As a software developer for 30 years, you clearly know the saying above cannot apply to software development, because no software ever works perfectly and needs to be constantly updated. Otherwise you would have been out of a job long ago. I also hope you enjoy using all your 1.0 versions of software programs because there was no reason to ever upgrade them. Yes, I am being facetious, but only to illustrate my point

Itās not always the perfect software argument for constantly updating, but marketing tactics and profit margins. The last thing any for-profit developer wants, is stale software. Just changing the GUI alone, with new colors and screen layout and then tack v2.0 on the label, will get people to buy/upgrade. Just like Windows 11 for example, leave everything under the hood alone and just give it a new look will prompt people to buy it. And then later, when that doesnāt work, make threats of non-support.

Little question: Has anyone ever used this model of graphics card?

And if so, how much and the computational speed for a 1920x1080 to 1920x1080 video with the Proteus model.
Iām asking because I need to change my graphics card to replace my RTX 2080 which is died at the end of August.
My current RTX 2080 had a speed of 0.27 - 0.28 seconds per frame with the latest proteus model. I wonder if with the RTX 3070 the speed will be faster or not.
PS: The web page is in Dutch because the card is cheaper on Amazon.nl than on other Amazon.
Why not buy it, try it and return to Amazon when it does not fulfill what you need. That gives you in your own test environment the best answer

I think itās scratching to get a laugh. Also, given the current price Iām not going to buy this right away. Because too expensive. Iām waiting for the Black Friday in early November.
This one seems to perform better from what I saw on its benchmark
MSI GeForce RTX 3070 SUPRIM X 8 Go GDDR6 au meilleur prix | Septembre 2022 | idealo.fr
And it is not much more expensive
To prevent duplicate frames, out of order frames and colour deviation. I always convert my video file to a lossless PNG image sequence, then I import that image sequence in Topaz.
Maybe this works for you too.
FYI, thereās not really much difference between 3060ti, 3070ti and 3080ti (lol) in Topaz Video Enhance AI (2.6.4), especially if you donāt have a really fast/new CPU and high speed RAM (3600MHz on Ryzen 5000).
For gaming, a 3070 is plenty/fine, I got a ASUS TUF 3070ti (235W OC/UV) and it performs within 10% of a 300W 3080Ti (OC/UV), both with a 5800X or 5700X + 32GB 3600MHz RAM. So, 720P ā 1080P upscale with Artemis Medium is 0.14-0.15 seconds a frame (3080ti) vs 0.15-0.17s a frame on the 3070ti. If thereās a used market where you live, check that out as well, but personally Iād avoid any 3070s above $500 USD (to local currency + Tax) as there will be a lot of people upgrading and selling if they can afford a 4080 16GB (lol.)
The speeds you are telling me I had with my RTX 2080. I mainly wanted to know what it was like from 1080 to 1080 with the Proteus model. And as far as used cards go, Iād rather not. I donāt know how the card was used. But if anything, it might be an end of life card lol.
And my CPU is an Intel i9 9900K with 95W.
Anyway, I should also change my power supply to one of minimum 850W or 1000W. My 650W power supply wonāt be powerful enough for an RTX 3070, and Iām going to buy this set at the Black Friday sale. So the price will be more reasonable already.
If you have a āgoodā power supply, then I wouldnāt worry about replacing it if it works well. My ā290Wā 3070Ti was turned down to 235-245W and runs happily off a 5 year old 600W EVGA power supply (even at 300W full power), and a 145W Ryzen 5800X. Your CPU might be a part of the limiting factor for speed if you do upgrade, unless you have an overclocked 9900K which should be close enough to the current series. For gaming, sure, itāll be a decent improvement I think (like 20-30% faster, and in raytracing a bit more)
So basically, until this software gets faster, this is the best youāll get with the current software or with Beta v3 is lower power usage with your current graphics card, and maybe a slight speedup if it is power limited, but otherwise getting a new graphics card wonāt help much in my opinion. Disappointing, yes, but only super fast (3090) or two graphics cards (wonāt be much good for you, as your board wonāt have dual PCIE 4 x8 mode) will get you the benefits youāre expecting
Have you overclocked the 5800X? Iām interested which parameters you apply.
Iāve it preset @4.5GHz because when I overclock up to 4.85GHz heat can no more be blown down under 90Ā°C and system shut down.
However I observe that independent from CPU speed load is less than 40% on average, while processing is charging the RTX3060 GPU, and processing time varies onlyĀ±1%.
In fact, Iām replacing my graphics card simply because mine is broken. she gave up the soul.
On a benchmark, I saw that for the RTX 3070 card model, it recommends a 750W power supply. But it doesnāt specify for what type of general configuration. My I9 9900K is already at 95W. I donāt know if it is overclocked. It doesnāt say so in the datasheet for my tower when I bought it. I suppose there could be a factory overclock but Iām not sure.
On my current power supply, I have cables for (2x8 Pins)x2. And I can place apparently 2 cards. And on the power supply, I yet have 2 free ports.
I forgot to say, my CPU is base at 3.6 Ghz
you have on the web some power / watts calculator, in regards of all the component you can have on a computer.
found one :
This is not necessarily accurate for 30x0/40x0 series cards as they are known to have very large transients. Probably wont happen in products like VEAI as the load is fairly constant, but if you plan to do any gaming as well it can be a problem where the card will momentarily draw 2-2.5x the normal load and some PSUs will just shut off at that point.
Granted this mostly happens with people on the higher-end cards but Iād definitely be looking at something like PSU Tier List rev. 16.1A - Cultists Network and picking Tier A PSUs for a PC thats doing GPU heavy work.
the TDP reference from intel mark 9900K as 95W which is not included boost clock ( 95w sometimes not enough to running at base clock 3.6Ghz under AVX2 workload) , 9900k running at all cores 5Ghz/4.7Ghz cache / avx offset -0 can pull about 180-220W max depends on silicon quality and types of workload , casual gaming will consume much less than benchmark / stress tess stuff .
3070 will got about 220-250w if you got something similar as the reference PCB design , there was a power limit and you have no way to pull more than that , some card have higher power limit / unlocked and you can let it have more budget , however how much it can pull still depends on workload and silicon quality.
dont worry , most prebuild are calculated and the thing included is always enough or just barely enough , some series have more headroom for allowance anyway.
for 30 series wattage spike that was another story , most powersupply will fine with that , except some extreme case like gigabyte that one or a very aged power supply / new world unlimited frame cap glitch
Can someone here with a high-end GPU tell us if upgrading to Ryzen 7000 improves their performance a bit in Topaz AI (current version, or the betas). Iād love to know if thereās any practical speedup with a 7000X/ 7900X vs a 5900X/5950X
May I ask, will 2.6.4 be updated again? When I checked the videos processed by many tests in the past, I found that some videos had problems with the processing time. Every file was not checked before, so this bug was ignored. The bug is that after importing veai, the video duration will be missing dozens of frames, about 1s, which will cause the audio and video to be out of sync. There is no problem with the first part of the processing result, but frames start to be missing at a certain time later, resulting in the second half of the audio track and the video track are no longer unified, the video becomes shorter, and the audio playback is delayed because the audio is of normal length. . When I was processing it, I canceled the audio, so it was not the audio problem, and the video duration information was indeed shortened compared to when it was played. Videos are mostly vob videos at 29.97fps. The same video when I import 3.0a and 3.0b has no errors, the video duration and number of frames are correct.
If there is an update to fix this bug, I can provide the video file to reproduce and fix
I also have a similar level of developer experience and completely agree with you. If it aināt broke, donāt fix it.

VEAI only works properly 100% of the time with Lagarith and Huffyuv AVI files (v3.x may have fixed that).
I import AVC and MPEG2 files via Avisynth using a proper source filter like DGDecodeNV, and do IVTC in Avisynth if needed. 99.99% of my video uses those codecs. I donāt know if DGDecodeNV handles HEVC but there are other proper source filters for that, VP9, and AV1 (someone name them or search doom9.org forums).
I then save SD interlaced with Huffyuv compression, or HD progressive with Lagarith compression, to AVI. Huffyuv is mandatory with interlaced for Dione to work. Lagarith tosses the interlaced flag and marks all video progressive.
1080i is a special case. Best results are to use QTGMC with fast preset, save as Lagarith AVI and use a progressive model in VEAI.
Always process audio separately (demux it out and remux it back in as the final step).
