Topaz Labs Computer Requirements

Minimum Mac system requirements: 8 GB RAM or more, 2 GB VRAM. MacOS 10.14 (Mojave) can only run on the processor. MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later for GPU. This results in the best performance. Full native support for M1 for all M1 machines starting with version 2.5. Specific hardware considerations for image applications The specifications listed above are minimum requirements for the operation of the software. More robust hardware improves overall performance and processing speed. Your computer`s ability to process an image can be affected by the size of the file itself, and a sufficiently large file can overwhelm the resources of a minimally equipped computer and cause erroneous behavior. Some computers without a dedicated graphics card may work, but erroneous behavior should be expected. A sufficient dedicated graphics card with OpenGL 3.3 and at least 2GB of VRAM is our minimum requirement to support the software on your device.

We do not support integrated or lower Intel HD Graphics 4600 graphics in all configurations. Outdated video drivers can cause poor performance. Drivers should be kept up to date through the GPU manufacturer`s website or the bundled software. Windows driver updates are rarely up-to-date, and newer drivers may be available even if Windows says you are up to date. Our programs use the latest optimizations from Nvidia and AMD whenever possible. Since my computer`s setup is somewhere between the minimum and recommended setting level, I had absolutely no problems or delays when opening or editing images. Thanks for the advice. I have an NVIDIA Geforce GTX 750 Ti that is not the minimum configuration. Everything was very slow until I switched to the control panel as you suggested and manually added Sharpen A1 to run it on the card. Now everything is fine. I wanted to update the map, but no need now.

A DirectX12 compatible GPU (NVidia or AMD). A 2015 Intel processor or a 2016 AMD processor are our minimum processor requirements. Tablets and iPads Our photo apps currently don`t work on iOS or Android devices. A laptop or desktop computer is required. Linux We do not currently support Linux-based operating systems. *Windows 7 and Windows 8 As of January 14, 2020, we will no longer support Windows 7 and 8 for our app updates. While we can`t support a manufacturer`s unsupported operating system, our photo apps can still work on Windows 7 devices as long as other hardware is compatible. Please note that we cannot guarantee that a Windows 7 operating system that works with any version of our applications will also work with future versions of our applications. For CPU, GPU, and RAM, it`s always recommended to have newer or more powerful CPUs or GPUs or larger RAM to speed up AI video scaling. However, we can still use this AI scaling software on older computers from my tests. Here are the system requirements for our AI-based photo apps such as DeNoise AI, Sharpen AI, and Gigapixel AI, as well as our Video Enhance AI video app. Please note that not all computers and hardware are compatible with our software and the requirements may be more stringent than other photo applications you may be familiar with.

Click here for Topaz Photo AI system requirements. Lately, I`ve been researching some of the Topaz AI software products, including Topaz Denoise AI and Topaz Sharpening AI. If I decide to purchase these programs, I will need to update my desktop graphics card. It costs me a lot more than the price of the two software combined. I imagine many readers are in the same situation. Yes. Video Enhance AI works on all Mac models that meet hardware requirements as of 2012, including M1 machines. Here is a link to the Topaz AI system requirements that I received directly from the Operations Manager at Topaz Labs. For those wondering how their machine will handle Topaz Labs Sharpen AI, Topaz has released the minimum, recommended, and optimal system requirements. As I said in my original response to this thread above, if you don`t have a dedicated GPU, this app probably isn`t for you.

Also, keep in mind that even if you have a dedicated GPU, unless you`ve set that GPU to run 100% of the time, Sharpen AI won`t recognize it (in many, if not all) until you manually set up the direct relationship in the GPU control panel. In short, if you have a high-quality video with videos over 720p or 1080p, you may have to choose the Artemis high-quality AI model. If you have a lower quality video like 480P or highly compressed, you can try Artemis Low Quality. If a video is a computer-generated animation, you may need to use Gaia Computer Graphics. If you`ve ever wished your camera had a few extra megapixels so you could magnify details on your computer screen or inflate your favorite photos for printing, Gigapixel AI could be the way to go. It is important to understand the operating system and hardware requirements before purchasing new software so that you can make an informed decision. Topaz Labs Video Enhance AI sells for $199.99 for two computers. Credit cards and PayPal are supported. Tablets and iPads Our photo apps currently don`t work on iOS or Android devices. A laptop or desktop computer is required. Linux We do not currently support Linux-based operating systems. Manually uninstall the current version of your computer and install the latest version using the appropriate installer available on the Topaz Labs website.

However, there is one point I would like to clarify. You mention that Video Enhance AI does not work on Apple computers with M1 silicon. That`s not true.
