No kidding, I might be able to stir-fry atop my 2018 Mac Mini!

I tried it a while back but forget why I uninstalled it.
Might as well try it again. Thanks!

We suggest you run Video Enhance AI on high-end Nvidia graphic cards. The minimum requirement is GTX 1050 with 4 GB VRAM. Any graphic card later/better than GTX 1080 (included) will do a fairly fast job.
If you do not have an Nvidia graphics card in your device, the software can run on your Intel iGPU. Typically, it will be 5 times slower. If you do not have an Intel iGPU, the software will finally fall back to your CPU, which can be 10 times slower than the Nvidia GPU version.
Mac minimum requirements: models release 2013 or later, 16GB or more RAM, OSX 10.12 (High Sierra) or newer.

Ya I had a very short video clip, maybe 2 minutes long. The program hung at 15% for over twenty minutes until I killed it. My video card is Nvidia graphics card but its only a Geforce GTX 750 Ti which just does not cut it. LOL
Oh well gave me something to do other then staring out the window at the birds.

My gaming PC isn’t that new, but it‘s an i7 3.2mhz with 16GB, 4gb gtx 1080 gpu. I’ll try it there. While the Mac Mini is fast, it uses intel on-chip graphics, unless I pop for an external usb-c gpu which is too damn pricey....

I think mine will work pretty good. I'll give it a go in the next couple days and see how it goes.

Ok. Giving this a try. Uploaded to Vimeo at 1080P in the original video then used topaz on it to make it 8k. Figured Vimeo would work best rather than Youtube. 1920 x 1080 30 FPS to 7680 x 4320 scale 400%. Hope I did it all right. For this 15 second clip it took my laptop 50 minutes to render so for slower computers it would probably take forever.
