Hopefully someone else can answer. I’m running a little test on my two computers now. Maybe it will give you some insight.  
4:3 ratio 480p to (2x) 960p 4 second 60 fps clip on the 3080 ti took 11:38 and reported 0.4 fps. It used about 20GB of memory total so 10 in the GPU and 10 in the system RAM.  
The same clip with the same settings on the 4070 ti took 10:54 and reported the same 0.4fps—this computer has a newer CPU and DDR5 RAM compared to the other one with DDR4. This might not be the best information for you since the speed improvement could be from any or all of the differences in hardware.

What if you upload a test video clip? Tell what settings to use, I or anyone can run it on our machine and report how long it takes.
