AuraSR Giga Upscaler V1 by SECourses — Upscales to 4x
AuraSR is a 600M parameter upsampler model derived from the GigaGAN paper. It works super fast and uses a very limited VRAM below 5 GB. It is deterministic upscaler. It works perfect in some images but fails in some images so it is worth to give it a shot.

I have developed 1-click installers and a batch upscaler App.
