Black splotched artifacts are still occurring in the current version.
It appears to occur when 4x scale is performed on Proteus.
I will report this to support, but I would like to alert you that maybe it has already occurred at your place and you just didn’t notice it.
On my MBP-M2 VAI works fine, no problems.
But on my Mac Pro (2019), AMD Radeon Pro W5700X 16 GB, MacOS, 80 GB 2933 MHz DDR4, 13.2 (Ventura)
VAI still crashes my computer after a short time, espacialy when i try to to run stabilisation with Apollo
And I already see the complains when face recovery will be implemented. Now TVAI is 3 times slower and this actor doesn’t like him/her 
All current face restorations tools are very bad with close up faces and the face gets blurry has hell and also with profile faces. For videos with mainly static persons in front of the camera with no zoom this could work well but for people constantly moving this could be a nightmare.
An amazing new feature just landed !!! Thanks Topaz !
nothing to worry about. That is just the ghost in the machine.
Topaz Video AI - v3.1.4 → Max Memory Usage 100%
AMD Ryzen 7950X

Nvidia RTX 4080 - latest drivers
Windows 10 x64 - latest patches
My GPU at idle is at 9%, when I export this 4k video, it only goes up to 12%, so only a 3% increase of GPU usage when exporting, something is wrong here
4K clip - when I use these settings, I get max 2.1 fps, usually dips to 1.8 fps
What is wrong with my setup?
I ran it on my AMD 3900X and 7900 XTX. I get 1.5 - 1.7 fps with your settings. Your results seem pretty good.
On a side note, I’d suggest trying Proteus with a high Reduce Noise setting.
I have been trying to diagnose it here, My FPS is LOWER with a 4080 than a 3080, how is this possible? - #24 by jestar001 and a 3080 user is getting 2.4 fps and 2.3fps with a 3060.
Anyone else getting two GPUs under AI Processor, maybe thats the issue (tried it with every option, similar result except with CPU):
I was seeing the same thing a very long time ago (2.6.4) and reported it. My son called them “floating Q spots,” since it was Star Trek Voyager upscale, and only appeared in very dark areas.
It looks like a licensing issue to me!
I am using the trial version, clean install
You’ve been posting here since October, you’ve been running the trial for 4 months? How does that work?
If you must know, I formatted my computer in the past week.
You can try HWiNFO64 and click on total GPU-power, but i agree, 40-series should give more fps.
At Idle - GPU Power
When exporting a 4K clip → Artemis (Medium), H265 Main with MKV + 80 mb/s
Normal?
I don’t need boring jokes when I’m talking about important things about image quality 
In my case, it also occurred in darker scenes.
However, I feel that it does not occur in completely dark scenes, but tends to occur in gray scenes that are closer to black and have a lot of noise.
Also, in previous tests, it tended to occur when the filter (compression,details,noise) values were small.
Support for duplicate frames is huge. Thanks so much. I actually emailed you guys about this and I’m surprised it happened so quick. So far it works great.
I am now suddenly getting videos getting to 99% and never finishing on this release. Even with just a chronos or apollo 60FPS conversion without upscale. Please look into this.
