I've watched quite a few videos on and there is a pretty common theme. Some like DXO or Topaz or ON1 better and others like Adobe. What they say is if you have other 3rd party apps you may as well keep them and use the one that works best for you. If you don't have 3rd party apps don't waste your money on them. Of course if someone requires faster speeds then you need to do what you need to do.
I know Adobe will make it faster so as an amateur I can wait it out. I had PureRaw 2, Topaz Photo AI, DeNoise and Gigapixel. All removed off my OS now except Topaz Sharpen AI which I don't use often. I was never a big on upscaling. I only got Giga to get a deal on Photo AI. For me it was like a big weight lifted off my shoulders. No more trying to decide what to use and this fall (next March for PureRaw) I won't be deciding which one to renew.
