RTX Video Super Resolution is a new AI upscaling tool from Nvidia, though this one's not intended to make your games look or run any better. It is still going to be pretty handy for gamers though, as it takes regular 1080p videos from your browser and transforms them into 4K.
The new tool uses AI to improve the quality of video streaming for recent Nvidia graphics card owners. It works by removing blocky compression artefacts and then upscaling video resolution—so cleaning the input then blowing it up to the big screen. From Nvidia's videos of the feature so far, it appears the only option is 1080p -> 4K upscaling.
Nvidia says the end result should offer a big improvement to video clarity on high resolution displays where otherwise the image might look a little worse for wear. In the company's CES 2023 Special Address, it showed an Apex Legends clip looking quite a bit better with RTX Video Super Resolution enabled. Here's hoping it's universally as impressive.
RTX Video Super Resolution is set to launch this February, and I'm keen to try it out for myself when this feature is available. I wonder how well it works on all different types of video—Will it work best on gameplay videos, which is where Nvidia's already shown its expertise with its Deep Learning Super Sampling feature, or is the upscaling algorithm smart in ways beyond merely rendered frames? I'd like to try it out on some gorgeous vista of a national park and see how it gets on.
Sounds useful for games with prerendered cutscenes that are 720p. Too bad I'll be switching to AMD when I can.
This feature needs to be used for all those games with horribly pre-rendered videos of anything less than 1920×1080 resolution. (e.g. Destiny 2)
OOOOOH I LIKE DAT
AMD has this technology for years, I use it in mmorpg, it improves the experience
Glad i got my 30 aeries when i did
This is why I always buy nvidia. You can get more frames per $ elsewhere but their AI-powered features are such game-changers.
kkkk que isso cara, nao tem limite mais
does dat kum 3tdGenTi, pweeze? :-D
