    AMD Versus Intel

    If you bought i7-8700 with B360 MB, then it would be cheaper than AMD, and probably still better.

    Lag during playback - exported clips are fine

    Not that it should matter in your case, but there is no reason to not have the DB on the SSD. You could try to move one clip to the SSD (as AUX folder) and then play it back, then you would see if it is because of your HDD.

    YouTube Live Stream BI Encoder

    Oh, you stream directly from BI, interesting, I always used X-Split which really sucked. Can you post an image of your Webcast Encoder options? My own stream crashes every few seconds.

    Refresh in BI? You mean restart? Sounds like a shit camera or packet loss, what model is that?

    Blue Iris behavior with bad WD Purple drive

    My old SSD started randomly freezing for 20s and showing 100% active time. New SATA cable fixed it, or maybe it was a new firmware that fixed it, dunno.

    Help CPU is maxed out!

    I just gave you the explanation. CPU usage number is a lie.

    Help CPU is maxed out!

    I am not talking about virtualization, but about hyper-threading. OS has no way of determining the real CPU usage, it thinks that you have 2x more cores, but what you have is 2x more logical cores/threads, which does not mean 2x better performance - it is more like 20% better.

    Of course it halved, i7 has virtual cores, but that means nothing.

    DEAD Small Sized SSD- Word of Caution

    Well, this is a top SSD. And it probably shuffles data around, so it is more like 60 rewrites, which is nothing.

    Double CPU usage with HW acceleration - only while using NVIDIA GPU

    There is no way to know. Install it and try it. A friend was able to use both graphics even on the cheapest MB.

    What's the improvement with hyperthreading?

    It lowers CPU usage in half, so people are happy, but that does not mean that it handles twice as much. It is really hard to say how much better it is because there is no way to benchmark it. Generally, it is highly dependant on the task, it might be 20% for video decoding but if you start...

    Double CPU usage with HW acceleration - only while using NVIDIA GPU

    I figured it out. My MB supports running both GPUs, but there must be a monitor connected to the iGPU when BI is started. It does not matter if the monitor is turned off, but Windows must be extending the desktop to it. It is also possible to enable/disable the monitor and then restart cameras...

    Double CPU usage with HW acceleration - only while using NVIDIA GPU

    I wanted to play some games (and be a little bit warmer in the winter :) ), so I connected my old GTX 770 and BI suddenly started eating way more CPU. I am not entirely sure but I think it behaved fine last week before I removed the GPU, also I read here that a dedicated GPU should lower the...

    Help CPU is maxed out!

    Blue Iris Update Helper - it has currently broken certificate, so some browsers might not let you in I would guess that Demo might use 2x more CPU than HW accelerated full version.

    DEAD Small Sized SSD- Word of Caution

    There are huge differences between SSDs, so which model was it? But yes, recording to a small SSD is a bad idea.

    Playback with HW acceleration gets corrupted

    Some recordings always get corrupted at some particular place, and the only thing that fixes it is to play another file - moving in the current file does not help. Playback from web seems to work, disabling HW acceleration makes it go away even for previous recordings. There might be some...

    Help CPU is maxed out!

    I don't see how could a demo cause 100% usage on i9, that's nonsense. @jambajuiceWhy don't you write some details about the cameras? And have you tried to enable them one by one?

    Is a USB3 drive as good as directly installing one?

    I personally use SSD only for software and BI's database, but if Anandtech is right and Samsung 500GB 850 EVO has 2000 NAND P/E Cycles (PRO has 6000) then it should theoretically last 500*2000*1000/3600/24/365/5 = ~6 years for 5 MB/s of writes, but practically it could be perhaps 10x more as...

    Change recording location to NAS

    I have been recording to NAS for ~2,5 years. The performance is not that good, but the only real problem is packet loss - at least for me as I use 130m long cat5e cable (the standard allows only 100m), which not every switch can handle somehow reliably while using 1Gbps. The best for me would to...

    AMD Versus Intel

    I have 4500-5500kB/s, 350MP/s and VideoPostproc saves me total CPU from 30% to 20% on i5-3570k@3,7GHz. So not sure if I qualify for high bitrate throughput.

    AMD Versus Intel

    Have you tried the third option of HW acceleration: " Yes+VideoPostproc"? I found that it lowers the total CPU consumption even lower (must also count kernel time for this, as it is half of the total usage). Not sure what are the disadvantages, but if I remember correctly that option did not...

    Daytime vs. Nightime CPU usage quite different - anyone else notice this?

    There is "Cameras" tab in Blue Iris's Status window, which shows you bitrate for each camera and the sum.

    Don't look at MP/s, look at kB/s.

    Daytime vs. Nightime CPU usage quite different - anyone else notice this?

    The higher CPU usage is probably due to higher bandwidth, caused by a noise due to low visibility in the night. You probably use "variable bitrate" on your cameras, which can use 50 kB/s during the day when nothing moves and 800 kB/s during the night when everything moves because of the noise.

    KB4056892 and Blue Iris - be prepared for higher CPU usage
