Why are Theia and Gaia so slow?

It’s simple, Topaz has internally set a memory tiling of 256x256, wich means it can be run even on 4G VRAM GPUs! Why? They only know, but my suspicions are that they want to expand to users with cheaper and older PCs and thus get more sales. Which leaves a lot to be desired from Topaz Labs as AI stuff company.

It would not cost them at all to add an option for users to adjust the size of the memory tiling, or disable it, so that we can get the most out of the models and our GPUs using this, so theoretically the speeds would be much higher.

I’ve been saying it for more than a year in this forum, but it seems that an update with these features will never come, which shows how little Topaz cares, they only think about getting more sales and sales. With those prices and these performance issues, they won’t get so much sales tbh.

PD: You’re not alone, to upscale a 3h movie from 1080p to 2160p I’d to wait 24 hours lmfao.
