Hi guys,

yesterday I got Neo extension pack and installed Noiseless AI. The output is indeed superior to legacy noise reduction, but I ran into performance issues.

Noisless AI takes 4-5 minutes to process a 26MP file - not usable in real-time workflow. Speaking of which, DXO does not make people wait like Luminar (prime denoise is confined within a small preview area, until the final export).

So, it seems that my computer needs an upgrade - and the question is what kind of upgrade would reduce time down to a few seconds? Your officially recommended minimal HW spec seems inferior to my current configuration.

So here is the question #1: if I spend the same kind of money, would I get better performance from Mac with M1/M2 chip (might be true if Luminar runs natively on Apple silicone), or from PC with Nvidia 3070/3080. I currently use PC but don't mind switching platforms, as long as Mac would process stuff faster than a PC.

Question #2, what kind of HW (processor - how many cores?, graphics card, memory) do you recommend to run AI plugins in real time (and to reduce the processing down to a couple of seconds)?

- Thanks

  Hi Maksim Pyatkovskiy,

  Before upgrading, could you kindly send us your current hardware configuration first? We'd like to offer you some steps that might improve the performance.

  • Press the Windows logo key + R.
  • Type msinfo32 in the dialog box that opens and hit Enter on your keyboard. 
  • In the window that opens, make sure you have System Summary highlighted on the left.
  • Click File > Export.
  • Type the file's name (you can choose any you like), save it somewhere where you can easily find it, and attach this text file to your support request via https://skylum.com/support.

  N.B. The links are clickable and show the screenshots that can guide you, if necessary.

  Here is the video tutorial on how to retrieve your system info: https://www.loom.com/share/97aff7951ee3412daa020f1d88eb36e8

  Thanks for the quick response. I attached the configuration to a ticket. I also wanted to mention how I dream for this outrageous war end. I still can't get over how something like this could have happened in 21st century.
