Hi, new owner of Topaz video here. My concern is that my computer hardware is not up to this task? Dell Precision T3610. E5-1620 V2 @ 3.7 Upgraded memory to 64Gb and replaced stock video card with W7100 that has 8Gb dedicated. 685W power supply. I am ok with render times in several hours or ev…

[image] Verofan: It would be nice if one could pick a section of video to process but I can’t figure out a way to do this [image] It’s not perfect, but can do that. Are you saying that your W7100 does work but it’s slow, or you haven’t tried it yet? If you can get an RTX 3060 or better tha…

Thanks. Was actually thinking of the trim on Hitpaw! Looks like the RTX3060 might work in my computer albeit at pcie 3.0 speeds. They seem to cost quite a bit even used so a bit of a risk. The W7100 was cheap by comparison. In fact, I bought a second T3610 dirt cheap just to dedicate to video p…

Ok, I think I might have this down now. Currently running a 7min DV clip that was saved in AVI 720x480 - 1.5Gb on disk. Using 1920x1080, Dione DV going to VP9 best and mp4. Transcode audio (that got rid of error). Looks like around 16-18 hours to process but that’s ok and I like what the previe…

your fine. my machine is 32GB using dione DV upscaling to 1080p and it works fine. If it would be anything, it’s your Graphic Card memory you should worry about, as it uses your GDDR memory mainly.

Thanks Akila. I wonder if there’s anything in between the W7100 and RTX3060 that would be beneficial? I’d hate to spend around $300 on the RTX3060 only to find out it’s hobbled by the pcie 3 slot.

The PCIe Gen 3 will not hinder it at all. Only NVMe SSDs can actually use the bandwidth of Gen 3 PCIe. GPUs don’t really need that much.

Is my computer hardware realistic for video enhancement?

Unfortunately, this is something I can’t comment on , as I am still running on an old GTX 1080 Ti.
no experience whatsoever with 30xx series cards.

But you can check the User’s Benchmark post, I am sure you will find a 3060 some where there.
