Title: Video Card Question
Post by: Smack on January 25, 2022, 06:47:28 am: Quote from: Hendrik on December 06, 2021, 12:25:44 pm

For Luma, we are introducing 2 new algorithms:

- RAVU (Rapid and Accurate Video Upscaling), a balanced image scaler with decent performance, especially on modern GPUs which support Compute. This is a safe default most people with any dedicated graphics card can likely run, and it produces quite good results.
- FSRCNNX, in an 8 neuron and 16 neuron configuration. "Fast Super-Resolution Convolutional Neural Network" is an advanced scaler based on a deep neural network, which rivals other state-of-the-art upscaling algorithms. Of course quality comes at a cost, and running FSRCNNX requires rather good hardware - especially the 16 neuron variant.

Will this 2 features run on an RTX 3060TI (or 3060 - 3050)? If not what would be the recommended GPU be (since they are now almost more expensive like gold ;)).

Is it comparable to MadVR Upscaling Quality??

Upscale from Blu-ray to 4K.

If video cards with costing that much, I would have already upgraded to an RX 6600 or better still 6700.

If you could use an integrated GPU instead, it would be ideal because it would save a lot of money.

- iGPU is fine for HDR Passthrough
- Discreate GPU will be needed for HDR Tonemapping to SDR
