- Note: Higher-end hardware may experience even greater performance gains
🎨 UI Changes
App UI scaling
- Added the ability to zoom the interface in and out (from 50% to 175%)
- Scaling is relative to Windows UI settings and your preference is automatically saved
🖥️ Smart Backend Detection
- The app title now dynamically displays the AI engine version and backend
- DirectML detected: (
+ DirectML) GPU acceleration is active for maximum performance - No DirectML detected: (
+ CPU) GPU acceleration is disabled
Warning
In CPU mode, upscaling will be significantly slower
This may happen due to missing libraries or outdated GPU drivers
🗯️ Balloon messagebox
- Modified the app messagebox interface with a new, custom-styled balloon notification
🩹 Bugfix / Improvements
