[–] IonTempted@lemmynsfw.com 1 point 8 months ago (1 child) What models do you recommend usually for AMD cards? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] commander@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 child) 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 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] IonTempted@lemmynsfw.com 1 point 8 months ago (1 child) No I meant in Topaz Labs. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] commander@lemmy.world 1 point 8 months ago (1 child) 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.

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 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] IonTempted@lemmynsfw.com 1 point 8 months ago (1 child) If you have the full settings with Iris and Handbrake for me in a screenshot, thank you.

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 permalink fedilink source parent
