cpu frequency scaling for video editing machines

2011-06-18 Thread Luke Kuhn
For video editing (and for 3d content creation as well) a different issue arises: The need to minimize excess power consumption when not rendering or playing the timeline. Video editing is often done on very powerful 4 core or even 6 core computers, and these are power hogs, with CPU power diss

No doubt, this helps. But what is with noob's frustration until they will have found this out? At my last ubuntustudio-install a terminal popped up and forced me to set fitting security limits. There should be something like this for cpu frequency too. Am 18.06.2011 13:06, schrieb Erik Rasmu
