How to: Find The Best Hardware to Increase Export Times in CaseGuard Studio

This article provides benchmark results for AI-powered facial (head) detection exports in CaseGuard Studio. These tests are designed to give users an understanding of how different system specifications can affect export performance when working with AI video redaction.

Test Details

• Task: AI Video Redaction (Head/Facial Detection)

• Video Duration: 38 minutes, 5 seconds

• Redaction Type: AI-powered head detection

System Specifications and Export Times

Findings

1. GPU Performance Matters

   • System 1, equipped with the NVIDIA RTX 3080, completed the export ~15% faster than System 2 with the RTX 2070 Super.

   • This indicates that GPU power significantly impacts AI-based video redaction, especially when processing longer or higher-resolution videos.

2. CPU Impact

   • The Intel Core i7-12700KF (System 1) outperformed the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X (System 2).

   • While redaction tasks rely heavily on GPU acceleration, a modern high-performance CPU helps reduce bottlenecks in overall processing.

3. Storage & Memory

   • Both systems had 32 GB DDR4 RAM, which was sufficient for this workload.

   • Storage type (SSD) had minimal impact on export speed for this test, though SSDs remain critical for smooth media handling and overall system performance.

Conclusion

• System 1 (Intel i7-12700KF + RTX 3080) achieved the best results, completing the 38-minute redaction export in 13 minutes, 8 seconds.

• System 2 (Ryzen 7 3800X + RTX 2070 Super) took 15 minutes, 27 seconds for the same task.

• For optimal AI video redaction performance, we recommend:

  • A high-performance GPU (RTX 3080 or better)

  • A modern multi-core CPU

  • At least 32 GB of RAM

  • SSD storage for efficient media handling

These benchmarks show that CaseGuard Studio scales efficiently with more powerful hardware, allowing users to save time on exports and improve overall workflow efficiency.
