Hello I need to take advantage of several machines for video transcoding using Windows VPS. I noticed that the number of frames per second processed are half of a non-virtual system, although there are no others virtual machines running on the mains hosts.

Wich settings I can use to obtain performances near the real hardware?
Setting the cpu to "host" and increase the cpu time setting? The vps are set to use all the available cores and with 12gb of RAM.

Thank you.
 
please post your vm config and the output of pveversion -v
 
Really thank you.

ok, looks ok, what hardware runs this on?
does the software transcode via software or gpu-accelerated hardware?
if it uses the gpu, this will not work with virtual gpus, but you could passthrough a real one
 
mhmm.. can you post the complete vm config? (qm config ID)

Using instead a Ubuntu vps for the same transcoding , it reach real performance of the host with medium of 35fps/s, with windows 10 ..not.
