Users with AMD GPUs please let us know the average performance improvement you are noticing between 3.0.x and 3.1.x of TVAI. Please add the following information to your reply.  
GPU utilization using GPU-Z or similar app, CPU, RAM, GPU, VRAM, input resolution, model used, output resolution, fps or slow motion amount.

I have to look at the logs again, I meant that there are 36 fps at the beginning after the start of the processing, for a second or two and then it collapses.

But I may have been mistaken, that’s why the verification.

Thank you @TPX  
Still waiting on AMD to get back to me with some details. Hopefully will have the first alphas out in a few weeks.

ok,  
whats the Problem?

DirectML or something else?

Sometimes it feels like its the driver, because there is no way to change it.

Most likely, I’m hoping it is something we can work around. The gist of it is that we need to be able to copy data from RAM To VRAM, Process, copy output from VRAM To RAM in a staggered manner, with ORT+DirectML implementation it is not happening, leading to situations of GPU waiting. This is overcome by the multiple process approach, but that’s not really the solution.

There also seems to be some kind of wastage within ORT+DirectML. Lots of possibilities, the hope is to get the same level of performance in a single process that we get on multiple processes currently. We will be looking at [RML](https://gpuopen.com/radeon-ml/) to see if it provides more boost.

I did turn on Prefetch of L1 again but it seems to not matter for TVAI.  
But its like to put more power on the CPU.

* * *

You only notice when working that the screen builds up faster here and there with the prefetch of L1 enabled.

Can Topaz distribute test videos and benchmarks to beta testers to investigate what the bottlenecks are by conducting a common test?

Currently, each tester is using different videos and different methods to investigate, so the test results are inconsistent.

For example, if we prepare 480i, 480p, 1080i, and 1080p test videos, perform common tests such as 2x scale and 4x scale, and have them compare the specs of each PC (CPU, GPU, MEM, SSD, HDD…) If we let them compare the results, it would be easier to grasp the cause of the problem.

The benchmark results obtained would also be useful for users to consider what they can do to improve the speed of their PCs.

I have always wanted it too 🙂  
Will just add a benchmark menu item that will just run a few models and report numbers, along with system info so they are easy to post.  
Will do this once all the performance improvements are finished.

Here is a version for anyone with the issue to test:

> [@Windows Alpha for AMD & Nvidia GTX GPUs only](https://community.topazlabs.com/t/windows-alpha-for-amd-nvidia-gtx-gpus-only/40259):
>
> Hi All, Here is an early version of app that should improve performance for AMD GPUs and hopefully older Nvidia GPUs(non RTX cards) that use onnx models. Download: [Win](https://downloads.topazlabs.com/deploy/TopazVideoAIAlpha/3.1.6.0.a%2bamd/TopazVideoAIAlpha-3.1.6.0.a%2bamd.msi) Known Issues: Proteus Auto will not work, use Proteus with manual settings Models cannot be run on CPU Models cannot be run on intel GPU Models run slower on RTX GPUs Thank you for testing PS: Since this is an alpha version, it will not interfere with Beta or Release versions on the machine.
