I don’t know what is causing this. At times in the past it managed to make it through a number of conversions. But more recently it is getting to about 40% on anything I am converting and it either crashes the program or my entire computer. I have fixed this by setting affinity to 6 cores 12 threads.
I am wondering if there is a fix with say using and older version of the tool? I am at the moment using the most recent version 1.0.7.
The reason I am asking is that I am able to get 26fps when utilizing all my threads, now I get about 20fps with 12 threads. The 6 extra fps really does seem to increase the number of conversions I can do in a day. It knocks off about 15minutes to 20 per conversion.
Is your processor from the “bad” batch of processors that had the performance marginality issue? (https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ryzen-Segv-Response) You might want to RMA it with a fresh one if this keeps happening, cause it would likely be worse on Ubuntu if it’s the processor.
I will look into replacing mine. But is there a way in windows to tell if it has the fault? I have it covered under warranty so if there is a problem I can get it replaced at the store for free. The store would give me the price of it back entirely to buy a new one. The 1800x happens to be 300USD exactly which is 30 dollars cheaper than what I paid for it.
