Updated results after upgrading my CPU and RAM. I didn’t build this pc for Topaz, but just thought it would be interesting to see how the results here were affected by the CPU.

The screenshot below compares each benchmark side by side after the CPU and RAM upgrade. These are on slightly different version of Topaz. I assume that doesn’t really have much effect on how the models perform.
As for Starlight Mini, processing a 2 second, 29.97fps 1920x1080 video took me 2m20s at 1x, and 9m30s at 2x with these latest specs. I saw virtually no difference when setting the max VRAM to 100% or 90% (and I confirmed in MSI Afternburner that Topaz kept to the 90% limit in 7.0.1).
Before this upgrade the 2x run with Starlight Mini took 11m30s so a slight speed improvement there too. Though I suspect that is entirely due to the RAM and not the CPU as I was previously maxing out my 32GB of RAM. With 96GB of RAM the peak RAM usage I saw was 63GB so plenty of headroom now.
