Hardware specifics.

[ginogini]

Hello, everyone.

I'd like to start making deepfakes for fun (no porn). 
I have these specifics in my PC:

Operating System
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i5 4570 @ 3.20GHz 88 °C
Haswell 22nm Technology
RAM
16,0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-25)
Motherboard
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. H87M-PLUS (SOCKET 1150) 117 °C
Graphics
SyncMaster (1920x1080@60Hz)
SyncMaster (1280x1024@60Hz)
1024MB ATI AMD Radeon R7 200 Series (XFX Pine Group) 47 °C

I know my specifics are not top but I wonder if I can start doing something with this.
Which hardware do you suggest me to buy to improve and make deep fakes in hours instead of days?

I think at least I need a new graphic card. Maybe a GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti WINDFORCE OC 4 G 4 GB GDDR5 128 Bit PCI Express 3 HDMI/DP/DVI
should be ok?
Thank you everyone.

Hiya and welcome!

You're really gonna struggle to make anything with those specs mate. With a GTX 1050 you'll have some luck, but higher resolution models might be too much for it. To train an AI you need as much GPU memory as possible, then the more processing you can throw at it the quicker it'll train. The GTX 1050 only has 4GB of memory. Realistically you need at least 6GB to train a high resolution model. You might want to look at a GTX 1060 6GB / GTX 1660 ti instead. Alternatively, Google offers free access to their Cloud for training through Google Colab. There's a great guide to get you set up in the Guides section

NASA might be able to hook you up   

Making DeepFakes takes patience, especially at first. Once you train a model for Person A -> Person B, then you can start to reuse it after only a 6-24 hours of retraining. To train it first, you're looking at 1-2 weeks. This video is a nice simple way to get started with DFL.

Sorry if I just answer now. I didn't notice the notify about this reply. I bought an MSI GEFORCE 1660 6GB. I'll mount it in my PC later today. Do you think I could encounter some bottleneck with these specifics? Can an i5 CPU work well with this graphic card? 
Thanks for the link to the guide. I already have begun to follow that guide on this forum and I'm trying to add my face on Shia Lebouf body. At the learning moment, I've got a memory error (this with my old graphic card) so I stopped, I bought the new graphic card and now I'm waiting for it to arrive XD.
Why did you say that I'll need 1-2 weeks for the learning O_O?
Why so much time?

It is learning, in a similar way to you or I learn using trial and error.

While it can do this quicker than we can, it is not a god. If I asked you to go from drawing stick figures, to painting like Da Vinci in one day... it would be crazy. Each time you train a new model, it is learning to paint the persons face from every angle. Going from nothing, to something realistic and amazing.

1-2 weeks is impressive on current technology.

Could you give me an help in this thread?

I am upgrading my GPU (GTX 1060 6GB), which one of these 3 should I buy?
 
- GTX 1080 8GB (not TI version)
- RTX 2060 6GB
- RX 5700 8 GB (not XT version)

thanks

Idk how well AMD drivers run vs Nvidia, but $/performance in gpu.benchmarks, the 5700 is better than the GTX 1080. Instead of a GTX 1080, you could get a 5700XT instead for ~$400.
