher. A 4.0GB NVIDIA device with up-to-date drivers is the minimum.
Recommended HardwareAs of January 2020, the following configuration is recommended: a recent desktop computer running under Microsoft Windows 8/10 64-bit with 64 GB of RAM, an 8+core i9-CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card. Input, working and output data should preferably be stored on fast storage devices (fast HDD, SSD, SAN). For file sharing, we recommend a >1-Gigabit Ethernet network.
Please post your scores!
Not sure my contribution is of any use. Anyway here it is.
I use a rather old omputer, with I7 6700 CPU and GTX Titan X(12Gb) card. Benchmark score is 143.However, I want to stress the fact that CPU (and not GPU) is used quite intensively in some parts of the processing ; for example AT uses almost only CPU, which then runs at 100% according to the task manager.When producing tiles, GPU becomes more important, but the CPU still works at 100% quite often.I intend to replace this computer with a new one, and I'm not sure If I should put the money on CPU or GPU card.
CPU is more important as if there are issues in aerotriangulation then solving them fast is more important than model production which is left to run until complete. Or if you have fast inet connection then CC cloud could be an option to not spend money on another machine or license.
