Optimising Server 2019 (for Graphics)
Got a Microsoft Server 2019 server that just records CCTV data, using an NVidia P1000 Quadros graphics card as the GPU.
I need to optimise the server so it can allocate more resources onto the video and less onto the data as it stops showing the CCTV when the disk I/O is under load.
Where should I start?

Hello,
I guess I/O issues you get only solved if you make sure, you have SSDs behind your harddisc...
A traditional single harddisc has a I/O rate of around 200 IO /s. A SSD arounf 50.000 or more.
Robert's hint is right as well. Doesn't matter which kind of harddisc you have, you should always write data onto a separate disc to keep the OS drive only for the OS.

The O/S and data are very much on separate RAID 1 drives.
I was wondering are their Operating System settings that allow you to tweak the performance?

Hello,
lets say in comparison to hardware, there is not a lot you can do on the OS side.
You can switch off all not needed services.
But the major components are the graphic card as well a the hard disc.
And if you observe I/O issues, than you have to remove the bottleneck --> SSD

Hi - thanks to everyone with their considerable experience in explaining this. I was expecting a series of settings that could turn unnecessary processes off to relieve more processor and GPU capacity. It would appear that that is not the case. Again many thanks.
If so the first step I would do is isolate the OS from the data drive so that the performance of the recording does not impact the OS performance.
I am assuming this is your issue as you indicated that as disk I/O increases the video stops.
