Do you have any experience with Topaz and a 9070xt? I don't because my 9070 PC runs Linux but I do have a Topaz license that goes to like 5.1 that I use on an older PC with an Nvidia card that serves as my Windows only software computer

Benchmarks for the 9070xt seemed competitive for Topaz

I was hoping Topaz would release for Linux since they had beta versions available but they didn't update past 5.1 and then recently announced they were cancelling the Linux support plans and then they went full on subscription plans rather than buy once for a year of updates and then it's yours to keep

    I don't, I have a 6700xt I don't remember much about my settings but It's quite slow when upscaling to 4K.

    Someday I'll get a drive to install Windows on and test the version of Topaz I have with it. The Puget benchmarks with it and Topaz are good but don't know if my final version is recent enough to be stable with the 9070

    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

    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

    What models do you recommend usually for AMD cards?

    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

    No I meant in Topaz Labs.

    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

    Is Iris much faster than you, also how do you convert it?

    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.

    Iris I always use medium video quality source. Anything that needs low usually looks terrible on the upscale

    Thank you, may I ask why you downscale and then upscale again rather than just take what Iris gives you

    Iris is really good with faces. That's it's design. The reason is going from a high res up 4x takes too long and downscaling fuzzes up the picture a bit so things don't get too smoothed out when you upscale a 2nd time. Also there's a resolution limit on the upscale so can't get too large
