Nvidia’s system is limited to GeForce RTX 3000 and 4000 GPUs, while Microsoft’s implementation can tap both Nvidia and AMD GPUs, but it’ll only upscale videos below 720p resolution.
Microsoft is joining Nvidia in offering a way for users to upscale low-quality internet videos by tapping their computer’s GPU.
The experimental Video Super Resolution feature is coming to Microsoft’s Edge browser as a beta in the Canary Channel. It promises to sharpen images and add clarity to low-resolution grainy videos by using AI algorithms running on a computer’s GPU. Once activated, the feature can upscale the video on the Edge browser, including from YouTube and other streaming services.
