After like a month upscaling hundreds of blu-ray ripped movies + old torrent ones. This is how I sum up all of the models that will give you the best result for the source input.
*Artemis HQ v11 => for good quality movies, films with at least 4000kbps+ bitrate for 720p, 6000kbps+ bitrate for 1080p. I use this most of the time for present blu-ray sources from 2010 till now.
*Artemis MQ + LQ => halo effects with trees and bushes for videos under 720p only. Best for 720p + 1080p with medium compression + artifacts only.
*Artemis AA + Gaia CG => same thing with minor differences. Pick Artemis AA for fast + medium quality. Pick Gaia CG for slow + good quality. I only use these models when my source input is 480p or 720p (bad quality). This will slightly sharpen and reduce noise + block without having weird faces or blurry effect from Artemis MQ + LQ. I recommend using Artemis AA if movie, Gaia CG if anime.
*Gaia HQ => Artemis HQ on steroids, but motion consistency is what I donât like. Recommended for 720p and above with medium compression and artifacts. Best with 1080p with <1% motion flicker. Good for slow movies, bad for fast paced movies. Only use if Artemis MQ + LQ canât please you. Otherwise, use Artemis HQ if the input is already considered good.
*Theia Fidelity + Detail => Artemis with customization, only use if you know what youâre doing. Thatâs it. If you donât, ignore it.
*Dione => sorry, still not have enough time with it since most of my sources are Progressive.
âTL;DR:
*720p/1080p above medium/good quality => Artemis HQ for fast, Gaia HQ for slow but more details (consider using it if your source has medium quality)
*480p/720p under medium quality => Gaia HQ
480p/720p @&$ quality => Gaia CG (slow speed-good quality-motion flickering)/Artemis AA (fast speed-medium quality-less motion flickering)
