While I now have Denoise AI 3.0.2 working, unfortunately, OpenVINO isn’t working. It also doesn’t work in Sharpen AI 3.0.0.
The system is Windows 10 Pro x64 2004.
I have Topaz Video Enhance AI 2.1.0.0b running on the same system, and there, OpenVINO works very well.

Check the attached logs. Even though “CPU” is selected for “AI Processor” in Preferences, it’s loading the Tensorflow .bin files, not the OpenVINO ov.rz files.

In the registry, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Topaz Labs LLC\Topaz Denoise AI\appMain, DWORD cpuPlugin is set to 1. I believe it should be 0 for OpenVINO. If I change it to 0 it will just get changed back to 1. However, String ifOpenVinoCanWork is set to true.
The performance difference is extremely obvious… minutes instead of seconds!
