Upscaling a 1080p to 4K is worse detail-wise than seeing said 1080p in a 1080p screen. Yes, you're retarded, using gimmicks to fix a problem you yourself created.
LOL. Do you thought I said that? This means increasing encoding complexity - which affects WHOLE INFRASTRUCTURES. They're reaching a wall, specially due to processors.
Yep, you're REALLY retarded. Go shitpost elsewhere.

If you can't see a major improvement, see a doctor.
GPGPU has advanced to the point where the entire codec can be run on the shader pipeline, and GPU power is filthy cheap. As for lower-quality realtime encodes, AV1 ASICs will be ready about a year after the spec is frozen.

One day processing power will be large enough to run waifu2x as a real-time video upscaler.

Maybe for old 2D vidya on a barely affordable screaming quad-SLI rig, but barring major optimization, probably not for 1080p-4k upscales.
For console games, probably the best approach is offline-upscaled spritepacks using special emulators:

There's nothing I hate more than these sentiments.

Isn't there an OpenCL port of waifu2x? And what about the CUDA acceleration is has? Who knows, it could be in a few years for 1080p.
Does it use double or single precision? I wonder if using half precision would make a big difference since it's twice as fast on newer GPUs. It might still look better then NNEDI3.

Waifu2x actually looks fucking ugly on anything that isn't very specific moeshit anime.

It's almost like it's been specifically trained for this dataset.
