Hi Justin,

Give me a good 720p quality/bitrate with multi-channel sound & I'm pretty much set.

Topaz AI (for enhancing/upscaling) has made some great progress recently on optimizing their software for Nvidia cards & runtime.

Using current Nvidia Studio Driver release.

The upscaling of "The Last of Us" current episode to 1920x1080p took less than an hour with Topaz AI v3.1.6 Proteus model on my main system running in background.

Results are fantastic.

This Cat/Mouse/Cheese situation will continue into the future.

Also upscaling via Roku Ultra and/or TV's abilities also helps a lot.

If it's a series, I just run 2 processes at a time of Topaz AI without any negative effect on other downloading, browsing or software usage in Windows. Or maybe fire up the other windows machine with my older 2070 Super & let it run processes too.

(Notice due to this forum's processing of the photo, it doesn't appear as large as it is, but it is 1920x1080p)

The 720p for The Last of us Episode 7 can be duplicated, the developers will look into it.

Episode 8 also. Plus a bunch of other downloads in 720p.
