And when reducing the settings enough to get "competitive" speeds, the results are no more same.


@ Chainmax - didn't you forget to specify what material you're dealing with, what kind of noise there is, etc.? "Something that works as nice as FFT3DFilter" is a highly vague and nebulous question ...

doesn;t anyone read the thread title.

"Alternatives to FFT3DFilter for luma denoising on pictures?"

That means 1-speed is not important, and 2-no temporal processing; combined that means tnlmeans is the most optimal (can't say best) performing filter for removing uncorrelated noise irregardless of other factors.
