Just talked to EVGA support. Their system is so smashed they can't even confirm the order they charged me for, have to wait and see on this one.

They say they're working on upgrading servers again, as the FTW3 should be on the site by weeks end. That's what I'm after anyway - we'll see!

Had it in my cart but kind of annoyed

Yesterday Jake said no cards were going up today. I refreshed anyways. Then they announced cards right after I quit work for the day

I've been playing around with ESRGAN to upscale images with "AI" but 11GB isn't enough vram to do much with higher resolution images/video. I have this crazy idea of taking my LOTR extended edition blu ray and using Gigapixel or ESRGAN to upscale it to 4K. I've done single frames and the amount of extra detail is noticeably better to my eyes. So far Gigapixel works fine with 11GB but I can't use most of the better filters with ESRGAN.

Gigapixel AI 4K

Background is a little "cleaner" which is their anti noise, but the detail in the armor seems to be improved.

It's fairly subtle but web compression probably isn't helping.

Here's another of Frodo, the hair detail is a little better. 6x upscaled with Gigapixel on the left, original on right. Smoother skin tones at 6x but I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. These aren't massive improvements but this is gigapixel so ezmode, if I had a decent card for ESRGAN it could look better, some people have done amazing work restoring old videos. There's also an app called DAIN that lets you increase the FPS of videos by interpolating frames that should play in between existing ones, so you can boost a 30 fps to 60ps or 120 if you want. I used it on a small 3 min video and it worked amazingly well going from 30 to 60.

You should use your skills to make a CFD model run faster than real time, or maybe see how with works with porn...for science...something really useful. You know?

No, as I understand it they have to re-render all the CGI at 4K+ because they never thought that far ahead back then. That or they're waiting for the 20th anniversary on purpose, or maybe both.

I used to use gigpixel to upscale porn movies for empornium for their upscaling project and it wrecks every GPU under the sun. Before the video version I used to upscale every single frame in batches and it was a nightmare.

Software's amazing tho and the AI will just get better and better.
