Nvidia’s RTX Video Super Resolution is… Meh…

- Let's get started with Nvidia, The company has been teasing their RTX augmented Video super-resolution feature for quite a while now, and just yesterday they finally launched it. In the original teaser videos, RTX VSR actually looks fantastic. I mean the clarity on all the close and far away objects is significantly improved, but… that’s just their marketing material. The end result with the actual released version of VSR is… meh.
To enable it, all you have to do is go into the Nvidia control panel and go to the adjust video image setting and it should be on the right. There are 4 levels of VSR, so you can adjust it to your liking. Keep in mind, this only works on RTX 3000 series of GPU’s and up.
A lot of outlets have posted screenshots of it in action like Tomshardware, Techpower up, and others, and the consensus seems to be that it barely makes a difference. In fact, some have even complained that on faces at lower resolutions, the end results sometimes looks worse because it kind of smooths the face over, and in other occasions the faces have an uncanny valley vibe to them because of the ai enhancements.

RTX Video Super Resolution is meant for live streams and honestly streams
on Twitch are looking crisp with it, very noticeable for me especially in reducing
streaming compressions and improving clarity
I’ve enabled it in the control panel, Chrome is updated to the latest version but doesn’t seem like it does anything to videos. Looks the exact same as before.
yeah been trying all day, i dont see it
it isn't about comparing native 1440 to upscaled 1440, for me personally it's mostly the surprisingly amazing upscale for the network data usages of 720p. as a student it's amazing that I get to save so much data for that quality
Meh
i either can't get it to work or the difference is so minuscule that i can't notice it.
i watches several 720p 10 year old videos and there's absolutely no difference.
but when i watch 2kliksphilip his video there's a noticeable difference..
my cpu temp goes up to 60°C when i have it on though...shouldn't it be my gpu? i even turned on hardware acceleration but to no avail.
maybe google chrome isn't working or i have to install an addon i am unaware of? what browser did you use?
Can't wait to compare win11 snip video quality and size with qq and my other daily apps had this function
I don't want my pc to look like a phone. I went back to win 10. I add videos with R mouse click and that extra step in 11 is completely ridiculous.
Also, I have a PC, not a phone. did I already say I don't want my PC to look like a stupid phone?
Another thing, Nvidia no longer makes GPUs so I got an RX 6800 after having had Nvidia since they exist. I am insanely happy with this thing.
It's not working on Google Chrome for me had to try it on MS Edge its good for old videos that are 720p but anything above that makes everything look weird
So this should theoretically free up bandwidth and storage limitations?
Yeah. I see a future of new compression algorithms that expect to be recovered using an AI wherever appropriate. This would be once AI-computing chips in everything becomes a thing, as it is slowly becoming.
It’s the same post processing you can get on some video players, but it’s not bad whatsoever. It’s awesome for old lo-res animated content.
wrong
If they instead of hiking prices like a crazy person, gave double the RT cores, it might have become useful by now.
someone's poor!
@@ndocds someone's a corpo slave!
It's not working for me at all
I just tried using RTX VSR and found out that it consumes so much power! for example the normal 1080p takes 18 watts from the GPU, and when enabling VSR it takes from 120-150 watts! and that's on a LAPTOP!
150 watts? bruh my whole notebook is 200
@@cleanlens Yes! 150 watts! you can check the video I made to see for yourself.
@@ExtremelySimplified lol cool
CZcams 1440P60 put my 3090 over 400w.
@@deeppurplefan wow! that's a lot!
i can't count VSR out yet since DLSS 1.0 was also overhyped by nvidia and turned out very underwhelming when introduced but then it got better in later updates with dlss 2.0-2.5
for VSR, it's good on twitch and ... streamed games with low quality.
for standard videos, VSR is not great and don't have much added value.
so for twitch streams the result is very good when the streamer has a low bandwidth available.
So the video quality does NOT look any different with it on and even at 4. I have chrome and edge updated and trying to watch moviesanywhere movies on full screen and the movie looks EXACTLY the same as before. Same with 1080p youtube movies. I have a 3440x1440 monitor. I thought it worked on a 2k monitor? I don't know
I'm on a 1440p monitor and I actually do notice a difference, specially streaming from like Hulu and Amazon Video, where they limit their streams to 720p or 1080p, the blocky artifacts are gone and overall the picture seems clearer and sharper. Also streaming hockey games where the action is fast is a noticeable improvement. No, will a 360p video look like 4k,of course not. If that's what you're expecting, you will be disappointed. But there are improvements. The extra power draw in minimal for me, running it at 4,set it and forget it
I honestly have never seen any change whatsoever. I can't tell if it's working ever. It says its on. they really need some indicator that lets you know something is actually happening. I have tried dozens of setting and spent hours with my 4070ti trying everything, not once, ever have I noticed any indication anything is happening whatsoever. I don't think anything is..
Nvidia Shield TV (latest ones) been using this for years
It works really good on anime. The lines that looked pixelated now look completely drawn out.
Thank god someone with a following said it. I was so let down by VSR dude. People on twitter were going bananas about it and I was so confused lol
on the Nvidia control panel when you turn this setting on, you got option too choose between 1-4 has anyone noticed difference or which is the better one?
4 is best, but Takes more utilization
4 is best, so yes lower it if you're gonna be playing games at the same time, but if you're gonna be gaming and watching videos, the video quality shouldn't be a top priority anyway
I use it for bluray movies saved to 720p and upscaled back to 4k. yes its not 100% perfect yet, but the amount of movies I can store is HUGE benifit for me my movies went from 80+ gb to 2-4gb per file and the watching experience is much better than watching native 720p
For me 720p upscaled to 1440p on firefox looks better than edge with vsr on the 4th setting
My actual real world review of Nvidia's new video super resolution is that it's great. If you have a 30XX or 40XX card you should turn it on and not listen to the negative Nancys. It's free and easy to implement. So what's the problem?
Power consumption
I would have never noticed it on a video if they were to give the VSR feature unannounced hiddenly in a driver update to let consumers notice it and be like -"Hey." I mean I would be able to count the wings of a fly in a flight to be that nitpicker. Literally no difference whatsoever (Vague effort). I am glad someone shares the same opinion here otherwise I was really concerned like as if I was the sole person on the planet with an alternative perception.
couldn't see much difference on my 3090 in any setting (1-4), but saw a HUGE power useage increase 220W+!!!
HOW that posible LOL, Everything is normal on my RTX 3070. GPU Utilization only take 2% and 14% while watching 480P videos
@@tahukotak692 what res is your screen? I'm upscaling to 4K. Others have posted similar power useage as me
@@iamdmc 1080P monitor
@@tahukotak692 that would be why. I'm upscaling from 1080p to 4K, so the GPU is working with 5 times more pixels input and 4 times more pixels on the output... All at 60 times every second. That massive power usage is expected when you reason it out, it's just surprising because the nvidia shield does it as well but more efficiently.
@@iamdmc I think almost everyone already knows that 1K vs 4K or 1 vs 4 or FHD vs QHD, 4 is larger than one or it's four times bigger. of course the process will run more than four times, so the framerate in video games or full 3D application scenarios at 4K/QHD resolution is smaller than 1K but has higher image quality than 1K/FHD because 4K have much more pixels than 1K.
And I didn't know you tried it at 4K resolution, I thought you were just trolling.
I haven't tried this feature at 4K resolution so it seems strange that just upscaling video in a browser can use up that much power
I finally moved over to Windows 11 a few weeks back. A seamless, completely painless and transparent migration. Glad I did it, and looking forward to new features.
Hey Snows. Sorry for not writing sooner. Some months back you mentioned about having back issue RE: a motor vehicle accident from memory? Is it back (spine) or more pelvic/hip? Something I have been dealing with myself for over 20 years now but finally am making great progess on 'fixing' it, gratefully finding a physiotherapist who actually 'gets' what the problem is. It's unlikely we have same or similar injury, but just wanted to reach out if by chance we did. Stay well my brutha.
if i enable super resolution on an laptop it will work?
yes
not working on my 4090 i've google chrome updated/enabled it in contorl panel, can't see any difference with it on or off and power consumption does not change
try it on MS Edge it worked for me there
It has to be enabled in the Nvidia control panel. As long as you have updated chrome, it's ok without you having to do anything
@@BootSequence gpu usage does not increase and i don't see any visual difference with it on or off in control pannel, it's not working no doubt about it but i dont know why
For me it's related to my TV's resolution, it doesn't work at native 3840x2160, but somehow works when I put my TV above the native res - 4096 x 2160. It's definitely a bug.
@@L4veyan i 've tried sadly didnt work for me, thanks for the trying to help
VSR was a big MEH... May be some later versions will be good. 😵💫
I think they will continue to improve it. What I don't understand is, why they can have the 4k upscaler on the NVIDIA Shield and yet not have the same or more powerful ability thru a stronger GPU than the Tegra+ ??
So far from what other's have sampled, it appears to have the most benefit at upscaling 720p. I hope down the line it might actually enable 8k upscaling.
I don’t know if it’s just me but I use a 4k monitor and everything looks too clean and sharp it’s honestly amazing especially with anime and twitch streams. However my 3060ti heats up to 70c when watching a video haha. I’ll probably turn it off for now as it uses resources and power consumption is too high for my liking.
It works the best with anime.
Meteor just to etch out 3D.
Does not do anything on laptop 3070ti (Acer Nitro 5 2022)
@swirl of silliness Managed to run this by manually pointing that my Chrome app should use dedicated 3070Ti card. It's influence most noticable on 360p resolution video.
LMFAO i searched on google. Nvidia’s RTX Video Super Resolution is… Meh… literraly the title lmfao!
I test and didn't notice any difference. Opera's video enhancer is way better than nvidia's super resolution.
I disagree, i turned rtx super res on on some of my favourite streamers and it massively improves corruption and compression artifacts.
what age are you wearing that cap back?..... jez
I was kinda excited about this until I saw the supported gpus, I only have 3050ti XD
Vsr is good with gameplay videos but not with faces
upscaling "polygons" is easier than upscaling real life videos.
I also think this thing was irrelevant.
Funny, did you know a Nvidia tech that is actually pretty good, and nobody is talking? It's the DLDSR. Can make a good 1080p monitor looks like a 4k one.
If you really want to see the difference try it anime or cartoon
1:40 Not true. Of course video data has motion vectors. These are used for decades now, longer than the TAA motion vectors in games.
The fact that a tech youtuber doesn't know how video compression works is satirical funny to me.
Game engines compute motion vectors that describe how the actual geometry is moving in the 3d game world. Video encoding uses a motion estimation algorithm. It's different. The motion estimation is like what nvidia does for its dlss 3 frame generation, where it uses an optical flow accelerator to interpolate the motion of blocks of pixels. nvidia, from what I remember, combines both capabilities to achieve dlss 3. For dlss 2 they use game engine motion vectors. And I imagine for this RTX super resolution they are using motion estimation.
I have a 4090 laptop, and diferente is huge, I'm taking it to work today so I can show my coworkers about this amazing technology, 480 looks like fhd, fhd looks like 3k . Amazing 👏
Chrome?
@@HawkSea yeah
How did you get it to work am trying all day 0 difference
Amd and nvidia should be aloud to merge. No more competition. Combine patients. Revolutionize gpus
then they have a monopoly over gpu market and can price as high as they want to
@@minty_x As should always be!
then your get a 3070 for the price of an entire gaming rig over 5k lol shut up with your retarded opinions please
RTX became MTX or Meh-TX LOL
@@rustyclark2356 By that time when we can really reach the full potential of current generation of video cards then the bottleneck already shifted to CPU and RAM and consequently the motherboard which if we upgrade in the future may represent a challenge to utilize with current generation of PCI-E cards.
For me this VSR is trash..., there is no actual real diference, dosent work in low resolutions (inferior to 2560x1440), other occasion is actually worst on CZcams and twitch, dosent work on other plataforms like piracy anime/movies/series sites, uses A LOT OF POWER comparing to see a video in 2/4k normally, trash with speed or slow videos, audio desync and a lot of other problems, but you know, is the "masive upgrade/technology, game change tech"....
yep, the power usage is too high to be effective.
Xilinx FPGA chiplet will certainly do a better job. I can image that Netflix will create an upscaling algorithm which can be pushed into this type of chiplet and fully optimized for Netflix content (same for the others)
Audio desync is something I see whenever I enable the in game overlay which I only ever use for recording a game session. And then I forget to disable it and wonder why the audio sync is out of whack watching YT...
I've tested the same video with two different players (one is the VLC version with Nvidia SRV), and didn't notice ANY change.
Nvidia are scammers.
