Multi-GPU - Why is the performance worse than the older version?

Perhaps this is yet another feature that Topaz have removed without telling anyone.

Anyway, there is a potential work-around: use the CLI (while we still can). It is possible to construct a rather convoluted ffmpeg command to split the video into two streams, one for odd and and one for even frames, process both streams in parallel using a separate GPU for each stream, then recombine afterwards.

Only as an example, here’s a post I made some time ago (in TVAI) using a similar principle but across two machines*, rather than two GPUs.

* Note that TVAI allowed use on two machines at once, but TV doesn’t.
