@Alaska Does the issue with HIP happen without denoising as well? If the module memory leak is root cause, using Open Image Denoise shouldn’t matter at all.
I found the leak. The issue is that the CUDA module isn't unloaded when destroying the device. This leak was previously hidden by destroying the context and creating a new one. Here's the fix:…
@brecht I'll try to look into this ASAP.
A GPU being supported doesn't necessarily mean that it would be faster than any CPU. In your case, the GPU doesn't have tensor cores, so it's emulated, which means that performance could be…
The best way to know for sure whether the denoising is happening on the CPU or GPU is to set the OIDN_VERBOSE=1
environment variable before running Blender.
Also, if the total frame time is…
