After unpacking, make a copy of the file vulkan-1.dll.
Then make a copy of the file vk_swiftshader.dll. Rename this copy to vulkan-1.dll
Now you have the CPU acting as a software renderer.
Select Digital Art upscale method.
Upscale to 2x.
After it finishes, click the three dots on the right and share this image or just mention the time taken.

This is the time taken by 245KF non-overclocked ring 42 D2D 35 NGU 32 DDR5-7200C36.
Better not try to benchmark something less than a 20 thread CPU for the sake of your sanity as it will be really, really slow.
Without the file copying trick, it uses the GPU and it is much faster that way. But consider the case where you are living in the middle of nowhere and your GPU just died and you have an important image you need to upscale. This is the answer.
Happy benchmarking!
