- But for some not a ‘disaster’ (may for a lot). If you has like 12-16GB GPU, thing just great at general, you can do everything. For some 8GB is fine, for some even 4GB is enough what they does.
- Forum has a big bias → as in here usually peoples come with problem.
- Even DxO specifications just say like "Minimum: 6GB for AI mask and DP3’. Just say ‘AI mask’, and not say ‘pre-defined mask’, just say DP3 and not DP XD2s. May some not realize this. And not forget, now lot of other running apps use GPU VRAM, even web browsers can use a visible amount.
- PL9 Manual AI mask + DP3 export can work even with 4GB GPU VRAM (withs some workaround). I even write a post about that. May worth to check it here in the forum (DxO 9.2.1 + Manual AI mask + DP3 NR Export can work even with 4GB GPU VRAM! - #5 by andras.csore).
- If you use PL9 like PL8 - like without AI masks, your just fine as with PL8, and you can do more advance Masking what comes with PL9 (layering, mask intersect (invert shape)), etc. If you cant work with GPU mode for whatever reason (like you have only 1 or 2GB GPU) you able to use AI Masking with ‘CPU only’. Of course, with CPU speed - but for manual AI mask and DP3 is still useable.
