Microsoft’s EDGE Video Super Resolution Will Enhance Video For AMD and NVIDIA Graphics Cards
After the recent reveal from Intel about preparing its Video Super Resolution (VSR) for Google's Chrome browsers, Microsoft has announced its version of VSR for use in its proprietary Edge browser, which was based on the Chromium browser.
This new video upscaling integration from Microsoft will allow AMD's Radeon graphics cards and NVIDIA's GeForce GPUs to have the availability to take advantage of the latest enhancement technology. It has been confirmed that AMD Radeon RX 5700 GPUs through the company's 7800 series will be compatible. In contrast, NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 20 through 40 series that utilize Tensor cores will have the same functionality as its competitor.

Microsoft's new EDGE VSR uses artificial intelligence to enhance video resolutions below 720p and not less than 192 pixels². Additionally, suppose the video has Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection, such as Netflix, Prime Video, and Hulu content. In that case, the new EDGE VSR might not be fully compatible.
The new technology will enhance text visibility and assist with removing artifacts from video compression.

Systems that run on battery will also be unable to access the capability. Right now, only half of the users that meet the conditions for the functionality will have access to EDGE VSR. Microsoft reports that the corporation plans to add the same capability in discrete and integrated GPUs.
Due to the computation power required to cleanup and upscale videos, video super resolution (VSR) is currently offered only when the following
