So don't just buy this to stockpile it. But this is a very good deal.
There are other Topaz deals:
Video Enhance AI: $99.99 (upscales lower-res video)
Everything: DenoiseAI, GigaPixelAI, SharpenAI, VideoEnhanceAI $199.98 (I guess this is the same as buying the Image Quality bundle and VideoEnhance separately)

Does anyone know for the Video Enhance AI program, which hardware upgrade does that benefit the most from? More CPU cores? Adding more RAM? GPU upgrade?

Denoise is also strong

PC 1 is a 6700K with 64GB of RAM and a GTX 1060 6GB.
PC 2 is a 11700F (don't ask) with 64GB of RAM and an RTX 3070
PC 3 is a 3700X with 128GB of RAM (don't ask) and Quadro T600
The 1060 will 100% max out and it causes issues when it runs out of VRAM but with careful configuration you can get reasonable results over a *very* long period of time (figure 8-10 hours for every hour of footage upscaled.) Attempting to use the computer to stream YouTube or other video in the background usually haults the process with a 'device not ready' or 'VRAM exceeded' error.
The 3070 will run at about 60% usage and processes about 3-3.5x faster, does not run out of VRAM and the computer is responsive.
In all cases the CPU runs at about 30% utilization and the app heavily relies on the GPU.
The results of the 3070 and T600 are MUCH better as a result of some of the Turing (2000 series) optimizations which the 1060 doesn't support (as it doesn't have the hardware for it). The T600 runs almost identically to the 1060 in terms of speed (while being much less powerful).
So fast, good results, $$$$$ is 3070.
Slow, good, $$$ is T600
Slow, reasonable results, $$-$$$$ is 1060 6GB (I would *not* recommend a 3GB 1060.)
These systems use minimal RAM during the process, the maximum I've seen is 2GB for Topaz.
So.... I'd recommend a 2000, 3000, or TXXX/TXXXX (Quadro) series card before any other upgrade unless you're on a very old CPU. I would not recommend a PXXX or PXXXX (as they are Pascal, meaning 1000-series based, so they'll be much slower than the T series for the same price.)

Not bad considering what these usually go for.
- Occasionally it does miraculous things.
- Occasionally it makes photos worse (i.e. you need to review the results, just in case).
- Most of the time it does little to nothing.
I feel like the biggest problem with Sharpen AI isn't the tech' it is the workflow. The UI is designed for you to slowly review photos one by one making careful adjustments, which is both time-consuming AND a waste of time (i.e. the auto modes are about as good as it gets 99% of the time). What you really want is for it to process every photo as best it can in a batch, then let you quickly side-by-side them and pick the winning version. Essentially get out of the way and let me take whatever magic is available. As I said above when it does hit, which might only be a single photo a shoot, it can literally turn garbage into a completely usable photo.If you have a limited budget and don't already own DxO PhotoLab get that first, I'd take DeepPrime and ClearView Plus over Sharpen AI any time. DeepPrime and ClearView Plus improve almost every photo they touch, whereas Sharpen AI is a niche tool that occasionally works magic. Plus of course PhotoLab does far more than only those two enhancements, it is a complete Lightroom upgrade.
I have tried every AI upscaling software out there and for early SD low res quality DVDs to 1080p, this does a phenomenal job. I find the upscaling to 4k from 480p, while it can have phenomenal results at times, will mostly just be guessing too much and you end up with too much cartoon in the faces, but you are basically inventing 16x the data to get there.
I used to rip videos from old PSX videos and upscaled them to 4k with fantastic results though.
1080p to 4k is AMAZING!!!
Be aware that while you need a GPU, the algorithm on upscaling using the CPU is actually superior, but with my 5950x AMD CPU iit is still about 7 or 8x slower than my 3080 RTX GPU, so if you have a weekend to run or something, and the clip isn't too long, and you are looking for MAXIMUM quality, consider running with the CPU, not the GPU. For 95% of stuff you probably won't be able to tell the difference though.
This is a phenomenal deal, btw. I bought this on a sale when it was $200 for the AI Enhanced video and I have zero regrets. $85 off with the previously mentioned coupon, friend15, is just absolutely amazing, as long as you have the hardware to support it.
Coupon code still works. Used it on the Everything package, totalling around $170. Looking forward to using it!

Anyway, here's one implementation for those who know a little on how to code.
