Hardware acceleration in auto mode

Samoreen
Hi,

Having set hardware acceleration to "auto", how do I determine whether hardware acceleration and OpenCL are on ?

Thanks.

    Do you see a significant change in performance (in either direction)?

    With regards to your OpenCL init, let's try and delete your OpenCL kernels:
    - if CO is running, shut it down.
    - Go here: C:\ProgramData\Phase One\Capture One\ImageCore
    - Delete everything in the folder
    - Install the newest nvidia driver and reboot.
    - Start Capture One and wait X times 5 minutes, where X is the number of graphics cards you have installed in your machine.
    - Confirm Auto setting in CO Preferences for both display and preocessing.
    - Click on a Bayer-type raw-file (no x-trans, s/m-raw, jpeg, tiff etc), and reset all adjustments
    - Enable Focus Mask
    - If the focus mask disappears during active adjusting, OpenCL is running."

    That's an interesting guide.

    I have Windows 7 and a widget running that monitors the GPU activity for my not very powerful Quadro notebook GPU.

    For a long time it registered almost nothing - no more than some tiny use by Windows or something - maybe 2% on start up and perhaps 3 or 4% at most doing anything else.

    Then, somewhere around C1 V9.1 or 9.2, things started to work and I might see 15 to 20% Memory usage and another 15% if I had a second session running.

    When I trialed V10 - back to nothing. (3-4% just being recognised basically)

    Run V9 - 15%

    Run V10 - nothing.

    In BOTH versions checking for the disappearance of the Focus Mask ... nope, it stays displayed.

    My V10 Beta/Trial has expired so I am back with V9.3 for now.

    I have just followed the instructions above and deleted the contents of the Imgcore folder. I did not check for a new driver - I did that 2 weeks ago - nor re-boot windows. But I did re-start C12 V9.3.

    The Monitor widget showed 4% memory use. The Imgcore files were not regenerated. If that is a Windows re-boot activity ... not something I want to do right now - I have other things running.

    I re-instated the Imgcore folder files and the monitor widget is none back to 15 - 17% with C1 V9.3 running.

    Still no way I can get the Focus Mask display to vanish when adjusting.

    On the basis of my testing the visibility of the Focus Mask does not seem to be a useful indicator for my system.

    Can you you post a few more details about your GPU ?
    What do you see in this file: C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Local\CaptureOne\Logs\ImgCoreOCL.log ?

    This is running 9.3.

    I have the NVidia control panel set to use the Quadro for the C1 V9.3 Executable. The V10 executable was set the same way during the trial period.

    My open C1 V9.3 Session is currently reporting about 12% of the 2GB available memory allocated . (It shows 15% used but the base level without C1 running is 3 to 4% ) So far as I can tell the number reported do change with C1 activity suggesting the GPU is being employed.

    I have a case open - not much chance to check anything more without a running V10.

    I did report this in beta but only spotted the problem right as the end of the beta process and the release had already been frozen.

    This current situation could be something different of course ...

    Does this help?
