      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
