Is it worth buying a new GPU to reduce render times in PowerDirector?

I've been testing with a 20 second sample project with a 1080p30 video, fading transitions, a title and using ColorDirector for adjustments to saturation, constrast, vibrancy, etc, and noise reduction & sharpening.

That makes it near impossible to find out which process is eating up all that time.
Try one item, like sharpening, at a time

Then the drivers are a factor too.

No, not color correction or fix/enhance features to my knowledge, not a function of which GPU brand or iGPU. PhotoDirector does to my knowledge.
