Expected GPU-Load

[Matzebhv]

Hi there,
with the help of portainer i have succesfull migrated frigate fom an lenovo mini-pc to my qnap ts-673a. The lenovo was intel gpu-based, had an average gpu-load ~ 2%.
The qnap is equipped with an nvidia 1030 gpu which shows 4% load with 10 cams online.
Question, is this the expected load or should i investigate further to tweak things?
Regards, Matthias

that is pretty normal for just doing stream decoding

Oh, i have a second question. It think makes no sense to use the 1030 instead of the coral as if it is much slower, right?

[NickM-27]

No, you are comparing very different things. You can't compare the speed of a coral and gpu directly because they run vastly different size models. I can't give specifics as your config does not show what you tried to run on the GPU.

Also worth mentioning that Frigate 0.15 has additional features that take advantage of GPUs as well

As i am an frigate+ user i have read about the newer, bigger models to use with gpu-power. So the question is if this bigger model makes sense compared between coral and nvidia 1030.

[NickM-27]

that entirely depends on your use case, how the current model is performing, etc.

Ok, thanks again. I think i will give it a try.
