NEW BROWSER UPSCALER IS CRAZY! Nvidia Video Super Resolution | RTX VSR | Guide

[@CoolDonkey69]

In defense of NVIDIA , this is still in beta and its not train well enough for human face in low quality samples but when i tested it on a 480p vid without any human face i couldnt believe my eyes it was perfect. It almost looked like a 1080p vid to me and i love it. 100/10 Would recommend.

[@MyDeiATamphoreus]

testing a bit not work on 144 and 240p resolution, or maybe the gpu load is very small upscaling from 144p and 240p, on both though i can see huge artifacts masking in some parts of the video, possibly the lower the resolution the lower gpu load/usage. but decent on 360p above. 360p feels like 720p while 480p feels like 1080 but they are not perfect, smooth but not sharp like original resolution, great though for anime, most of the artifact and screen tearing is not face but objects with patterns such as roof top using music video a thousand miles - vannessa carter Hopefully nvidia will have a major leap with this just like dlss 1.0 to 2.0 , i'm using 1080p monitor and rtx 3050, the gpu load is there but not big like peoples said, on my rtx 3060 normal video playing eat 8w while a 480p eat 24w around 3x times of normal video playing using 3-4 quality setting

This really needs a simple on/of toggle directly built into video players. I've been waiting for it just for Sons Of The Forest VODs and am overall really happy with it in this regard, but it just looks so so so bad in camera videos.

[@Bry.89]

It over-smooths skin in motion and gives everything a bit of a painterly look to it similar to applying a make up filter on your phone. Hopefully over time they improve this like they do with DLSS and they can work on this sort of issue. But honestly, I'm gonna use this feature watching Twitch because it works wonders.

[@Malinkadink]

It's obscene, if you want a space heater in the winter while not playing a game its a good option lol, but if playing games at the same time I wouldn't use the feature at all except maybe at 1 quality setting, still some enhancement but very little usage.

It'll be interesting to see the videos as the program gets better at upscaling. I saw my first ultrawide res ( 3440x1440 ) on YT and it looked incredible. Now I want to go back and see what upscaling can do with it.

[@바보Queen]

this is a game changer, god dam DRM on streaming sites capping at 1080p sometimes 720p! its insane

[@ml-qq5ek]

As a long time user of MadVR for up scaling to 4k. I called it back when VSR was first announced that AI ain't going to magically make low bitrate video on the internet become 'high quality' The difference between VSR level 4 and off on is quite subtle as i expected (slight improvement, exactly the same as upscaling with madvr). Work best with animations. Result is nothing like the black magic video 'Introducing RTX video super resolution" by nvidia. It is a nice little bonus feature to have but you aren't really missing out on much if you don't access to it. High quality source no upscaling > Low quality source with upscaling VSR is a good alternative to MadVR if you don't need Tonemapping.

[@pdub420]

Any way to get madVR working in browsers? I love it for upscaling content that isn't in 4K.

[@harveyreynolds7108]

Did it with chrome and looks no different

[@MyDeiATamphoreus]

Here some my testing using 1080p monitor on rtx 3050 1. Old video from 90s dont get any boost at all, if the source lacking detail there's almost no scaling at all 2. Anime and 3d cartoon runs great with this you can see the difference just by using 360p 3. 144p and 240p seems not working at all or too low, need 360p min to work, using 144p and 240p will result in screen tearing / artifacts masking 4. The load in watt is varied scene by scene , on level 4 quality the gpu power draw jumps from 8 to 24watt on my rtx 3050 with max 130w so it eats around 20% of gpu capabilities 5. Quality 2 vs 4 the difference is very minor but is there if you zoom but for watching qualitg 2 is fine 6. Quality 2 vs 4 is averaging 18watt vs 24 watt in my rtx 3050 around 6 watt different The rule is what upscaling tech based, a minimal detail / pixel required to enhance the quality Hopefully nvidia also does MEMC function too 120fps for anime and 3d cartoon is very great

[@zpotato1346]

i got a 4k monitor, i open and update m.edge to latest, i go on to twitch stream 1080p source, turn it on, Q4, apply ! nothing changes to my eyes , i turn it back off, nothing changes ! over and over again for 10 minutes but still cant see a difference !!!! am i blind boiz ? lol

[@Kemendil]

I've updated my nvidia driver, my Chrome browser is up to date, super resolution is enabled in the settings, and it doesn't do anything. Both video quality and GPU power usage remain the same whether it's on or off. (My native resolution is 1440p, and my GPU is 3060 Ti.)

[@alexandrews2585]

I'd love to see how it deals with animation, one of the medias that suffers the most from compression (fk Netflix)

You gotta check the GPU power consumption that comes with this, its almost as high as if you are gaming. Not sure if its really worth it thou if watching every video is going to push your GPU that hard.

[@skychaos87]

i keep mine at 2. i have a 3080, setting it to four seemed to keep the VRAM hovering at 80c for no reason

[@Miyaki497]

The issue I have is that it feels like a Vaseline effect to faces. Like a "pretty" tiktok filter that removes fine details in the face and makes it look plasticy and fake. It definitely needs to be more refined before I consider enabling it cause the content I usually watch is skits and tech videos, which is a lot of talking heads. It does feel like this was intended to reduce the blockyness of video game streams and not much else.

[@GarethDavidson]

I think you need to try it on videos that aren't scaled down, like old videos from VHS or DVD

[@kakashi99908]

So really this removes issues from bad scaling rather than upscaling. i.e it doesnt make 720p 4k. It makes 720p have less artifacts due to scaling issues.

[@snakemgr12]

Surprised you didn't use Tom's "AI scared me video" as super resolution is literally a product of what he was talking about. Thanks for the explanation, had to check this out for on my 3070, it used about 30-40% of my gpu while on (~10% increase from normal) the usage varied on streamed quality. Strangely I didn't see a change in utilization between 1 and 4, quality seems to have changed though, so load must be the same but with different algorithm (just my theory, don't quote me pls). Overall good upgrade but going for native will always be better. 1440p monitor btw.

[@Malinkadink]

My browser needed a complete restart after changing quality settings to actually get it to update. The difference in power usage is very large on my 3080 using quality 1 vs 4, you cannot simply look at task manager for % usage, something like msi afterburner can show what clockspeeds you're running as well as power usage or hwinfo. Personally I wouldn't go above 1 or 2 quality level especially if planning to play games at the same time if I'm already GPU bound then having the video enhancement using up GPU resources on the side at the cost of framerates isn't great.

[@Wigglythegreat2]

The problem with it right now is it uses too much gpu power, produces more heat, and if you have a laptop then the fans will get to be annoying with this enabled. I have an Asus G18 with a RTX 4080 and it's not worth it to use this feature. I have to try it out on my gaming desktop to see if it works out better as it has a whole lot more cooling.
