NVIDIA RTX Video Super Resolution Set To Release In Late February

A developer in NVIDIA has confirmed the R530 driver branch will support the video-upscaling feature.

First unveiled in CES 2023, NVIDIA’s RTX VSR (Video Super Resolution) can upscale videos online by utilizing the GPU’s Tensor Cores, and the GPU vendor has said the rollout will begin soon. Now we have more specific timeline, courtesy of NVIDIA’s Software QA, Manuel Guzman.

The RTX VSR requires a new driver to work on select RTX GPUs – the said driver, which should begin with number 53x.xx (thus R530), is expected to arrive “later this month”. The feature, once supported, will reside in a section within NVIDIA Control Panel; the company further clarifies that this feature will not be available to laptops that run on battery (they need to be plugged in for this feature to work), citing power consumption reasons.

RTX 40 and 30 series users should see the feature available first on Google Chrome (beginning version 110 update), with RTX 20 series users getting the feature at a later date.
