Re: Iterations, batch site and Eg / s

How many iterations is the million-dollar question. If you watch your loss graph, you'll see it flatten out a bit. In the training guides you'll see mentioned how to zoom in and see that it's still going down. Looks flat but it's still learning. When it seems to be flat, it should be trained. But al...

Re: Iterations, batch site and Eg / s

EGs/s is the best to go by . It's seeing more faces per iteration, Which means it trains faster/better. Batch is telling the model how many faces it should try to do per iteration (limit to your vram.). There is a caveat about how big of a batch you probably don't want to go over a hundred but that'...

Im not going to tell you what you should buy ;-)

My Egs is different because Im running a different model, different settings villian .

Re: Rig ex mining?

Its all your choice.
FS now has RTX support and having more than 6GB vram is the best.

I just 'benchmarked' my cards after reading your post.
With the current model I'm running a 2070 is 2.5x a single 1070.

Comparing loss functions with descriptions and examples

As I've begun to learn face swap and it's parts, I started paying attention to this "loss function" mentioned in setting the training options . I will try to characterize below what I learned. TL:DR I like Smoothed and SSIM. Most functions were generally the same quality, but not the same....

Re: Many Sources vs several sources?

So this is what I have gathered on sources. First, i don't see much use going over 10K pics. You can do more but debatable , someone will want to argue :-) I understand this is just your example #. This isn't exactly scientific , just generally how I think about it. The NN is trying to match up the ...

Re: What things contribute to the best result?

You can do it with lower quality. With a 1050 I understand you'll need to be smart. Broadcast tv was 450x480 , old movies can still be 1080P and higher but still lack that detail and sharpness due to changes in technology. I have an example of Archie bunker to Trump and this old Dean Martin . When I...

Re: How many iterations

Both really do matter. Even if you are only converting A--> B, the NN still has to learn and its A<-->B
You might slack on the diversity of A and get away with it, do your best.

It would not be great to train for 96 hours and have a less than stellar swap

Re: How many iterations

Yea maybe longer. Nothing wrong with a batch of 6, might just take longer. In my Training Model examples post I hit 500K+ on some models and they were still getting better. Others were just great at 100K. I had a high res DFl-SAE Batch 8 (that's like batch 4 on the current version) for 750K before I...

Re: Same missing alignments problem while training

If by out of memory you mean it runs out of my computer memory, perhaps. It does seem to work best (best meaning it works for an hour or 2 ) when I restart my computer and it tends to crash when I open up even light applications. If your computer is crashing after an hour or 2, I personally would s...

Re: More A Faces than source video

I think you almost have it. If I personally was in your scenario as I understand it: Have good sources for A, mainly from the video you wish to use. I may try squeezing as many out of it as possible. You can also use images of A from other sources but if you don't that available, it may be fine. The...

How many iterations

Many newcomers to Faceswap will often ask "how many iterations do I need?". The short answer is as many as it takes to look good. Here is a simple example for you to look at and get an idea. Need to watch it at HD1024 full screen. Stop at frames to see differences. https://youtu.be/yvqsyjB...

Re: Faceswap.py Does not startup after installing it and installing the missing modules

Torzdf mentioned your gpu. He's 99.8% correct usually :-)
Think you need to support cuda 10.5 on the gpu?
AT less than 2GB VRAM I don't think it would run anyway.
I can't look it up easily from work. The 900 series on works.l with 4gb++ vram

Like Bryanlyon said overclocking will make it glitch.

Re: unable to detect graphics card, is there a fix for this

Normally face swap will pickup video cards no problem.

Can you click on help in faceswap, and then output system information?
Post that here.

Current Nvidia driver is 450, also version 440 for sure works fine. If you have either one of those we can check that off the list
