Recently, after serious overheating on a portable system, I installed a Conky panel on my desktop to provide basic system information. I now get visuals on the cpu core loadings and temperatures. Good for my peace of mind. David On 04/18/2018 01:18 PM, Matthieu Moy wrote: > - Original

No, that's not what I would want to see (which version of darktable are you using). The final lines of the output should look something like: 8,290702 [opencl_summary_statistics] device 'GeForce GTX 1060 6GB' (0): peak memory usage 375014720 bytes 8,290722 [opencl_summary_statistics] device

You may also run darktable with -d opencl -d memory, do some typical stuff and then close darktable at which point it will tell you the peak usage of GPU memory. Peak usage will be very depending on your usage scheme. It will be high during export of large images and reasonably low and

More memory is good because it allows you to process images through opencl without tiling them, which is a lot faster. Of course this depends on the resolution of the images you need to process, but I'd always try to get the most video ram possible. I think you can do darktable -d opencl to
