Tested with test image “Egypte” to jpg, no resizing, DxO Standard preset.
High Quality 5 seconds
Prime 18 seconds
Deep Prime 5 seconds
Deep Prime XD 14 seconds
Generally, this is a good result considering earlier experiences. I have been able to export several images at the same time and still simultaneously being able to do editing work with the next ones without problems. PL can now be used economically in my workflow. I hope this computer will be good for software improvments a long way into the future.
I am curious about what is the reason that the legacy PRIME seems to be slower than newer versions. I gladly avoid choosing that any more and feel no need to use it.
Unlike DeepPRIME and DeepPRIME XD, PRIME makes no use of your graphic card’s GPU. The only reason that PRIME still exists is for those people whose GPU is not supported for DeepPRIME and DeepPRIME XD processing. In that case, PRIME would be a much faster option, especially on an older and slower computer.
It must be something like that.
For me it is good to know that Deep Prime is as fast as the High Quality and could be used for any image unless the XD is wanted.
I am really happy wit this now!
I also couldn’t download nikon images in chrome or edge, so i just opened them all in new tabs and changes extension from .jpg to .nef in the address bar and they downloaded
I’m sure some are interested (as was I) so i bit a bullet and got a intel arc a750 as in some topaz benchmarks its really good.
All I can say is don’t bother with it yet for PL or better yet stay away.
Tested on newest PL version, comparing to AMD 5600xt in same system ARC a750 where it did work was very slow, at least 50% slower.
I didn’t even let it complete DeepPrime or DeepPrime XD batches as it just paused after first file and nothing was happening.
What is worst single file exports or first files from a batch which did complete sometimes came out as just mostly black JPGs.
All in all either DXO needs to add support or intel needs to fix their drivers but as of right now and latest “stable” intel drivers the card doesn’t work for PhotoLab DeepPrime or DeepPrimeXD
@MA57k sorry to hear about your ARC A750 woes, elsewhere the black JPGs have been attributed to old NVidia drivers where users have NVidia cards(obviously, sorry).
I am currently in the process of upgrading to a Ryzen system, but with an NVidia RTX3060 card, the processor I chose was a 5600G and was surprised that it could process images in ‘DP’ and ‘DP XD’ albeit slowly
PS. This is repeating the run with 3 simultaneous copies and it shows a issue I have seem throughout my performance testing with the Nikon small batch in particular
The timings should be similar if not better but if you watch the thumbnails while the export is taking place with this batch then either between the third and fourth image and/or the fourth and fifth image DxPL seems to become confused and “stalls”!?
Currently this is DxPL(Win) 6.1.0 running, I will upgrade this particular copy to PL6.3.1 later today, but 25 seconds becomes 45 seconds (the build on the machine is lightweight and nothing is running in the background)!? It is as if with 3 or 4 copies when it can no longer assign multiple executions to the “worker” stacks it loses focus!
With this batch it starts with one image and when complete it starts 2 simultaneously, then it would move to three then four etc. but by the time it gets to 3 images there are not enough images left to move to 3 simultaneous exports.
With longer batches if it suffers this problem it will be at the end of the batch so I need to watch to see if that is happening, other nerdy activities I could undertake are …
New intel drivers got released today and same issue, ARC still not working with DeepPrimeXD, just outputs a black frame, and within PL DeepPrimeXD preview also goes black.
Mac Studio on OS 13.4 (Ventura), 64GB of RAM. This system has 10 CPU cores, 32 Graphic cores.
For what it’s worth, I’m on a 32" display running at 2560x1440 to minimize the scaling issue on Mac OS.
(all with “DXO Standard” selected and then DeepPrimeXD applied. No changes or modifications to any setting or slider). I’m processing 2 images at a time. I’m using PL v 6.7 build 52. This build allows me to select the ANE, which I’ve done for these results. I note that there is no way to easily notate this in the spreadsheet.
I knew that Egypt on CPU would be slow, and it is — but it looks like the Mac/Mx algorithm is single threaded for XD, as it was using <3% of the system while running.
I recently upgraded my computer from an i7-3770K (16GB)/GTX950(2GB) to an i7-13700 (32GB)/RTX 4070 (12GB). Old computer times from spreadsheet used PL4.0; new computer times use PL6.8. Huge processing speed increases in processing speed!
DEEP Prime XD - Old computer - D850 images: 196 sec., Egypte: 67 sec.
DEEP Prime XD - New computer - D850 images: 20 sec., Egypte: 9 sec.
(New computer times using High Quality: 15 sec./5 sec.)
(New computer times using Prime: 43 sec./19 sec.)
(New computer times using DEEP Prime: 11 sec./4 sec.)
PL 6 Prime XD clearly takes full advantage of modern GPU hardware. Using Prime is counter-productive and there’s little speed benefit in processing time with HQ.
for batch try to increase max number of simult. processed images from 2 to 3 or 4 in settings and to test Egypt replicate it several times ( I copy if 30 times ) … that will give a better idea about possible batch performance.
for example 30 x Egypts with 3 simult. processed images in DxO PL7 settings = ~5.5 sec per Egypt on RTX4070 desktop GPU
I just installed a Radeon RX 7600 which is perhaps the cheapest among the recent video cards. The results are beyond my expectations:
PRIME XD on D850 : 8.7 sec
PRIME XD on Egypt: 13 sec.
Usually I process 24 mpix Sony A9 raws which take 5 seconds with PRIME XD.
Hello
I have a HP Spectre x360 15-eb1006nf laptop with a slow graphic card (Intel Iris Xe).
I have added in the spreadsheet the DeepPrime and DeepPrime XD times with this laptop and Photolab 7 (and also PhotoLab 5).
I am thinking about upgrading my laptop with an external GPU (eGPU) in order to get decent treatment times with DeepPrime XD.
My laptop has 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports with USB4 type-C and transfert rate of 40 Gbit/s (USB power, DisplayPort 1.4, HP standby and charge).
If some of you have an experience in this domain, I am interested.
