Any tips for passing through the graphics hardware? I'm using Virtualisation Station on a QNAP. EDIT: I think I've found a resource! https://www.qnap.com/en/how-to/tutorial/article/how-to-set-up-and-use-gpu-pass-through-in-virtualization-station-3

You weren't kidding about substreams. Curiosity got the better of me and I hooked up a couple of cams and installed Blue Iris on my main workstation (16 core Threadripper). Just to have a play before I setup a Windows VM on my NAS. A couple of 8mp cameras initially had the cpu usage at 14%...

They do... Interesting you are running BI on VMs... I believed I couldn't do that because I would need bare metal performance. Makes me want to test things out with a VM on my QNAP. Its CPU isn't too shabby.

Thanks! Sounds like Intel is the better option unless you already have a ryzen box lying around begging to be of service.

Hi everyone, Reading the excellent resource for picking a cpu that will perform well for Blue Iris, the one big thing missing was AMD. 100% of the cpus recommended in the resource are Intel cpus. My guess is this is an omission, rather than a reflection of AMD cpus being incapable of running...

I'll report back.

Hello all... Wondering if anyone has tried this. The specs of the cpu ( Intel® Core™ i7-4980HQ Processor (6M Cache, up to 4.00 GHz) Product Specifications ) seem to stack up very favourably compared to one of the recommended cpus ( Intel Core i5-6500 ). It has Quicksync and of course...

Indeed. My bad - didn't notice the google result that came up was from aliexpress, so of course dubious...

First post here... just preparing to get set up with my first ipcam system. I'm also preparing to set things up to be independent from the power grid with solar, so energy efficiency has become a real focus. For a machine that is on 24/7, year in year out, an SSD presents some advantages beyond...
