VLC Media Player Adds Support For NVIDIA RTX Video Super Resolution, Available Now

wccftech.com:

VLC Media Player has added support for NVIDIA's RTX Video Super Resolution technology in the latest version for AI-enhanced video quality.

Besides the launch of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card, Video Lan Organization has announced that the latest version of the VLC Media Player will add support for RTX Video Super Resolution. This will be a major deal as VLC is among the most popular media players currently used on PCs and having Video Super Resolution would bring video and image clarity for all who utilize a GPU that supports the RTX VSR feature.

Let's begin with the basics, however. The technology combines software (AI algorithms) and hardware (RTX Tensor Cores) to enhance the clarity and sharpness of videos. The technology launched on Chromium browsers such as Google's Chrome and Microsoft's Edge and is now expanding to other applications. We have already seen the results of the tech within YouTube where it has been a game changer, upscaling low-quality images & even adding more detail to higher resolution videos running at FHD or 4K.

To enable NVIDIA RTX Video Super Resolution for VLC, all you need to do is to have the feature enabled through the NCP (NVIDIA Control Panel). You can set the RTX VSR level based on your preferences.

RTX VSR offers different quality levels (1-4) for enhancing video: 1 being the lowest and 4 being the highest. Higher quality levels, such as 3 or 4, provide the most dramatic improvement by increasing the complexity of VSR’s algorithm, which requires more GPU usage. Lower quality levels, such as 1 or 2, require less work from the GPU while still providing noticeable improvements to video.
