AMD GPU with Cupscale?

[aisle9]

I'm trying to use the included pth2ncnn file to convert everything, but the cmd box just opens and closes without making any changes. I'm stuck processing in CPU mode right now, which is absurdly painfully slow. Is there something I'm just stupidly looking right past here, or should I be considering using my older system with an RTX A2000 (6GB Ampere) installed instead of my main system and its 9060 XT for use with AI processing?

Cupscale leverages NVIDIA CUDA technology to deliver blazing-fast image upscaling...

Sounds like they don't support AMD

Or maybe they do. Supposedly they added Vulkan support, which works with AMD and Intel.

 

Maybe double check which version you have?

Yeh CPUs kinda suck for anything that needs actual power...

 

The whole "modular" approach kinda sucks tbh...

What gets me this is a 5yo program, with all the "AI" nonsense nowadays you'd think we'd have free/affordable upscaling options for pictures and videos by now... Yet whatever I try takes forever and looks like poo ... It's not even upscaling they're just fantasizing new characters and environments in a grotesque way for the most part..

 

 

Upscaling should be easy just double/triple the pixels and make it smooth (by comparing the original material)

It seems like there's a way to jump through hoops and make it happen, but I'm honestly kind of tempted to just sign up for NextDiffusion and use a pod setup, or go with ComfyUI and use the local client. For something that I'm going to need to use heavily when I need it, but only need it infrequently, $12-15 per month doesn't seem like a bad idea instead of bending over backwards to make old software work.
