Hi! I just purchased Topaz Video AI (v3.2.7) after finding it does the best job of upscaling content saved from UK (PAL 576-line format) DVDs, and with the least amount of issues (via “interlaced progressive” mode) to 1920x1080 w/pillarboxing…
My hardware:
AMD Ryzen 5950x w/64GB DDR4-2400 RAM
AMD 6700xt video card w/12GB RAM
Neither is overclocked.
I configured Topaz to run one process at a time, so it wouldn’t thin resources between multiple render jobs in the queue.
GPU usage is 99%.
CPU usage is 15~29%.
Both cite ffmpeg as using the CPU and GPU the most.
Would adding a 6950XT card and using both it and the 6700XT in Crossfire configuration improve rendering time?
Also, is there a way my 16-core Ryzen can be used more as well?
Side-question: I’ve yet to pick up blu-ray authoring software. The test file I rendered is 60GB using MKV. I’m new to this and am guessing that authorizing software will re-encode and compress into the file format that set-top players use?
Thanks!
