But I always use HQ (now Gaia-HQ) as it’s the one with better results by my judgement and using my videos, it can be different with your videos and taste. What preset you use (Gaia or Artemis) probably depends on what your source material is, so there’s not a ‘recommended setting’. If one thing can be said, though, is that some users have better final results if first only using the 100% denoise/deblock and then upscaling, but that can take up to double the time compared to if you only upscale, more like using a second-pass while encoding video, so you should think what’s better. I had to rollback from 1.2 to 1.1 (1.2 was taking way too long to encode), but in 1.2 using 100% or 200% in resource priority wouldn’t change anything, and anything more than that would result in either the same or crashes. You can choose what preset (Gaia-HQ ,Gaia-CG, and the Artemis flavours, but artemis still looks like garbage for most cases) it will use and that’s pretty much it.

To be fair, as of now, we don’t have much settings to go.
