Poor performance with GTX660
« on: March 23, 2015, 06:31:59 PM »
Hello,

I'm running photoscan on my old machine

Specs:
Intel I5 750 O.C to 3.2GHz
Nvidia GTX660 (as primary card installed it year ago)
Nvidia GTS250
16GB RAM

I ran test on my sample data and got this results (time how long Depth Reconstruction took):
1. No OpenCL devices enabled - 00:04:26 (hh:mm:ss)
2. GTX660 enabled 1 core deactivated - 00:04:20
3. GTX660 enabled 2 cores deactivated - 00:04:00
4. GTS250 enabled 1 core deactivated - 00:03:05 (almost 25% faster than GTX660)
5. GTS250 enabled 2 cores deactivated - 00:03:25
6. GTS250 and GTX660 enabled 1 core deactivated - 00:03:25
7. GTS250 and GTX660 enabled 2 cores deactivated - 00:03:15
8. GTS250 and GTX660 enabled 3 cores deactivated - 00:03:37

When running with GTX660 enabled in GPU-Z I see that core clocks is risen and power consumption increases (from 15% to 30%) but GPU core load stays same.

I imagine that GTX660 should be much better than old GTS250.
Maybe someone could help locate problem why GTX660 computing power is not used?

Hello DroneBuster,

Can you please post the console pane output related to the depth maps estimation and specify PhotoScan version used?
