not using gpu

[xxopenxx]

Hi, it's using 100% of my cpu and 0% of gpu all the time, memory is 0.0gb too

What version of python ate you using? This issue can occur when using an outdated python version. I know that Python 3.11.4 works for certain. 3.10 does not work.

[xxopenxx]

i have python 3.11.4

Hi @xxopenxx.

Are you on Windows 10 or Windows 11? because onnxruntime-directml (the AI engine) is only compatible with this OS.

Otherwhise it will use the CPU

Python 3.10.14, I never had problem with any ai open source apps, like stable diffusion, ollama etc

@xxopenxx can you send your PC specs? (Task manager / performance tab)

[xxopenxx]

i5 12400f, rtx 4070 12gb vram, 16gb ram

Have you installed Visual C Redistributable and DXRuntime?

1. (If not already installed) install Visual-C-Runtimes:

   • https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/

2. (If not already installed) install Directx:

   • https://www.microsoft.com/it-it/download/details.aspx?id=35

typically should already be installed

[xxopenxx]

These 2 things already installed

Strange, are you sure it is not using your gpu? the temperature is "normal" while upscaling?

Also, if you are on Python, you should see an error that says "onnxruntime will use CPU" in the terminal

[xxopenxx]

i dont have that error, there are no errors at all in terminal of quality scaler

[Djdefrag]

Are you selecting "High performance" GPU in the options right? and if you select Power saving?

wait.... do you have python 3.10.14 or 3.11.4? Because this looks an awfully lot like this issue #69

Hi my friend, maibe you do not see the correct "graph". In fact, you are seeing only "Video encode" e "Video decode", but there are more options. To see if the gpu is being used, you have to switch to "3D" graph.

Also, you can use VsCode to run QualityScaler.py and you should see all logs

[xxopenxx]

But while im using stable diffusion and im upscaling photo for example, I have 99% gpu usage in task manager, it's same for ollama and video diffusion. Upscaling using qualityscaler takes 2h to upscale 2minutes video from 360 p to 760p, using multihreading

[Djdefrag]

sorry but, just a stupid question, have you installed the correct dependencies in requirements.txt?

[xxopenxx]

[xxopenxx]

i can share screen on discord or something like that if you want

[Djdefrag]

can you unistall everything and re-install? i think there is some problem somewere because the latest version of onnxruntime-directml is 1.17.3, but you have 1.17.0

• pip freeze > requirements.txt
• pip uninstall -r requirements.txt -y
• pip cache purge

@Djdefrag Can I run it if I don't have GPU ?
If so how long would it take to process lets say a 5 min video on a 8GM RAM (I5 3rd gen) machine ?

[Djdefrag]

Hi my friend,

yes, it will run without GPU, but will be really slow.

Maibe you can try using the lightest AI model, RealSR_Gx4
