Supported GPUs also include all variants of these cards, including Ti, SUPER, and Max-Q versions. Additionally, NVIDIA Broadcast system requirements include 8 GB or higher RAM and have at least an Intel Core i5 8600, AMD Ryzen r5 2600, or better CPU. NVIDIA Broadcast doesn't support its non-RTX range of GPUs.
If you have a GTX GPU, you can use the noise removal functionality from Broadcast in its beta form, with the NVIDIA RTX Voice plugin. Unfortunately, there is no such workaround for the video enhancements.
Note: NVIDIA RTX 30 Series GPUs and AMD RX 6000 Series GPUs are in very limited supply as of now and constantly going out of stock.
