Wow, not your average desktop PC! :+1:

My 2c. A bit disappointed AMD isn’t doing as well as the equivalent Nvidia.

Hoping to get some more love for AMD, AV1 option still not enabled for 7900 xtx unfortunately. I posted the most relevant benchmarks for the typical all AMD build. Also nice to see that the 7900 xtx perform similar to the RTX 4090 but cost significantly cheaper. Also would be great if you guys updated the software to leverage the AI accelerators in the new AMD cards similar to how the software utilizes nvidias ai cores.

Here are the benchmarks from beta forum :thinking:

And here is the comment from Developer

[Post was benchmarking so moved to the benchmarking thread by DaveL]

Also, here is a video of it happening during a HEVC upscale. I have no idea why I have task manager opened to iGPU, but you can see what the rest of the system is doing. This takes place approx 6 minutes into the render.

The eaerly Artemies modes were quite capable of recovering details and make them look a touch more refined. Unfortunately Artemies for the sake of a “more natural” look lost this ability. Please bring back this ability. For now as a workaround I use de-halo modes which are based on the classic Artemies to recover details by the cost of a dreamy shine in addition which was not the case in the early Artemies back then where those modes without de-halo were able to recover/refine details as well!

Another reason why old models should be available. For some videos I’ve gotten better results with older models so it would be great to be able to download them and use them for certain tasks. I’m also wondering if some models are being overtrained …

Topaz 2.6.3 handled B/W just fine. Haven’t check v3.1.10 though (no need) but I will.

how old are you talking about? I wonder, if you install an older version if they are still there? Still use 2.6.4 because i ran out before 3.0 and my trial of 3.0 was such a disaster. Not just bugs, the UI was terrible. 2.6.4 goes back to Artemis 10 for them (up to 12 or 13). It says older versions are not available. Maybe older versions have even older models?

Gonna try 3.1.10 out again and hope it’s ui treats me at least a bit like a grown up (=not forcing 10 “assistants” down my throat every turn). Model and performance changes (i thought before this) are probably so many now, it’s unavoidable to bite the UI bullet.

I remember it was before 2.6.4 maybe when Artemies was brand new or shortly after. My main concerns about the 3.x version is the missing option to select and cut via frame numbers and the missing comparison views as well too many issues with the preview in general still. :eyes:

Windows PC, 2080Ti, i3, 32GB ram. I deleted the program and reverted to 3.1.9 as need to use, as such logs possibly gone?

BTW it’s Artemis not Artemies

I confirm for the preview, it has been bugging for quite some time now, when we get to a point, it shifts the source image by one or two images. hard to compare in good conditions, I prefer the preview of 2.6.4. but hey… apart from that, the latest versions are faster and I noticed especially with gaia when I upscale the video.

Artemis V8 and earlier is what your referring to. You can import V8 into version 2.3 of Topaz, but it was around then that V9 was done and broke it. You can’t import models into version 2.4, so consequently 2.3 is what I still use currently - and this was one of the reasons. The other is also because V3 has no frame control yet for exporting and side by side comparisons on preview are still borked.

You can also use any of the Artemis versions in Version 1 of Topaz as well as they all pre-date it - I have played with Artemis back into 1.5.3 of Topaz.

The main downside is that my scripts that worked well with Artemis take a long time to export. As the current version still won’t bring in Avisynth imports, I have been trying to replicate the results in Proteus so I can export much quicker and then process in Topaz.

The export only would usually take 6x hours. In V2.3 this is fine, because as it exports it upscales, so the overall time is greatly reduced. To do the same thing in current versions meaning adding 30-40% more time to process an episode, putting aside the fact that Artemis doesn’t work well anymore.

Results are mixed still, but I have placed some examples in the star trek thread recently, which I think replicates much of what Artemis “used to” do - unfortunately its such a very specific thing where different videos may have such very different Proteus settings that copy pasting is almost useless unless your working with the exact same source file.

You are right, those are the versions!! :blush:

Hi, thanks for this Version 3.2.0.4.a - but unfortunately my MacPro 2019 still crashes.
Sending you 2 logs, mayby it is revealing:

Hi. The bench results aren’t totally consistent, as I found some differences…

On another bench, I got:
Gaia 1X: 5.28 fps
4X Slowmo Chronos: 11.89 fps
4X Slowmo Chronos Fast: 17 fps

when using video AI 3.1.10 I was trying to upscale some old tv shows that I had and notice when viewing the preview in and external video player there is about 5 seconds where the video is frozen and only audio plays from the video, but of frames before the start of the preview frame, then when the audio catches up to the moment where the video is frozen the video will then play with the audio. This would make it impossible to upscale old tv shows.
