@intruder I haven't yet looked in detail at the results after a scene change. I'm pretty sure it won't be as good, but by how much I don't know. Since we are dealing with commercial software the precise way they implement the super resolution concept is not known. It is one of the fastest implementations though, with upscaling speeds that approach real time.

@towne32 The lables are correct. Any upscaling algorithm will have some artifacts. Some of the "details" reconstructed will be phony details caused by apparent structure in noise. Whether these are acceptable I guess is a matter of taste. In the end it's all about the improvement compared to the low resolution version, and to what extend you can approach the 1080p original. Personally I think the amount of detail that is reconstructed is pretty impressive, and that it is a massive improvement over the bicubic upscale. All things considered, I find the artifacts to be pretty minor.
