I’m noticing a problem where it benchmark quite well. However actual upscale export is really poor.

I have tried upscaling multiple 720p to 1080p on Proteus and I’m only getting around 10-15fps.

Is anyone else having the same issue?

Have you tried a round number upscale? They usually process faster a sharper in my experience. So, try to go from 720 to 1440 instead of 1080.

43

What’s the output format? That can make a difference.

Yes I have tried 2x instead of 1080p as well as trying different output codec. They are all the same.

Currently I am exporting it to FFV1 and then using handbrake to convert it to x265

That is a good way to do it, and shouldn’t be that slow.

The only other thing I can think of is your CPU doesn’t have a lot of fast cores. That might be why, but it’s just a guess.

46

I think too that the CPU is the Bottleneck.

47

I also think the problem is my CPU. But I wonder why it performs well in the benchmark.

To my knowledge, the CPU is busy writing the file and therefore cannot supply the GPU.

Compressed and non-hardware-accelerated file formats in particular use a lot of CPU power.
