are we talking about NVENC encoder?

Yes im using the Nvenc h.264 under the 'basic' tab

Im using a new RTX 3060ti and the transcoding performance is abismal. Using H.265 Nvidia at max quality im averaging about 19.0 fps transcoding a 3:30 minute 4K video to 60FPS with the same settings I use to playback in real time. I remember my rtx 2080 and 1080 would transcode faster than this. Is this some kind of issue with support for the new cards?

I have no idea how install the new nvidia optical flow 2.0 sdk. I want to try using 2x2px and 1px accuracy but im not sure how to install it can someone help me?

I think we're talking about _performance_. Blackfyre has a performance issues playing 4K @4px blocks, and this is NOT because his 2070 is too slow in NVOF.

And I don't think 1x1 blocks are useful for us. 4x4 is more than enough.

When I was checking with 1080p, with every step decreased. From 16 to 8, then 8 to 4. The number of artifacts were heavily decreased. At 4, there are still few artifacts, but most of them can be masked with artifact masking.

So if Ampere can do 2px and 1px as reported above, can someone with an Ampere GPU please test it?

I am CPU bound correct, since I cannot even do 4px at 4K, and even 8px in some very heavy scenes it would drop frames.

But theoretically if I upgrade the CPU to a Zen 3 5800X or 5900X and the GPU to an Ampere GPU, then I could possibly use 1px with both 4K and 1080p content.

EDIT: The above link posted doesn't actually say Optical Flow 2.0 is exclusive to Ampere.

It says "NEW to 2.0: - Support for Ampere generation GPUs, with improved optical flow hardware engine, independent of NVENC"

So does that mean the other features of 2.0 like improved accuracy and 1px and 2px are available for Turing too?

Does it only require a driver update to test? Or does SVP have to be updated too to support Optical Flow 2.0 with the new SDK? @Chainik

EDIT 2: nVidia Optical Flow 2.0 is exclusive to GA100 and above, so Ampere only is correct.

Would be great if someone with Ampere GPU and a decent CPU can test px1 please.

I have a OC'd 3060ti, do i just go into the manual settings and switch accuracy to 1 and check for artifacts? also what profile and shader do you want me to use? i can put together a little video if you'd like

Just a question, will the new 3000 cards be supported out of the box with SVP and NVOF?

To get access to NVOF settings You need NVOF-compatible GPU:

NVIDIA GeForce >= 16xx (Turing)

Ah okay, even manually turning it on in the profile app settings will do nothing then I assume yikes Appreciate the reply I kinda just assumed a 1080ti would work but I'll check next time!

Just an update, I have disabled nVidia Optical Flow. After further watching TV Shows and Movies. It is not as good at hiding artifacts, even with artifact masking set to strongest, Optical Flow cannot be compared to without Optical Flow.

Below are my settings. Option #1 is better than Option #2. A little less smoother, but a lot less artifacts without Optical Flow. Hopefully there will be improvements from nVidia down the line, if there is improvements from nVidia to this technology and you do update it for SVP @Chainik, please let us know so we test again. Thank you.

Option #1 - Settings without Optical Flow: https://i.imgur.com/4vReGUI.png

Option #2  - Settings with Optical Flow Enabled: https://i.imgur.com/j8JJfDJ.png

Of course the downside with my processor (4790K @ 4.6Ghz) is that for 4K HDR content, I have to switch to 50Hz to watch. But 4K SDR and 1080p Bluray I can run fine at 60Hz.

Advantage with optical flow is that even with 16px for motion vector I can run 60FPS on 4K HDR easy, this is impossible without it with my setup. But too many artifacts for my liking, I cannot watch videos with that many artifacts on objects, it becomes distracting.

How did you get these NVOF options to come up? im manually going into app settings and scrolling all he way down to profile settings sad

Is there any benefit to allocating more ram to SVP for transcoding?
