Hello, I ran into an issue today trying out AVC Labs Video Enhancer AI today. I'm looking to start converting some of my dvd movies/shows (that's the only format that it's available in) to mkv upscaled files. I followed along to a youtube tutorial and when I went to use AVC it gave me this error message. Icurrently have this as my pc setup and would like to know what I would need to upgrade to to not get this error. I don't have a GPU card, my cpu has video graphic built in but I guess it isn't strong enough. It took 30 minutes to do a 30 sec video. Thanks

You could've easily listed your specs like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time. Which is what we tend to look for.

I don't have a GPU card, my cpu has video graphic built in but I guess it isn't strong enough. It took 30 minutes to do a 30 sec video.
This is where you're going to need a discrete GPU., something with at least 8GB's of VRAM.

+
Using these as a baseline, you shouldn't be looking at the minimum system's specs(meaning the GTX1050Ti).

Thanks for the tips and the reply. I'll remember this for next time. So you're saying I just need to get this GPU and not upgrade my cpu at all?
