    Do you have any recommendations, I used to upscale and restore old Trailers, Videos, Porn and etc. I don’t remember what model I used but I always used flowframes for 60fps interpolation

      Topaz is absolutely the best. There are other commercial software out there that’s talked up a bit but everything i’ve read says Topaz is still better. Free stuff, nothing really comes close. There’s this that i hope get’s better and more developer interest. Available on Linux and Windows

      https://github.com/TNTwise/REAL-Video-Enhancer

      If you’re Windows only, there’s this. It’s more mature in development

      https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI

      But Topaz is better than everything else. It’s why I grabbed a used laptop with an Nvidia GPU for a good price

      The free stuff is real hit or miss with real life video. Animations generally always looks good

          I buy XFX. I think Sapphire is really well regarded. I feel like I had a Sapphire ATI card a long time ago. Pretty sure XFX and Sapphire are the major time tested brands. You can probably be good buying the cheapest brand though

              Oh. I like doing a round 4x in Iris and then converting it down and doing a 4x in Proteus. A lot of times Iris is enough. The newer starlight mini everyone says is way better especially with not making terrifying faces when there’s not enough data but I’m not subscribing again for that

                  Iris does seem faster to me compared to Proteus. Didn’t see much use for me from like Gaia compared to Proteus. I convert down resolution with Handbrake with a pretty high quality target for h264 and then run it again in topaz with Proteus. 4x with Iris, than resolution back down by 4 and then 4x back up with Proteus. I feel like Iris + Proteus gives a real good result for low resolution content

                    If you have the full settings with Iris and Handbrake for me in a screenshot, thank you. I wanna upload some content when I’ll return to Reddit.
