Multi-Screen Playback

Alright doggy - so you want to have multiple screens in sync? We know that we can get 7 @ 4k30 out of 16-Core i9 with 2x RTXA4000 cards. We know we can get the same out of an 8-Core i9 with 2x P4000 cards, but the performance sometimes dips. 2x Titan X cards also work, but it struggles a bit, too. Curious about what works? DIRECT Playback and mapping through MadMapper or playback through TOUCH and NDI’d/spouted to Mad for mapping.

Here are some build breakdowns and their achieved performance using MadMapper. 

ID CPU GPU RAM

Display Outputs

(channels @ rez @ fps)

Krispy Intel i9 8-Core / 16 Threads 2x P4000 64GB

7 @ 4k @ 30fps

+1 Control @ 1080

Donna Intel i9 16-Core / 24 Threads 2x RTXA4000 64GB

7 @ 4k @ 60fps

+1 Control @ 1080

4x AMD 24-Core / 48 Threads 4x RTXA4000 128 GB

10 @ 4k @ 60fps

+1 Control @ 1080

(could probably handle more)

Here’s a thread on MadMapper’s forums describing the best workflow - again - who the F is this Trashcan guy??? He seems really smart. 

FWiW - these builds are capable of channels x4 of 1080 in perfect sync if you split the 4k with something like an FX4 or HA5.
