For those users who don’t own RTX 30 or RTX 40 series GPUs, good news. Microsoft has introduced their own version of the video upscaling feature baked in directly to the Edge browser, appropriately named Edge Video Super Resolution. The company has listed both NVIDIA RTX 20, 30, 40 series and AMD Radeon RX 5700 – RX 7800 series will support the feature. (We’re not sure why RX 7900 series is omitted here – it could be a typo on their part).

Microsoft’s version of the upscaling tech will come with a bit more limitations, including: upscaling will work on videos below 720p but no smaller than 192×192; DRM-protected content (such as Netflix) will not work with this feature; and AC power is required (though the company is working on further utilizing systems that contain multiple GPUs, such as laptops.)

Half of the Edge’s Canary development channel userbase should receive the experimental feature as part of the test right now, but it will be rolled out officially at a later date. Should you want to try it out, enter this web address to enable the flag:
