I don’t, I have a 6700xt I don’t remember much about my settings but It’s quite slow when upscaling to 4K.

Someday I’ll get a drive to install Windows on and test the version of Topaz I have with it. The Puget benchmarks with it and Topaz are good but don’t know if my final version is recent enough to be stable with the 9070

Maybe AMD is cheaper at Mindfactory than other resellers, and with NVidia it’s the other way around?

The 9070XT is a good card for the price, and that doesn’t tell us a lot, there’s going to be markets where AMD does better and some where Nvidia does better, as an AMD user I feel like they still fall behind with their drivers, I’ve had many Driver timeouts with my RX6700XT just because I was hitting alt tab on CS2, I’ve never had it on Nvidia.

Also someone who does a lot of upscaling with Topaz I would have loved to see AMD making some serious grounds there there’s no reason why they should be that behind with content creators, I don’t think we’ll ever see the GPU department catching up as the CPU did with Ryzen but I feel like everytime Nvidia fucks something up, AMD does the same so It’s a game of who’s going to fuck up more.

I bought the 6700xt just because I was contemplating on the 3070 but I saw it was an 8GB VRAM card and I thought yeah miss me with that shit.

This statistic refers only to enthusiasts who build their own PCs. It does not represent the overall PC market, laptops, or data-center and other business purchases.

It’s really good. I can see the 9070 and the XT being GTX 970 and GTX 1060 levels of long term relevance in gaming PCs

Do you have any recommendations, I used to upscale and restore old Trailers, Videos, Porn and etc. I don’t remember what model I used but I always used flowframes for 60fps interpolation

Topaz is absolutely the best. There are other commercial software out there that’s talked up a bit but everything i’ve read says Topaz is still better. Free stuff, nothing really comes close. There’s this that i hope get’s better and more developer interest. Available on Linux and Windows

If you’re Windows only, there’s this. It’s more mature in development

GitHub - AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI: Video, Image and GIF upscale/enlarge(Super-Resolution) and Video frame interpolation. Achieved with Waifu2x, Real-ESRGAN, Real-CUGAN, RTX Video Super Resolution VSR, SRMD, RealSR, Anime4K, RIFE, IFRNet, CAIN, DAIN, and ACNet.

But Topaz is better than everything else. It’s why I grabbed a used laptop with an Nvidia GPU for a good price

The free stuff is real hit or miss with real life video. Animations generally always looks good

They’d probably sell even more of their naming scheme was less confusing.

Might just be a personal perspective, but the majority of Nvidia cards that I’ve seen purchased in my community (Not in germany tho) are second hand - most aren’t buying the 50 series due to their horrible pricing. People are buying AMD cards new though due to their good value proposition.

Currently running a GTX1060 and it’s such a workhorse, my gosh.

Got my RX 9070 on the way

I almost never see AMD GPU’s laptops. Like 10 years of them being a rarity. Don’t even know if they have a mobile available 9060 yet. I think don’t think AMD produce much laptop GPUs for vendors anyways

The power consumption of the 50xx cards is just insane, and this makes it a bad choice in Germany where electricity prices are very high. This means I have to pay a premium for the card, extra for the excessive power demands and potentially extra in summer to keep my gaming room cool.

What models do you recommend usually for AMD cards?

I buy XFX. I think Sapphire is really well regarded. I feel like I had a Sapphire ATI card a long time ago. Pretty sure XFX and Sapphire are the major time tested brands. You can probably be good buying the cheapest brand though

No I meant in Topaz Labs.

Oh. I like doing a round 4x in Iris and then converting it down and doing a 4x in Proteus. A lot of times Iris is enough. The newer starlight mini everyone says is way better especially with not making terrifying faces when there’s not enough data but I’m not subscribing again for that
