For upscaling, check out chaiNNer: github.com/chaiNNer-org/chaiNNer
And openmodeldb: openmodeldb.info
It’s quite possible your PC can do it with Vulkan just fine, and if not, you can rent something online pretty cheap.
Also, for video processing, if you know any Python check out vapoursynth.
This highlights the problem: the primary obstacle to a lot of software enshittification is accessibility, and discoverability.
Once something like Topaz or Premiere gets SEO, it starves all the other cool efforts out there as they get buried under spam.

Honestly this is more complicated as I’m looking for something that just works, maybe I’ll set it up later and yeah I’ve got an AMD GPU so upscaling is much much slower.

See: openmodeldb.info/docs/faq
The GUIs are basically just as plug-and-play as Topaz.
