Best version by far Topaz Video AI v3.2.2
The performance kept getting worse and worse and version 4 only added included AC3 conversion, which was very useful. Sometime after that my sub expired and seen no reason to renew.
Now I see that version 5 added actual working pause and start without losing progress, which again, is very useful… but has the performance been fixed?
I’m mainly using Artemis HQ which is near magical with my Blu-Ray collection and the times went from ~1h45m to over ~2h30m for a ~50m episode and ~4h to ~6h for a movie from 2K to 4K. 4K to 8K movies used to take 20 hours or so, but got bloated to 1 day and at least 6 hours to 2 days… on a RTX 4090!!!
Which, BTW, saw no difference in time when upgrading from the RTX 3080 Ti to the 4090. In fact, with each version past 3.2.2, it only went incrementally up.
3.2.2 is peak Topaz and wish they get rid of the bloat and bring that high optimization back. Really want to support this product and get the very useful included AC3 conversion and pause/resume functions, but they aren’t listening.
