New Beta 4 Redcine-X with NVIDIA CUDA decode just landed.
RED engineers have outdone themselves once again. I had an initial target of full 8K @ 24fps. They took that target... and stomped it.
This new build is seeing 33fps on a single 2080ti card. Full 8k @ 33fps. That's pretty insane.
Windows only.

NOTES & KNOWN ISSUES
Image Noise Reduction Panel
Chroma Noise Reduction in IPP2 (On/Off) [Full Demosaic Only]
To add/remove panels, right-click the panel area, and select the panel you want from the drop-down menu that displays
Multi-GPU full screen playback results in alternating rendered and black frames.
Some machines with more than one GPU installed are experiencing significant FPS slow downs. The FPS slow downs can get worse if both GPU cards are selected for use with REDCINE-X PRO.
CUDA Rendering with Post Effects enabled can cause display issues.
Corruption in the RCX GUI's Viewer Window when SDI/HDMI output external video output and CUDA GPU decode are enabled (SDI output works).
Some 5k and 6k clips show decompression artifacts at 1/8th and 1/16th.
Occasionally, first frame in viewer may be displayed abnormally.
