2.0.0.6 Enlarger 17 hours slower than previous build

johnnydollar79

I downloaded the latest UniFab 2.0.0.6 release that is supposed to be faster. I've been using the Enlarger for almost 2 months to do 1x enhancements to 45 minute SD videos. Under the previous builds, they have all been taking 8.5-9hrs to complete. I just did one on the previous build yesterday and it took 8.5 hours. The same exact video I did yesterday is now saying it's going to take almost 26 hours in UniFab 2.0.0.6. (see attachment) Please help!

System:
i9-9900k
2TB Gen 3 NVME storage
64GB RAM
NVIDIA GTX 1650

Hi johnnydollar79,

Please zip the entire log folder.

I'm sorry, but that's all I have now. I deleted UniFab from my computer and then used extended download service to go back to version 2.0.0.5. That version is working just fine for me. I'm surprised more people aren't complaining about this though.

Most people using Unifab have better equipment than you do. I can take a 480p video from Apple and upscale it to 1080 with great audio in less than 2 hours. Even that is to long. But you need the correct equipment.

The only part of my equipment that isn't the best is my graphics card. An intel i9-9900k is smokin fast, plus 64GB RAM, & NVME storage. Are you talking specifically about my graphics card, because my "equipment" is great.

The below took about an hour and a half.

So is it my graphics card? My i9-9900k was top of the line 3 years ago.

First of all your video card is so old I don't even know if anyone would buy it on eBay. That's what does all the work. The NVENC.dll, your SSD is Gen 3, even Gen 4 is almost outdated now. And the 9900K chip, is all but garbage.
You need a minimum of a 12700K processor
3080Ti Video Card
Gen 4 SSD- Sony 990Pro
64Gbs of DDR 5 Ram
and a kick-ass motherboard
You are trying to run a race with boots on instead of sneakers.

The 9900K came out in 2018 and is almost 6 years old, in computer time, that's 6 lifetimes.

I agree with you only about the graphics card, but the rest of what you say tells me that you aren't an expert computer technician. My PC was built with personal guidance from Carey Holzman who is also well known on YouTube for his expertise and has decades of experience. Anyway, we will agree to disagree. Thanks for your input.

Chameleon

You should learn to build your rigs, I have been building my rigs and writing my own BIOS for my video cards for over 20 years. I worked for Corsair and Asus USA for years, and have built computers that have won awards at Computex Taipei. So what awards has Cory Holtzman won lately?

Hi Chameleon,
What do you think of the improvement in conversion speed in this update? Is the speed improvement noticeable?

Chameleon

You are doing a great job Ryan. I have been around a long time, and I have used a lot of programs like this ones that cost many more dollars. Your program is coming along nicely, if it wasnât, I wouldnât use it. But I do use it because I think in time it will be one of the best

Yes, even though I only get 10FPS, it's still just as fast as the more expensive programs that do exactly what Unifab does. Great job.

I just wanted to give you an update. I upgraded my GPU to a Geforce RTX 3060 and I'm now getting over 28FPS with Enlarger on the Enhancement Only setting. (see attached screenshot).

It all depends on the movie you are trying to upscale.

I was using the "Enhance Only" setting when I got 28FPS. I just started an upscale from 360p to 1080p (966MB to 4.91GB) and getting over 7FPS. Please see screenshots. That doesn't sound bad to me considering the settings I programmed and the magnitude of the upscale. Is it?

I have not tested this model of graphics card, but based on the capability of the graphics card, I estimate that it would take approximately 5-7 times the duration of the video to upscale from 360P to 1080P. If the conversion time falls within this range, then it is considered normal.
