Another "QTMGC" mess 🥴

[Selur]

Look i have a better screenshot taken while using KNLmeansCL seperate filter.

Okay, not helping either,...

The strength is set to 2.0 in knlmeans, but as you can see something is realy off with knlmeans filter in general Huh

2 and 10 *qtgmc internal factor are totally different!

It used to be a much .. MUCH.. cleaner output quality !?

when was that?
In your script:

core.std.LoadPlugin(path="C:/Program Files/Hybrid/64bit/Vapoursynth/Lib/site-packages/vapoursynth/plugins2/vsnlm_ispc.dll")

is used for knlmeanscl which is the non-GPU version,... => looking into it => okay, that is normal if 'OpenCL' isn't enabled.

vs-nlm-ispc

Non-local means denoise filter, drop-in replacement of the venerable KNLMeansCL, but without the OpenCL dependency (CPU only).

Side note: What Hybrid does when 'KNLMeans(CL)' is selected:
1. if no gpu accelleration is enabled it will use vsnlm_ispc
2. if gpu and a nvidia card is available, it will use vsnlm_cuda
3. if a gpu and a only non-nvidia card are available, it will use KNLMeansCL
