Amd Ryzen Update

[Gerald Weiß]

I had ryzen master 2.0.0.1192 installed and working yesterday using my 2700x. I then updated to beta bios for my MSI B450I motherboard and put in my 3700x cpu. Upon start of windows when it tried to launch ryzen master I got something like "CPU not supported" or similar. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Ryzen master and after that I get the "driver not installed properly" on every start of ryzen master, so I cant get it running at all.

Same exact issue... was able to get it working once and then that was it. Getting the same error message. Asus Rog X470-i / 3700X. Also had the issue with Aura.. interestingly enough lol was able to get it working by uninstalling every component of Aura and reinstalling, but my motherboard's rgb still isn't recognized so that's still crappy.

Having the exact same issue with the Ryzen Master app not installing and uninstalling properly (Driver not installed!). Ryzen 3700X with an MSI x570 A-Pro motherboard. It's become super annoying and the stock motherboard settings have the CPU voltage at 1.47V...

After continuing to encounter this issue and after experimenting more about what causes it, it seems that waiting a short time after the desktop appears, perhaps 30 seconds, can help with launching Ryzen Master. But once it gets "damaged", uninstalling + rebooting + re-installing may be necessary.

Ryzen Master seems quite sensitive to any changes made to the BIOS/CMOS setup. Such a change sometimes requires a re-install of the software. In addition, any kind of CPU or system instability, such as a crash while testing overclocking settings, tends to require a re-installation of Ryzen Master.

I am able to install AMD Ryzen Master or so the app tells me. When I select "Launch" nothing happens. It is not installed and there are no Registry entries to be found on RyzenMaster or Ryzen Master to remove as suggested. This is a brand new Windows 10 installation and if highly frustrating....

What you should do is start RegEdit and under HKey_Local_Machine, System, CurrentControlSet, Services, RyzenMasterDriver (it might have a number behind it - see below) and make sure that the path to the file "AMDRyzenMasterDriver.sys" is properly entered under the option, "ImagePath".

If you have done a default installation of Ryzen Master then you should be seeing this "\??\C:\Program Files\AMD\RyzenMaster\bin\AMDRyzenMasterDriver.sys". If you see something else then replace whatever garbage has been put in there with what I have in quotes above (DON'T copy the quotation marks).

If you have multiple entries for AMDRyzenMasterDriver with different numbers preceded by a "V" (which relates to the version number) currently that would be "V19" then delete the entry or entries with the lower "V" numbers and then check what I posted above.

If you have 2 folder with similar names > AMDRyzenMasterDriver > AMDRyzenMasterDriverV14,15,18,19 whatever version, delete this one AMDRyzenMasterDriverV?.

Now select the carpet and go to "Image Path" if this path looks like "\??\C:\Program Files\AMD\RyzenMaster\bin\AMDRyzenMasterDriver.sys" it's corrupted > Click right and MODIFY and copy this path " C:\Program Files\AMD\RyzenMaster\bin\AMDRyzenMasterDriver.sys " OK and Restart your computer and Problem Fixed.

GPU
The graphic card is also an important component. It may improve the processing speed for step 1 and step 2 (if the graphic card is compatible with CUDA (NVIDIA Graphic Cards). Processing time of step 3 is not affected by the GPU. The GPU affects considerably the visualization of the rayCloud.

The AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 is a good GPU for visualizing the project in the rayCloud. However, you will not take advantage of GPU processing, which takes place mainly during step 1 and less during step 2. To take advantage of the GPU processing you need an Nvidia GPU with at least 2 GB of RAM. You can find more information here: 203405619.

Please keep in mind that the different processing steps use the resources in different ways. Even within a step, it happens that some small instructions need to be completed, which cannot be paralleled and therefore it will not use the full resources.
Hardware components usage when processing with Pix4Dmapper are detailed below: 202559519.
Also, having a balanced computer is of the same importance. If you have a very good CPU, then the amount of RAM and the GPU should also be of the same range to achieve the optimal processing time.

Pix4D Step 1 no surprises, it is a process based on one or two threats. Performance increased a lot when overclocking from 3.6 to 4.0Hz. Some freezing happened because of overheating but only happened twice with Pix4D and it is the fault of the global warming and it is not our water-cooling fault. Solution was to decrease overclocking to 3.8Hz, waiting for cooler days or a new air conditioner.

Pix4D Step 3 a lot of changes between single-core, multi-core and SSD heavy duty. We do not have conclusions there yet. It depends a lot on the task: if it is index calculation or only DTM or the different export formats etc.

Realtime: Turn off every Windows process until it crashes Windows, then back off one process while keeping all your Nvidia processes. Give the resources the same 4GB RAM, turn off all your anti-virus, screen saver, energy saver, EVERYTHING. Give the wife money to take the kids, dog, cat, mouse, and keyboard on a day trip. Clear a few shelves off out of the refrigerator, crank it up to 9, and insert computer tower leaving only the power and display cables to extend outside. Only plug in the monitor to turn it on to check progress. Place a cooler full of ice and 12 bottles of beer to the right of your easy chair and a fire extinguisher to the left. Watch Netflix on IPad, drink beer, and enjoy the silence. 17 hours

@James: Really sorry for closing the other post while you were commenting! I was trying to reduce the amount of posts on the same subject. Thanks so much for posting your answer again! I really like your insights on the importance of power handling (e.g. 95W vs 110W) of the CPUs, as well as the explanation of the clock speed and active cores. You seem to have a lot of experience in building computers, looking forward to hearing about your next home build with the two Nvidia Quadro P6000. Sounds like this will be a good reason to take the wife, kids, dog and cat on an overnight trip!

As for Intel versus AMD construction Intel is by far using the cheaper processes. Cheaper thermal compounds requiring overclockers to pull apart the chips, particularly with anything on the X299 platform, have plagued Intel with roasted chips. AMD is using an overclockers dream on their chips, indium solder. While you can count on Ryzen to dissipate the heat shown in a HW monitor type program efficiently you cannot count on the same from an Intel i9 at this point, not without a lot of work anyways.

As for video cards, with AMD Vega launching right now there is some hope that nVidia will drop their prices slightly. However, as was said, the market is seeing record demand for the 1080 and 1080Ti due to crypto currency mining. It might be best to buy whatever is in your price range and wait for the better cards.

I have been watching this thread and decided a couple weeks ago to build a ryzen pc. Here is a little background. I bought a eBee SQ this past winter and I built an Intel core i7 computer with the following specs.

Here are the results that I gathered from the reports that pix4d produced. I put all this info into a spreadsheet and I will just give you the results of my findings. The numbers are the seconds to run thru steps 1, 2 and 3.

My conclusion is that the AMD 1080x was faster on smaller projects with less images where stitching was easier. When I got into the larger projects where I had to up the keypoints to make the image stitch without leaving gaps the 1080ti made the biggest difference in speed.

My feeling is the slightly higher clock of the 6700k and the overclocked ram helps a little with the speed difference. I am now watching the new i9 processors as they will run at a turbo boost level equal the newer 7700k when full processing speed is not needed then back down a little when all cores are utilized.

I feel a bit like I was mislead by older posts from Pix4D staff that a card above a 1070 was unnecessary, or at least not a good balance, with a high end processor but now I can see I may need to upgrade to the newest Titan cards.

me too, i want use vbg without green screen in my laptop which is my processor ryzen 3 5300u, please give me update and add ryzen 3 for the system requirement, bcs its seems unfair with intel i3 gen 5

I just purchased an HP AIO with RYZEN 3 and Radeon. Zoom tech support says it's not their problem and it wont' work. I have the same issue with a Intel Celeron which they also do not support. However my 10 year old HP - AIO can use VB without green screen - no problems. Zoom needs to fix this ASAP
