Well, I noticed that BI was pegging around 25 - 30% on my main PC (an I5). I can run BI when I play FO4, but FO4 starts playing the heavy lag game after a bit.

So I started looking longingly over at my old rig, an old I3. I had just recently updated it to Win7 Pro 32bit up from XP. Thought I would give my wife something to play around on. But she just ignores it in favor of her tablet so she can sit in her chair in the living room and play games. Go figure. **shrugs**

So there it sits all cleaned up and redone fresh. I glance at the pull on my I5 and figure what they heck, I wish I may I wish I might.

Installed BI on it. Check direct to use Intel Hardware. One at a time I loaded up the cameras. 4 - Reolink RCL-410's, 1 Reolink RCL-410WS, and 1 Altop. All 6 cams running at just 720P, record direct to disk on all of them.

ARG! Major fail. PC red lining 90-95%, and that is recording and everything disabled. Just viewing the cameras.

Oh well, it was wishful thinking. :P
 
@w1zofaz If you are running in demo mode then D2D is not working...What model i3? The iX designation is meaningless without a specific model because of the various designs and generations.
 
also, hardware acceleration tends to not work if you also have another video card (external GPU) in the chassis. if so, try removing it...
 
Whoops! I thought it was an i3.

Just ran Belarc Advisor and it tells me different.

Running an 2.60ghz AMD Phenom II X3 710
Just 3GB of RAM due to it being a 32bit system
yup, have a NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT vid card.

So I do not think the old pc has a snowballs chance in hell running BI with 6 cameras. lol
 
It might be able to run them at 720...though its going to be a huge power hog...you are better off buying an i5-4590 for 300.
 
My end game is having around 10 cameras running at 1080p. Just going to have to put it together after this starting investment one part at a time now. But need a better PC so I can switch everything over to it. Will the I5-4590 run that many at that resolution?

The i5 will run it, but it will depend on your settings (frame rates, constant recording etc)..if you end goal is 10 cams, then get an i7 (haswell or skylake only) you may need the extra horsepower at some point.
