Idk i have had a lot of luck using Artemis medium or low quality as input condition for for lower quality videos. only use x2 upscale. Unfortunately my computer is old and takes way to long so I dont change frames (that could make it better idk, probably not)

It depends on what one would define as "better". If you're going for sharpness, sure, Iris and artemis can yield perfectly sharp results but they come at a great cost. Both Artemis and Iris are aggressive skin softeners and denoiser. Whereas Proteus, another popular model for low quality videos, is an aggressive sharpener and dehazer. They all have their own unique qualities, or flaws depending on the person. If it looks good to you go for it. But if the goal is to preserve fine details, such as freckles, and blemishes, then Gaia is the way (1080p and up). Anything lower I don't even bother, waste of time imo.

Quick tip for those who care:

If you own an Nvidia GPU, and are familiar with DLSS technology in gaming, they have (more or less) the same tech for video playback called RTX Video Super Resolution which can be enabled in Nvidia Control Panel. It allows you to upscale and view all videos in 4k and in real time (without having to first render in topaz) with compatible video playback softwares like VLC and Pot Player. The upscale is not as good as Topaz Gaia, but it is still very good. It serves as a good starting point whenever you find yourself wondering whether or not a video could be adequately upscaled in Topaz to an acceptable level of realism.
