Final Fantasy XIII 8K Upscaled LCie Captured FMV New AI Model 5.1 Audio #4 PC 8K
Extra info over here - since I did not want to plague the video is a lot of information/text.
Using the new AI model - Proteus, featured in Topaz VEAI 2.3.0, I have upscaled and configured the AI (using the settings shown when selecting the AI model) to add a lot more detail and reduce compression artefacts of the FMV. Which is demonstrated within this video, in 8K (though Bink 1 definitely is unable to handle 8K playback).
One of the problems faced in currently using AMQ - Artemis Medium Quality, is the lack of detail that is retained. This is obvious on the character's skin, as it over-smooth by the AI model.
Now this new AI model poses a threat to my RAM. When using Proteus, the frames are stunning, but consumes anywhere between 8GB - 20GB of RAM. This is even more inflated when De-Blocking and De-Noising where the RAM usage exceeds 25GB+ and uses my *pagefile* (Virtual Memory) due to the RAM running out.
Another potential issue that adds to a lot of time consuming to upscale the FMVs using this AI model, is that it is necessary to split each FMVs into fragments where the next camera angle is switched to. This is because the AI model auto-detects the optimal AI settings recommended for the current frame. Therefore, it is suitable for the frames that the camera angle is being used within the frame.

REMINDER: You will need at least a GTX 1060 to playback an 8K YouTube video without stutters or video playback hitches.
The videos has 5.1 audio stream, by implementing PS3 version of this game, audio tracks which are essentially lossless. But YouTube will compress them in a way.
Also it is a good of time to unsubscribe to my YouTube channel as I will not be posting much content anytime soon, especially if you are waiting for any gameplay videos to be released.
