Hello! I’ve been experimenting with the trial version of Topaz for a few days. Unfortunately my MacMini late 2012 seems to be too slow for this task. Render time between 20 - 40 seconds per frame. I would mainly upscale SD video to FHD. The goal would be to get to something like 10 times real time (or better) speed on render time. But what hardware should I invest in with a limited budget?
Would an extrenal GPU for my MacMini achieve that goal? Or one of the last Intel Mac’s (used)? Or are the Silicon Macs even better for this purpose? (Graphics card) The MacMini M2 is much cheaper than a MacStudio with “only” M1 CPU. Which of them is faster? Or should I better take a windows pc anyway? Many questions and hope for answers… Thanks!
