DGIndexNV 251 not working

[jpsdr]

A week+ for an encode! Is that a Pentium 3? Using HDDs? Placebo?

It's a 10 cores (with HT => 20 logicals) Broadwell with a little overclocking (3GHZ -> 3,8GHz, and DDR4 higher, 3200 (or 2300... 2400), don't remember precisely, i'm in break at work).
I'm not using placebo, but a 3 pass encode (i'm targetting VBR not CRF) with high enough settings.
First pass is around 0.7fps to 1.0fps.
Second pass is around 0.5fps.
Third pass is around 0.6fps to 0.7fps.
Each pass has increased quality parameters, but last pass uses data informations from previous pass, wich increase the speed (otherwised it would be 0.5fps or even a little less).

When targetting Blu-Ray or HW Player devices with 1080p x264 i'm using placebo (+ Blu-Ray specific or DVXA specific), also 3 passes, it takes less than a day in this case. I start the evening, the tomorrow evening when back from work, it's finished.
But 4k with x265... Another speed, and with "less quality" than my x264 settings, because with my x264 settings on x265 4k, i'm around 0.05fps - 0.1fps.
Even if i'm a "quality crazy", one month for a movie begin to be a little excessive...
So for 4k/x265 i had to reduce my quality level.

detective Mike on the case, i interrogated Bard and extracted this information

please list all gpu that suport CUDA 11.7 in a text format

GPUs Supporting CUDA 11.7 in Text Format:
Ampere Architecture:

GA100
GA102
GA104

Turing Architecture:

TU102
TU104
Pascal Architecture:

GP100
GP102

Volta Architecture:

GV100
Note:

This list excludes some mobile and workstation GPUs.
Some older GPUs on this list may have limited support for CUDA 11.7 features.
It is recommended to check the specific documentation for your GPU model to confirm full compatibility.

is Maxwell GPUs not suported
That's correct! Unfortunately, Maxwell GPUs are not officially supported by CUDA 11.7. This means that while some newer GM204 models might have limited compatibility with certain features, older GM200 models generally lack complete support due to the introduction of newer features and instructions in CUDA 11.7.

Here's a breakdown of the compatibility:

GM204 Maxwell (newer generation):

May have limited support for specific CUDA 11.7 features, but performance might not be optimized.
It's crucial to check the exact model and its documentation for precise compatibility details.
GM200 Maxwell (older generation):

Generally do not support CUDA 11.7 or its features.
Attempting to run CUDA 11.7 applications on GM200 will likely result in errors or incompatible kernel issues.

what architect was the 1060
The NVIDIA GTX 1060 is powered by the Pascal architecture, specifically the GP106 microarchitecture. Released in July 2016, Pascal succeeded the Maxwell architecture and offered significant improvements in performance, efficiency, and features compared to its predecessor.

Here are some key points about the GTX 1060 and the Pascal architecture:

Performance: The GP106 chip offered better performance per watt compared to Maxwell GPUs, meaning the GTX 1060 delivered smoother gameplay and faster processing at lower power consumption.
Efficiency: Pascal featured a more efficient design, leading to lower power consumption and less heat generation, making it a cooler and quieter option for users.
Features: Pascal introduced new features like improved memory compression and HDR support, which were not available on Maxwell GPUs.
The GTX 1060, especially the 6GB version, was a popular mid-range GPU for years due to its excellent price-to-performance ratio. It could handle most games at high settings and resolutions, making it a great choice for budget-conscious gamers and content creators.

I hope this clarifies the architecture used in the GTX 1060! Feel free to ask if you have any other questions about GPUs or tech in general.


does the gp106 suport CUDA 11.7

No, the NVIDIA GTX 1060, powered by the GP106 Pascal architecture, does not officially support CUDA 11.7. While some newer Turing and Ampere architecture GPUs offer backward compatibility with older CUDA versions, Pascal GPUs like the GP106 are officially limited to CUDA 11.6.

Thank you, Detective Mike, and welcome to the forum. That is quite interesting. Do you have links for that stuff? I'd like to follow up on it. Also, what do you mean by "text format"?

He he, maybe we can go to CUDA 11.6.

EDIT: I found this useful link:

https://gist.github.com/standaloneSA/99 ... 8b36ad5acf

However, it says 1060 is CUDA 8+, so that contradicts the info posted: "No, the NVIDIA GTX 1060, powered by the GP106 Pascal architecture, does not officially support CUDA 11.7."

Our problem for moving forward is the lack of consistent, reliable information.

[Mike2002uk]

Thanks for the welcome , it was spitting out pictures, so for a forum post i asked for text only

unfortunately i don't have links

and yes i now tells me gp106 is supported

darn we cant trust AI

[Bullwinkle]

That AI bot crap is just the latest mind control tactic from the man. Who can doubt the almighty AI bot? The very definition of truth and righteousness.

[Britney]

I know, right. Like now instead of religion we have AI.

Mike, you sound pretty smart. Wanna hang out?

[Mike2002uk]

lol , its funny it contradicts its self if you question its answer , hmm looks like bard isnt rueler ready yet

anyway ill let the thread get back on topic

[Curly]

yer good Mike my hero

that crapola aint ready for the big time
believe me i know about big time
if u cant do the crime...

[Natasha]

just the Hollywood witch hunt anti-commie nonsense
dont worry

[Wonder Woman]

I told Officer DoRight about Mike. He wants to know, can Mike ride a horse?

[Curly]

[Britney]

did u see the frog in there
what's up with that?
girls wanna know

[Curly]

if it tastes good in butter

[Britney]

for sure got ya

[jpsdr]

Hi.
My encode is finished, i've been able to test, this new release works for me, thanks.

[Rocky]

You're welcome, JP, and thank you for the follow-up. I hope your encode turned out good.

Please correct me if I should have posted a new thread, but I thought this one might be more appropriate. I've been running fine since I started in 2014. The last version I got was 2053 (same license) in 2016 (always 32-bit, though I have 64-bit Win 10 since around that time).

I was running fine this morning (both .exe and .dll), but needed to add a feature that requires Avisynth+. I have Avisynth+ on a different machine but I'd never upgraded THIS PC beyond Avisynth 2.60. In the process of upgrading to +, I have broken my DGIndexNV environment! I had discovered a few months ago that you kindly dropped the licensing on newer versions. But my licensed one was working fine so "why fix what ain't broke", so they say. Well, I broke mine such that my license is no good even with the old 2052 (2052 on one PC, 2053 on the other).

By downloading from the newest binaries (zip) backwards in time, I discovered that 251 was the last with x32 included. I've tried both 250 and 251 and they get "ERROR: JIT compilation failed." When I try to open the .mp4 in DGIndexNV (which I did successfully earlier today with the old 205x version), the program simply disappears after a few seconds.

My graphic card has been old but working very well, Nvidia Gforce 210.

I can't go to Avisynth 64-bit; I have to stick with 32-bit. And I can't get a new card. I'd be happy to resume using my licensed version, but don't know how to re-set-up the license. Can someone kindly help me either get a free version working OR help me figure out how to restore the license mechanism?? I do have a license running on my other Avisynth+ PC successfully.

(Again, if I should have started a new thread, tell me and I'll move this post to a new thread.)

UPDATE: I successfully figured out the licensing mechanism enough to get my licensed DGIndexNV 2052 to load up and run! However, my script gives the error message "Script error: There is no function named 'DGSource'". My AVS hasn't changed. I did recreate the .dgi file. DGDecodeNV.dll IS in the plugins folder. If DGSource is within the dll, why can't it be found??

UPDATE2: Using AVSMeter I discovered that the plugins folders had not be "set up". (I didn't run the installer for Avisynth+, thinking I didn't need to.) Now DGSource() opens as normal. But I'd still like to be able to use the non-licensed version 250, etc., please?

[Rocky]

The newer versions require a newer GPU. For example, they require late versions of the GPU driver, which will not run on a 210. It's time for you to move to a more recent card and upgrade to 64-bit. Otherwise, you are stuck on 2053.
