Upgraded GPU from 750Ti to 1060 6GB and WOW!!

[GottWhat]

Today, I upgraded my GPU from a 750Ti to 1060 6GB and it makes a HUGE difference. I rip blu rays using h265, 1080p, AC3 5.1.

A 2 hour BR would typically take about 4 hours with the 750Ti. With the 1060, I just ripped Avengers: Infinity War (149 mins long) in 22 minutes. The GPU peak usage was low (<20%) with averages under 5% and my CPU went from a constant 100% with the 750Ti down to 35% average.

If you can afford it, I highly recommend upgrading your video card (GPU) to take full advantage of the CUDA ripping.

Thank you DVDFab!

Ouch! Why do you destroy audio and video?

The h265 does not destroy video quality - there is no noticeable difference between 264 vs 265 on my 65" plasma. The only difference is 265 files are half the size (a 2 hour film w/h265 is approximately 2GB whereas it would be around 4GB in h264), which is important when for my collection of 1,000+ movies. There is also no difference in sound quality between AAC and AC3, I only started using AC3 because my sound system better supports it and it actually sounds better than AAC on playback on my 5.1 surround system.There is no way I am saving DTS soundtracks on all of my files either.

Also, having a smaller file size allows for easier remote streaming via my Plex server.

a 2 hour film w/h265 is approximately 2GB

Wow! To compress a 2 hour Blu-ray film to 2 GB size is really brutal.

Have you tried h265? It is still 1080p, just a superior compression to h264.

You really should give h265 a try. It's a superior compression algorithm. Especially if you have hardware support for it.

It takes longer to rip but it's worth it. Like Jon said, not all devices support it though.

I'm guessing you changed a setting someplace is all. Maybe enabled CUDA in the nVidia control panel? My 650TI rips BDs in about 30 minutes. Same as the 980M in my laptop. Both run at about 5% usage.

With a 650, not a 1650? With a 650, my guess is that is for h264? Try ripping something in h265, takes a lot longer unless you have a newer GPU.
