I have just installed a Radeon RX580 as many people quote it as good starter to using GPU to speed up Topaz. I do not feel like I am getting the gains people have mentioned.
I have Denoise set to use Discrete GPU and have asked to calibrate, but it seems to crawl on Save Image, with the CPU being hit pretty hard and the GPU almost dormant. In preview generation it is still not exactly startling, again with little (5%) usage of GPU processing. GPU Memory is also hardly used.
In Sharpen, the GPU gets about 20-50% usage and the process is pretty quick compared to pre card install. Memory used is about 0.6-1.5GB of the supposed 8GB available.
Are there any tweaks?
Help appreciated.
Nick
Even then the GPU Memory hovers around 1 GB of 8 available.
Are there any tweaks?
