For Stems 2.0 in Windows computers it's all about the video card.
Highly suggested to go with an nVidia RTX with at least 6gb video Ram.
Below are some average Speed stats ...
RTX 2060: 10x
RTX 2070: 12x
RTX 2080: 15x
RTX 3060: 15x
RTX 3070: 20x
RTX 3080: 30x

So the higher you go , the faster Real-time Stems separation will be

Alternatively for those with older laptops: offline stem processing can be done BEFORE the gig.

I only have a 2060 in my rig. Basically I'll make my event playlist at home. Drop it all into the STEMS folder, and let the laptop process it. Even if there are some requests that aren't analyzed, 90% of your set will be good to go at the gig.
