Not too long after rolling out Bing AI chatbot for mobile users, the tech giant unveiled an AI-powered upscaling feature called VSR (Video Super Resolution). It allows users to view low-res visuals at 480p or below thanks to its machine-learning technology. Now, the feature is being rolled out to select devices on the Canary channel for insiders. A straight competitor to Nvidia’s RTX Super Resolution feature, VSR works on both Nvidia and AMD GPUs. It functions on RTX 20/30/40 series and/or AMD RX5700-RX7800 series GPUs as long as the device is connected to the power & the video’s height and width exceeds 192 px and is not protected by DRM. While the feature is only rolling out for 50% of Canary channel insiders, you can still toggle it on by entering the command edge://flags/#edge-video-super-resolution.
How good is Edge’s VSR feature?
However, VSR still comes at a price. It limits to sub-HD resolutions and still has a long way to go to compete with Nvidia RTX’s limitless Super Resolution that could shoot a video up to 4K. Plus, being an insider-only feature, it may take a longer time for the general public to profit from the feature. Nonetheless, it’s one step closer to the right direction. It’s safe to say that we may see this enhancing feature rolling out for good in several months. Are you excited about this feature? Let us know in the comments.
