So I pulled back KNLmeansCL settings as much as possible, attacking only the worst of the video. It still needs a lot of work, but I'm getting about 10fps using the Intel GPU with MT in x64 Avisynth+.

I can attack the remaining issues with faster filters. None are as good as the pure KNLmeansCL in terms of end result quality, but will suffice.

Thanks for the tips.

As far as TDP/heat/etc:

A 40W bulb also has no fan, but the heat emanates into the room. The computer has ventilation, the computer is a conductor, the card has ventilation, heat emanates out the card, thus into the room. Also science.

And you're still missing my point. Having no card = 0, any card = more than 0. The card will expel heat, be it passively or actively (fan). I want a compute to compute, not double as a room heater in the summer. Because it does raise a room by at least 5 degrees here, if not more. If you're in New York or Colorado or Canada or somewhere, you may not run into that problem.

Again, TDP isn't a direct measure of heat expelled by a given system. But it's also not a measurement of mere power consumption. For example, given the TDP numbers against your heat measurement, I have to wonder if the CPU heatsink is inadequate, or needs a re-seat/re-paste. That's what the numbers tell me. It also tells me to expect the GPU to run hotter, though probably not 2x hotter realistically. Those are why the numbers exist.

Anyway, whatever... I have encoding to do now.
