Video Super Resolution
RTX Video Super Resolution (RTX VSR) is a video scaling feature by Nvidia. It was released on February 28, 2023.[1][2]
History
The feature was first unveiled during CES 2023 as RTX Video Super Resolution.[3] It uses the on-board Tensor Cores to upscale browser video content in real time.[4] Video Super Resolution was initially only available on RTX 30 and 40 series GPUs, while support for 20 series GPUs was added afterwards; it is now available on all Nvidia RTX-branded GPUs.[5] The feature supports input resolutions from 360p to 1440p and a max output of 4K and comes without support for HDR content although that could be likely added in the future.[6][7]
Nvidia released RTX Video Super Resolution 1.5 with improved video quality and RTX 20 series support on October 17, 2023.[8]
Reception
According to the German online magazine ComputerBase, although "the algorithm is not yet working flawlessly", the feature is "overall recommendable".[9]
