Does it still require discrete graphics on Linux? It's been a very weird requirement from day one.
- capableweb 5y agoMost of the heavy tools in the suite depend on GPU functionality, this release seems to introduce even more tools that are GPU-based. It's not that weird that it would require a discrete GPU, your entire computer would probably grind to a halt if both the compositor of your OS + Resolve has to share a non-discrete GPU.
- emptysongglass 5y agoAll of the other editors manage to be available for integrated GPU chipsets: Premiere, Lightworks, Kdenlive, Final Cut, shall I go on? So yes, it's very weird.
- capableweb 5y agoYes, and none of them perform as well as Resolve just because they are much worse at offload heavy work to the GPU. Resolve is really revolutionizing the amount of video editing work at the GPU level. Premiere can barely handle 4K footage (without having to resolve to using proxies) without stutter, even on powerful hardware. By the way, DaVinci has always been focused on integrating well with powerful hardware, and they have been relatively unique with this position. Going all the way back to when it used to use InfiniBand for doing parallel processing.
