Upscale any video of any resolution to 4K with AI. (Get started for free)
What is the most effective and cost-efficient minimum system to use with video enhancers and AI algorithms?
Topaz Video AI, previously Topaz Video Enhance AI, was rebuilt from scratch in October 2022 to address user issues and development challenges, offering video upscaling up to 8K, batch processing, video denoising, and color correction.
The minimum hardware requirements for Topaz Video AI include a DirectX12 compatible GPU (NVidia or AMD), an Intel CPU from 2015 or newer, or an AMD CPU from 2016 or newer.
A dedicated GPU with at least 4GB of VRAM is required.
For Mac, the minimum requirements are 16GB or more RAM, 2GB of VRAM, and MacOS 10.14 (Mojave) or 10.15 (Catalina) to run on CPU only.
MacOS 10.16 (Big Sur) or newer is required to run on GPU with M1 native support in version 2.5 and higher.
Topaz Video AI can be used with more than one filter at the same time, with the number of filters depending on the machine's specifications and the size of the file, resolution, and filters being used.
Other top AI video enhancers include HitPaw, Pixop, AVCLabs, and Simplified’s AI Video Enhancer.
A good minimum system to use Video Enhance AI would have a DirectX12 compatible GPU, an Intel CPU from 2015 or newer, or an AMD CPU from 2016 or newer.
A dedicated GPU with at least 4GB of VRAM is recommended.
Rendering with a GPU is essential, even with an old GPU, as it will be five or more times slower without one.
Users have reported good results with Video Enhance AI using a vintage PC with an i7 4770K, 32 GB RAM, and a GTX 1660, although rendering may be slower.
The Chronos AI model in Video Enhance AI v23 increases the video frame rate without adding artifacts, but if the system only meets the minimum hardware requirements, the software's processing speed may suffer.
Topaz Video AI, like other video editing and rendering software, is a heavy resource user, requiring a robust system for optimal performance.
The latest Topaz Video AI v30 was built from the ground up to include new functionality such as video stabilization, improved enhancement capabilities, a better user experience, stacking AI models, and running tasks in parallel with filters.
