Minimum Requirements
| Windows Operating System | 11 (most updated version recommended) |
| CPU | Intel OR AMD with AVX2 instructions |
| System Memory (RAM) | 16 GB (32 GB or more recommended) |
| Graphics Card (NVIDIA) | NVIDIA GTX 900 series or higher, 6GB VRAM |
| Graphics Card (AMD) | AMD Radeon 500 series or higher, 6GB VRAM |
| Graphics Card (Intel) | Intel ARC A750 |
| CPU Release Year | 2016 or newer |
Warning: While integrated graphics processors like Intel's Iris Xe and AMD's Radeon Integrated Graphics are technically supported in Video AI, we have found that very few processes will run at a usable speed without a dedicated graphics card installed.
Starlight Mini Requirements
- A requirement of an NVIDIA GPU with at least 8GB of video memory, but we strongly recommend a GPU with 16GB or more memory for optimal performance and quality; or an AMD GPU with at least 18GB of VRAM.
- One of the minimum NVIDIA GPU requirements, is that the GPU needs the compute capability of at least 7.0, which means all the legacy GPUs with compute capability smaller than this version is not supported, including GTX 10 series and Quadro P series.
- In addition to these GPU requirements, Starlight mini also requires a minimum of 12GB of system RAM.

Starlight Sharp Requirements:
- A requirement of an NVIDIA GPU with at least 16GB of video memory
- One of the minimum NVIDIA GPU requirements, is that the GPU needs the compute capability of at least 7.0, which means all the legacy GPUs with compute capability smaller than this version is not supported, including GTX 10 series and Quadro P series.
Topaz Video is not supported on Intel Mac computers, as they are not optimized for AI processing.
| Mac Operating System | Big Sur 11 and higher |
| CPU & Graphics Card | Apple M-series processor |
| System Memory (RAM) | 16 GB |
Note: Running the 'Rhea, Hyperion and Aion' Enhancement models requires macOS 13 Ventura or later. Some models will require a more recent OS for faster performance.
Starlight Mini Requirements:
- The recommendation for Mac is to have 36GB of RAM with an M-Chip
