How well does DxO PhotoLab perform with JPEG'S compared to DxO PureRAW with RAW images?

I have a lot of JPEG'S.

It is not of very much use if you mean the noise reduction. The good DXO processing is from RAW files. I used to use Topaz for TIFFs.

I mean noise reduction plus the other adjustments like DxO PureRAW does with RAW files.

If you don't have the RAW images DxO PureRAW is useless for jpegs.

I have Topaz and don't use TIFF's.

You can’t use the noise reduction on jpegs in Photolab.

DxO Photolab can process jpegs, and most of the tools and adjustments work on jpegs.
There are some limitations. For denoising, only one method (Standard) is available. For WB, only the Temperature can be changed, from cooler to warmer.
It is understandable that one can do more with raw files, less with jpegs, yet jpegs can be improved by additional processing.
If you have the latest Topaz (in Photo AI or Gigapixel), see if you may like the effect of upscaling (even slight, e.g. by 10%). This involves some denoising and sharpening in addition to increasing the pixel size. There is no guarantee that the result should be to your liking, but might be worth trying anyways.

The Topaz has less NR applied so much more detail. I'm sure they can all be tweaked to look similar, but never exactly the same.
