Nvidia launched Video Tremendous Decision early in 2023, leveraging the AI tensor cores within its GeForce RTX graphics playing cards to intelligently upscale and clear up grainy movies. We examined the characteristic and declared that utilizing Video Tremendous decision is like going from VHS to Blu-ray. VSR is especially helpful for older video content material that doesn’t look nice on trendy screens with excessive resolutions. The expertise can be helpful when you don’t have sufficient web bandwidth for greater resolutions.
Just like Nvidia’s well-known DLSS (Deep Studying Tremendous Sampling) and DLAA (Deep Studying Anti-Aliasing) applied sciences, Nvidia depends on machine studying to enhance picture high quality. To make use of VSR, you want an Nvidia GeForce graphics card from the RTX 30- or RTX 40-series sequence, the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers for on-line movies, VLC for native movies, and the most recent Nvidia Sport Prepared or Studio drivers.
It’s unclear why the RTX 20-series GPUs are excluded, though these graphics chips are additionally DLSS-capable and presumably have appropriate {hardware} for VSR. It’s potential that Nvidia can even assist these graphics playing cards sooner or later, nevertheless.
If web bandwidth is proscribed or the video is just out there in a low decision, then Nvidia’s VSR helps to render the content material in the next decision very quickly.

To activate VSR, first open the Nvidia Management Panel by right-clicking on the desktop deciding on its entry within the context menu. Within the left sidebar of the Nvidia Management Panel, navigate to “Video” below “Customize video settings” and activate the “Super resolution” checkbox below “RTX video enhancement.”

Within the “Quality” drop-down menu you may choose the specified degree of upscaling. Observe right here {that a} greater degree supplies higher outcomes, but additionally requires extra GPU sources, as we defined in our deep-dive testing of Video Tremendous Decision. When you’ve made your adjustments, click on on “Apply” and shut the management panel.
Then open your browser (or VLC) and begin a video of your selection that has a decision between 360p and 1440p. VSR comes into play routinely if you play the video in full-screen mode. This fashion it can save you bandwidth or get pleasure from your favourite movies on YouTube in excessive decision that higher fits your high-resolution monitor.
Nvidia’s VSR makes use of machine studying and the GPU’s devoted AI sources to scale content material at the next decision and in actual time. A most of 4K decision is presently potential.
