Intel Working On Its Own Video Super Resolution Tech, Coming To Chromium Browsers Soon?

wccftech.com:

Intel is also working on its own upscaling video technology with its new Intel VSR (Video Super Resolution), an available addition to Chromium browsers, such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. However, the technology may not be globally available or available on all video platforms.

Intel VSR supports specific generations of Intel GPUs, starting with the 10th Generation Tiger Lake integrated graphics platform. The technology is rumored to have been available since October last year during an update to NVIDIA's graphics driver (version 530). The option was not active by default, meaning users would need to activate the video upscaler manually.

Before attempting to activate the Intel VSR on your Google Chrome browser, users must ensure that they are running with version 109 and higher, as older versions did not have the enablement available. To access the Intel VSR technology, you must open Google Chrome properties.

One way is if you have the Google Chrome shortcut on your desktop or in your start menu on Windows. By right-clicking with your mouse, you can open up a menu, which will present an option to open Google Chrome's "Properties." You will see the Target under the Target type and location information on the Shortcut tab from this window. In the Target box, after the text in the box, add this code:

--enable-features=IntelVpSuperResolution

Once you have added the command, click Apply at the bottom of the window and click OK to close the Properties window. It is unnecessary, but users may want to restart their PC to ensure the Intel VSR technology will be enabled.

VideoCardz and the original Japanese source "Go Go with HD DVD" mention that the Intel Video Super Resolution is available but was not active on every video
