Improved win10/11 drivers from Nvidia, vastly improved processing times in PL

That there’s improvements in the latest Studio driver for DXO over the latest game driver. Maybe I should have made this coment to Lucabeer instead of you.

The old ‘Prime’ algorithm could make use of a GPU, but not that good or not that much.

Actually, PRIME processing has never made use of a graphics card’s GPU.

I could swear I would see my gpu usage jump to 15% while rendering.

Maybe that was just the progress indicator:)

This was confirmed by DxO when DeepPRIME was developed for PhotoLab 4 Elite. I believe that one of the reasons that PRIME still exists in PhotoLab is for use by those who do not have a graphics card capable of supporting DeepPRIME and DeepPRIME XD. Without graphics card support, noise reduction is processed using the CPU only. DeepPRIME and DeepPRIME XD can be extremely slow when processing using just the CPU.

Geforce 3060…no improvement.

It may already be optimized.

I got excited about this but saw no improvement in render times using DPXD, it was actually a little slower. I repeated several times, was always about 1s slower. No big deal still fast enough for me. Laptop with rtx2070. Deeprime takes 6s. But i find XD to be sharper and cleaner.
