If top-notch video quality is extremely important to you, then you’re in luck as we have some exciting news to share with you today. Nvidia today announced a new AI scaling tool at the CES 2023 GeForce Beyond stream. It’s called RTX Video Super Resolution and is designed to upscale video from 1080p to 4K in Chrome and Edge browsers. However, it only works on computers with RTX-40 and RTX-30 series GPUs. To see the side-by-side tool comparison in action, watch the video below.
As you can see in the video, the RTX Video Super Resolution tool cleans up any jagged bits using the power of AI tensor cores built into modern GeForce GPUs. This is achieved by removing blocky compression artifacts, which are large blocks of pixels that cause distortion. This cleans up the input nicely and then increments it. The idea is to improve video quality on larger screens and make watching your favorite shows more enjoyable. However, this tool does not have any effect on the games you play. This only affects videos you stream from your browser. For games, you will need to use DLSS (in games that support it).
For now, the only upscaling option is 1080p to 4K. I’m not sure about you, but I’m pretty damn excited as I’m the kind of person who regularly streams videos from my PC. Upgrading video quality is a huge plus, especially in my family. Nvidia’s artificial intelligence tool will become available this February.
