I look forward to you guys optimizing the app to leverage AMD cards better. A 7900 XTX is on-par with a 4080 (if you leave out raytracing) but in Topaz I am getting almost half the speed that people with a 4080 are getting. LOTS of room to improve for sure!
What is odd, is that my single 7900 XTX is listed twice? I tried to set settings to use ALL GPUs so it might leverage my iGPU integrated on the AMD 7900X CPU, but when I do that it actually runs slower.

Has anyone benchmarked two equivalent GPUs in the same computer?
I notice that a few of the reported benchmarks in this thread report two identical GPUs but comments suggest that this is the benchmark falsely reporting two, when there is only one (of the same type).
If anyone is able to post comparative benchmarks with one then both equivalent GPUs enabled that would help others including me to decide on the most cost-effective way to upgrade. Specifically, while still available, I could upgrade my one 3060 ti to two of them - if the performance impovement would be worthwhile (but benchmarks of any doubled-up GPU will help to decide)ā¦
There was one post on the version topic, I think, they posted benchmark results form a crazy system with an AMD Epyc CPU with like 96 cores or something. I think they had 4 GPUs in it.
Anyway, to me it seems like if you have enough CPU cores, another GPU will help a lot. Youāve got the Ryzen 7950X, thatās 16 cores. I think youād benefit from another RTX 3060 ti. What donāt think you will get is faster speeds processing one video. I suppose thatās what your asking for though: Will the All GPU setting use all the GPUs and get double the speed? I think itās safe to say you would be able to process at least two videos at the same time with no speed decrease.
Yes thatās what Iām wondering, thanks for the comments. The choice is 1) upgrade my no. 2 system from 1070 to 3060 ti (Iāve already tested by borrowing it from my newer system and speeds are similar) or 2) add a 2nd. GPU to my newer system, which would be more convenient if the overall result is similar (approaching twice the output). Thereās plenty of spare capacity in the CPU. I may have to upgrade the PSU though.
This is all because I canāt justify the expense of upgrading to a 4080 or 4090 unless it would double the processing speeds on 1080p or lower resolutions, and posted benchmarks indicate that they would not. If I go ahead, I will of course post the comparative benchmarks in here.
I suppose a written explanation hasnāt happened because everyone that requested it be added to TVAI, and everyone that has posted results in here, already know the concept of a benchmark. Hereās my (hopefully) detailed explanation:
The speed that a video will process in TVAI is highly dependent on five things: Central Processing Unit (CPU), Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), input video resolution, output resolution and the AI model selected.
Looking at the lest benchmark result, we can see that with an AMD Ryzen 9 3950X CPU, an Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti GPU, an input video resolution of 1920 by 1080 with the Artemis model selected: The frames per second (fps) were 14.96 with an output resolution of 1920 by 1080 (1X). At the output resolution of 3840 by 2160 (4K [2X]), the frames processed per second were 6.67ā¦ And so on and so forth. For the interpolation models (Apollo and Chronos), they only show the speed of the 1X resolution because they do not change the resolution. They show the frames per second when increasing the amount of frames by 4.
Youāre right, but itās so wishy-washy. Like turning it down on some hardware makes all the difference, but on others, it dose nothing but make it slower.
Thanks for the explanation. I was just seeking to know what the various values represented in the report and that was answered., all except for one. What does the āDevice 0ā mean? All the results seem to return this as a value.
Device=0 is the GPU, -1 the CPU, 1 would be if there is another GPU like an iGPU or a second GPU. The benchmark only uses one deviceā¦ but Iām not sure what happens if you select All GPUs if you have that option.
