How much workload will an Nvidia 1060 6gb graphics card take off of the CPU?
Thanks!

Re: Nvidia 1060 6gb work load
My guess would be "some", but probably not a whole lot.
I'm not sure if it would be worth the money to do it. It might help if you had a large number of cameras streaming, but again I couldn't hazard a guess as to if it would really make much of a difference.

My experience had everything to do with screen painting. Running BI with nine cameras as a service used ~25%. Opening the UI with only the onboard graphics bumped the CPU usage to around 45-60% with occasional 100% usage when multiple cameras triggered. If I increased the size of what I was looking at the CPU load increased along with it. I bought a 4K monitor to take advantage of higher camera resolutions and while the Display Port handled the 3840x2160 beautifully, using the entire display had the CPU breathing kind of hard. I dropped in a GT1030 (needed the lower power requirement but it does not support NVENC. The 1060 does) and it took up a lot of the load from viewing issues. I can still get 100% usage by triggering four or more cameras at the same time (on top of all of the regular monitoring and recording I'm doing) but that's not a common occurrence for me.
