Nvidia RTX Video Super Resolution will help GeForce owners enjoy higher-quality video than ever before, thanks to VSR’s AI upscaling of web-based video content.
Nvidia’s new RTX Video Super Resolution (VSR) is a feature of Nvidia’sRTX 30 and RTX 40-series Nvidia GPU that lets them upscale any video content they play within the Chrome or Edge browser. The effects are modest but tangible, and with further development could have far-reaching effects beyond simply letting users enjoy higher-quality video. These include easier access to higher-end game streaming on Nvidia’s GeForce Now and lowering global streaming bandwidth usage.
If you’re itching to try out the new video upscaling feature, here’s how to use RTX VSR in a few steps.What do you need to run Nvidia RTX VSR?
Getting RTX VSR up and running isn’t too difficult. In fact, the biggest hurdle is making sure you have the required hardware and software for the job. You’ll need an Nvidia graphics card from one of the most recent generations. At the time of writing, Nvidia is restricting the feature to its latest RTX 30 and 40-series graphics cards; that’s RTX 3050 and up, though you’ll only be able to use the higher quality settings on RTX 3070 and RTX 4070 Ti or better, GPUs.
Nvidia has said, however, that it plans to bring the feature to older RTX 20-series cards in the near future, but since, „the algorithms for RTX Video Super Resolution need to be refactored for these 20 series GPUs,“ there is no timeline for this to happen.
