Post by terui »

Hello

My new project is 48 Artnet Universes use.
480ch (RGBW LED x 120 fixtures) par Universe.
Total 23040ch (5760 fixtures).

Now I make test show in Suite2.
But My computer is very slow and many time "(Not Responding)" x(

Official FAQ's page write
>>Recommended computer requirements:
>>- PC Computer working under Windows 7
>>- 2 Ghz speed processor, dual core
>>- 1 Gb Memory (RAM)
>>- Video card supporting Microsoft Direct 3D with 256 Mb Memory
>>- 1280*768 pixel screen

My Computer's spec is
Windows 10 home
Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4Ghz 4Core
16GB Memory
Video card is GTX1050Ti 4GB memory.

CPU usage 15-20 percent in Task manager.

Hi,

I think you're starting to hit the limit of how many fixtures Sunlite Suite 2 can handle on your CPU with acceptable performance using 5760. Are you able to lower the number? Not all of the code in Sunlite Suite 2 is optimised for multi-core processors which, I'm guessing, is why you're seeing low CPU utilization with so many fixtures patched. I have patched 30 universes of RGBW lights and had acceptable performance on an i5 processor. While Sunlite Suite 2 can do matrix effects, it has not been designed to do very large scale matrices like this.

Kind Regards,

Nick.
