God, I hate up-scaling with a passion. Lowering your render resolution does a much better job of improving performance and maintaining quality. This was something everyone seemingly knew up until recently. More importantly it doesn't take extra processing power just for the end result to look like crispy fried shit.

iirc some GPUs have dedicated upscaling cores, so theoretically in that scenario there should be little/no hit to performance when doing upscaling
