Yes that is difficult, but it seems that the RTX cards with the CUDA core technology are good for all the AI stuff. However, I had a headache every time after reading such articles.
Nvidia CUDA Cores Explained: How are they different? (techcenturion.com)
I once sent a request to Topaz
“I’ve preselected 3 notebooks by Lenovo and HP and would like to know if the gpu’s are fitting the gpu requirements for Topaz Photo AI
Here are the GPU’s
NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 30xx
NVIDIA Quadro® T500 4 GB GDDR6
Integrierte Intel® Iris® Xe Grafik”
and got the following answer
“*The RTX 30 series is your best bet from this list. *
The others may work, but are more prone to conflict with our apps”
And since NVIDIA also provides the more stable Studio drivers, I’ll keep looking in that direction.
But in the end, you have to be happy with the performance, and you can let the export of the developed images run unattended while you relax with a glass of wine.
My export times on my old computer are subterranean, but actually that doesn’t bother me at all, but when you see the fast times on my MB Air M1 you really want to replace the old part quickly…
Have fun while working
