RTX 3090 worth it?

With the launch of the 4000s being a disaster.

I’m very interested in buying a 3090. But how long would it take to upscale a 3 hour DVD 480p to 1080p?

Thanks

I have a 3080ti. Depending on the model and a few other things. It usually take about 6 hours for a 2 hour DVD.
3090 should be slightly faster plus your extra hour. I’m guessing around 8 to 9 hours.

That’s not too far off, depending on the processes you have chosen. However, this last week or so, the time required is getting noticeably shorter. I think that they’re optimizing their drivers to make better use of the Nvidia 3000 series resources.

I was referring to the original SRP.

Thanks for the info.
9 hours! och!

I was hoping for 6. Not sure which model works best with good quality DVDs. Nothing fancy. Convert to Tiff
recomplie for blu-ray.

Lately, in the Betas, the 3090 fps rate is already getting much faster. And they seem to be saying the speed enhancements are still coming.

Any word when its coming out? Its been a while since the last update and my subscription ends in March.

Thanks

Are you referring to V2.6.4 or V3 ? :thinking:
v3.0.0-7 have just released a few hours ago.

They said “next month” in the last few days of September for Version 3.
I’ve only seen version 3.0.0.6 and it’s not one month away from being ready for the public. Maybe if I saw 3.0.0.8 it would put my mind at ease.

James,

I think I recall that they were implying the VEAI 3.0 would be ready sometime in October. - IMO, I believe they were being overly optimistic when they said that. The new 3.x version is a big departure from the current VEAI 2.x. and the number of problems that need resolving in any new body of software can be orders of magnitude greater than simply republishing the older version with a few new features.

In addition to bugs, VEAI 3.0 still has an Achille’s Heel having to do with input preparation prior to Enhancement. - It still needs work. - Presently, I’m running 3.0.0.9.b and it’s still not ready for prime time.

As I’m somewhat skeptical about a release in October.

Here are some more result :grinning:

Seems like in PhotoAI the GPUs were off. :sweat_smile:

Here are some GP & Denoise Benches with A770.

Please take note: As VEAI leverages the power from all these devices’ drivers, the timings will be changing significantly.

Yeah if they did that, I think it would hurt them a lot. They don’t want to be the next company that gets a bed name from releasing before all the fixes are in.

And, (as if mentioned elsewhere,) I’m concerned that they need to add more functionality in terms of rendering settings to the GUI. I’m concerned that if they don’t, the GUI will become secondary to the CLI.

I can suggest an approach for adding additional output configuration features to the GUI while also keeping it simple and intuitive; something that will appeal to both GUI and CLI users.

Recently I got RTX 3090 ( Colorful Vulcan OC-V 24GB LHR) and comparing with my ex 1070Ti on same project, processing speed nearly doubled. In Proteus FT mode it was 0.52s for 1 frame before and now it is 0.28s median on 10000 frames range.
And bad news - nvidia-smi shows that GPU in P3 state while processing (fastest is P0) and card itself even not hot. After 2 hours of VEAI processing, temperature was 52C and coolers started spinning may be 3 or 4 times for several seconds.
I tried 5 different NVIDIA drivers (latest, one 5xx, two 4xx and even 381) with same result and have feeling that VEAI just can’t use all the power of GPU properly

VEAI 2.6.4? Yeah. Version 3.0.0.7 can use more of the GPU on some of the models. For example: scale 100% Artemis Medium Quality now uses 95% of my RTX 3080ti.

Yep 2.6.4…
95% looks interesting, but unfortunately I can’t imagine working with video without avisynth and VEAI 3 have no .avs support. So I prefer to wait :slight_smile:
