DaVinci Resolve 19.1 Update | Performance Gains from Minor Updates
Blackmagic Design released an update to DaVinci Resolve with version 19.1. In this post we explore some of the updates and how they may effect users who utilize DaVinci Resolve for their post-production workflows.
What H.264 and H.265 Hardware Decoding is Supported in DaVinci Resolve Studio?
Davinci Resolve Studio supports hardware-based decoding for H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) which can significantly improve performance with these codecs, but not all “flavors” of these codecs are supported depending on the bit depth and chroma subsampling used. In addition, support can change depending on the capability of the hardware in your system. In order to determine exactly what is supported, we decided to do our own testing to see exactly what types of H.264/5 media has hardware decoding support in DaVinci Resolve Studio.
DaVinci Resolve Studio: AMD Ryzen 9000 Series vs Intel Core 14th Gen
AMD’s new Ryzen 9000 processors are here, but how do they compare to the previous generation Ryzen 7000 or Intel’s Core 14th Gen processors in DaVinci Resolve Studio?
DaVinci Resolve Studio 18.6 – Professional GPU Performance Analysis
With the recent overhaul of our DaVinci Resolve benchmark, we thought it was a good time to do an in-depth analysis of the current professional GPUs on the market to see how they compare and handle multi-GPU scaling in DaVinci Resolve Studio.
DaVinci Resolve Studio 18.6 – Consumer GPU Performance Analysis
With the recent overhaul of our DaVinci Resolve benchmark, we thought it was a good time to do an in-depth analysis of the current consumer GPUs on the market to see how they compare and handle multi-GPU scaling in DaVinci Resolve Studio.

DaVinci Resolve Studio: AMD Threadripper PRO 7000 WX-Series vs Intel Xeon W-3400
The new AMD Threadripper 7000 WX-Series processors offer additional RAM bandwidth and PCIe lanes over the Threadripper line, allowing for multiple GPUs to be used in DaVinci Resolve Studio. But how do they compare to the Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-series and Intel’s Xeon W line?
DaVinci Resolve: AMD Threadripper 7000 vs Intel Xeon W-3400
The new AMD Threadripper 7000 series CPUs are here, offering significant perforamnce gains in DaVinci Resolve. But, is it enough for AMD to take the lead over Intel Xeon W?
DaVinci Resolve Studio: Intel Core 14th Gen vs AMD Ryzen 7000
14th Gen Intel processors are here, and are drop-in replacements for 12th & 13th Gen Core processors. Intel usually holds a lead in NLEs due to Quick Synch, but how well do these new CPUs perform in DaVinci Resolve?
DaVinci Resolve Studio 18.6 Neural Engine Performance Optimizations
In DaVinci Resolve 18.6, Blackmagic is claiming up to a 4x improvement in Neural Engine performance for AMD GPUs, and a 2x improvement for NVIDIA. Is this a true claim, or a matter of cherry-picked results that won’t impact most users?
