A new update to Chrome ushers in Nvidia's RTX Video Super Resolution. Here's everything you need to know about it.
Exciting new Nvidia tech is coming to Google Chrome, and on the browser side, the update is ready. We’re talking about Nvidia’s RTX Video Super Resolution , which is said to support upscaling up to 4K.Introducing RTX Video Super Resolution - 4K AI Upscaling for Chrome & Edge Video The latest update to Google Chrome, which brings it up to version 110.0.5481.77, is what you’ll need to try out Nvidia’s RTX VSR.
It’s fun to imagine the kind of things VSR could be used for. Nvidia’s own GeForce Now seems like an obvious candidate. On the other hand, upscaling to 4K does seem like something Nvidia might want to lock behind a membership tier instead of offering it for free, so it’s hard to say with any certainty whether GeForce Now will receive the RTX VSR treatment.
While the feature will be available by default in the browser, you will still have to dive into the Nvidia Control Panel to enable it on your end before you can use it. Similarly, you will only be able to try it out if you own one of Nvidia’s best graphics cards — the upscaling tech is restricted to RTX 30-series and RTX 40-series GPUs.
