Apple machines only ship with Intel CPUs (but AMD dGPUs, however the software generally uses Intel QSV). Premiere Pro only decodes with Intel, for example. So, people aren't keeping old AMD builds the way you are so many 3rd-4th gen Intel builds still in use. You need an APU or AMD GPU for that.ĪMD pre-Ryzen CPUs and APUs were also terrible, and generally only found in budget machines and cheap gaming builds. Ryzen CPUs don't have iGPUs which means no UVD/VCE. The paid version is cheaper than Pro X and, in addition, you have lifetime support and not for the year that Magix gives you.ĩ0% of the industry prioritizes Intel because the vast majority of CPUs with encoder hardware are Intel machines.

The latest software includes performance optimizations to reduce overhead, improve model load times, and reduce VRAM usage. Incredible upscaling, 2-4x faster on NVIDIA RTX GPUs. The basic version of the program is free. This is the most powerful video upscaling software Topaz has ever released. If I do it, I immediately change the program to Davinci Resolve, which works without any problems on AMD processors and external graphics cards. I am currently working on Pro X but in the future I intend to switch to AMD processors. Unfortunately, Magix "promotes" the Intel. When coding to h.264 as shown, integrated graphics are used in i5 4690K. There is hardware support for HEVC export.
