System Profiles
A system profile is a set list of details about your computer's system. The details can describe a range of specifications including the type of hardware your computer has, the graphics card installed, and how fast the processor runs.
For example, your system profile shows the timestamp of your last update for NVIDIA GPU drivers.
You can use these system profiles to help understand your computer’s abilities to process our AI models and minimize any disruption in your workflow.
If you are unsure about whether your computer meets our requirements, you can reach out to our support team by writing to help@topazlabs.com.
