I have an Asus Zephyrus laptop. With the G-Helper tool, a tool for Asus laptop users to control some system settings, the GPU Mode is set to Standard and Mode is to Balanced.
When i run Topaz to process a video file, Windows Task Manager reports CPU Utilization at 55% and GPU at 8%. The video is encoding / processing at 25 fps according to Topaz’s progress indicator.
Back within G-Helper i change the GPU Mode to Ultimate (up from Standard) then have Topaz process the same video file again. Windows Task Manager reports CPU Utilization at 55% and GPU at 90%. I was expecting a bump in Topaz processing speed since the significantly greater GPU utilization but NOPE. The processing speed remains at 25 fps.
Can some one please explain to me if this is normal? Is this a known bug within Topaz AI, an incorrect setting within the app which caps the FPS processing speed, or perhaps an Asus setting i neglected to adjust.
Much appreciated for the education.
