How to Choose the Right Graphics Card for Redaction Studio

When using video processing software like Redaction Studio, the performance can be greatly enhanced by using a more powerful graphics card or machine. It’s generally a good idea to start with the machines you currently have to test the application. If you experience slow performance, this may indicate a need to upgrade to more powerful hardware. Video processing programs often require substantial computational resources and can run slowly or encounter interruptions on less powerful machines. To enhance the software’s performance and efficiency, investing in better hardware, especially upgrading the graphics card, can make a significant difference. This upgrade can lead to faster processing times and a smoother overall experience when working with video files.

The speed of AI detection is highly influenced by the video graphics card. To achieve the best performance, we recommend using a video card such as the “Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070” or a higher model. Fortunately, if budget constraints prevent you from acquiring these specific cards, CaseGuard has been tested and supports a wide range of video cards. Below is a list of video cards that have been tested with CaseGuard for reference:
