Google Chrome will soon feature innovative new Nvidia technology, and the browser upgrade is available. We’re discussing the RTX Video Super Resolution (VSR) from Nvidia, which is capable of scaling up to 4K.

We regret to inform you that you cannot yet utilize it if you are eager to give it a try.

To test out Nvidia’s RTX VSR, you’ll need Google Chrome’s most recent upgrade, which gets it up to version 110.0.5481.77. The system will allow Chrome and Microsoft Edge to support AI-powered upscaling and is designed to function similarly to Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS). VSR is still new, but it seems quite promising. Nvidia first unveiled it in January.

In the video we’ve included above, Nvidia demonstrates the new technology. Nvidia claims that RTX VSR will reach up to 4K, significantly boosting the resolution of media and games that are typically between 360p and 1440p. When footage from Apex Legends is upscaled from 1080p to 4K to demonstrate the capability of VSR, the results are flawlessly sharp, even during the times when the camera zooms in on specific details.

The potential applications of VSR are interesting to consider. The obvious choice seems to be Nvidia’s own GeForce Now. However, scaling to 4K does seem like something Nvidia could want to charge for rather than make available for free, so it’s difficult to say for sure whether GeForce Now will be given the RTX VSR treatment. In a similar vein, streaming services might gain from this free update, but will they do so considering that a 4K plan typically costs more than a basic 720p? Time will reveal.

The official release date for Google Chrome’s update, which is now only available in an early stable version. The following information was discovered by VideoCardz after digging through the release notes: “Make NvidiaVpSuperResolution active by default.”

Although the function will be accessible by default in the browser, you must first enable it on your end by going into the Nvidia Control Panel. The upscaling technology is only available on RTX 30-series and RTX 40-series GPUs, so you can only test it out if you own one of Nvidia’s top graphics cards.

Even if you fulfill all of the requirements, the bad news is that you can’t use RTX Video Super Resolution just now. Although everything is prepared on Google’s end, we still require Nvidia to publish a driver update that makes the new technology possible. Thankfully, we can almost certainly anticipate it happening shortly.
