Low Utilization of CPU/GPU

Topaz Video AI General
1

Hi, new Topaz Video AI user here. I’m using it to increase the frame rate of a video to 90fps in this example. This seems to be the case whatever model I use - the CPU, memory, and GPU utilization are relatively low - I think. Same for the SSDs

Is this normal? I’d like it to process as quickly as possible, which I assume means high utilization, haha. Not sure if I am missing a setting.

Windows 10, Nvidia 2070 (will upgrade soon), 32gb ram, Intel 10700, all SSDs

Any advice? Is this normal?

Edit: max memory is set to 100, processes 1, and AI Processor is the 2070

Hello.

Just a FYI, keep in mind that Task Manager only measures utility (non-time-based) but not usage.

Yes, it does matter… A LOT.

If you desire accurate results, well nothing beats real-time metrics e.g. do a job in Photoshop or Maya (heavy on raterized workloads) and there’s also cinebench, ect. that evaluates system performance that can be displayed with RTSS, and many useful utilities vs Task Manager.

Use HWiNFO or GPU-Z instead. Task Manager can be very misleading. Notice in your screenshot your GPU is at a temperature of 78°C. It won’t get to that temperature doing nothing.

You can use also the renkwown MSI Afterburner that will be able to choose what to measure in real time

The list is very long and it’s accurate

Only benefit of using HWinfo64 is to get RAM temp, HWinfow eats some CPU ressources, or disable everything you don’t want to measure

oh ok, thank you everyone!! Installing those tools and will report back :slight_smile:
