What is RTX Video Super Resolution?

RTX Video Super Resolution is an AI video upscaling technology that users AI and RTX Tensor Cores to improve your video quality that you are watching on VLC, browsers, Twitch, etc., by ignoring the blocky compression artifacts and upscaling video resolution. However, as I know these things help enhancing the video sharpness and clarity that let you watch both online as well as downloaded content.

What Does Video Super Resolution Do?

RTX Video Super Resolution that we are talking about takes video playback not in games but in something like Twitch Streamer or YouTube Video.

Further, it takes a low-resolution source from the stream and upgrades it using AI up to 4K resolution, depending on the number of settings that we are going to talk about further in this guide. The main work of this is supposed to enhance the clarity.

VSR claims that it leverages the presence of tensor cores in RTX graphics to improve the quality of video playback, and most especially, it works exceptionally well in 30 series and 40 series of NVIDIA RTX GPUs.

Although the 20 series has also been added to Nvidia’s list for this feature, in my opinion, it doesn’t work well with the 20 series, as our investigation shows.

Do you have an Nvidia RTX 30 or 40 series GPU, and you are wondering how to turn on the Nvidia RTX Video Super Resolution for upscaling? Then, let’s get started with the guide and see how you can enable it.
