If you’ve invested a hefty sum in an RTX GPU from Nvidia, you’ll want to maximize your return on your investment. In addition to the high frame rates and superior rendering you’ll get in your games, these graphics cards also come with a number of handy extras to improve the quality of streaming video.

Collectively, these extras are known as RTX Video: There are two features you’ll be able to take advantage of, and we may see more of them in the future. In Nvidia’s words, they’re “real-time AI-based video enhancements,” so they’re using some artificial intelligence tricks to improve what you’re watching beyond the original quality.

To use these features, you'll need an RTX 2000, RTX 3000, or RTX 4000 series GPU installed in your system, and the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser on Windows. Before you begin, please ensure that you have the latest drivers for your GPU. You can do this via the Nvidia GeForce Experience app, which should already be installed on your system.

First up, we have RTX Video Super Resolution (VSR), which (as the name suggests) makes video look like it was recorded at a higher quality: According to Nvidia, it can be like putting on prescription glasses, as it makes content look sharper. A lot of streaming content is output at 1080p, while many of us use monitors with higher resolutions, and VSR is designed to solve that problem.
