New Nvidia drivers now have RTX Video Enhancement for Chrome and Edge

Tags: Windows

Anyone with an RTX 30xx or 40xx card with a 1440p or higher resolution monitor can enjoy the video enhancement upscaling feature when viewing videos in Edge and Chrome. Just make sure you have the latest versions of Edge and/or Chrome and install Nvidia Driver version 531.18. To activate this feature, go into Nvidia Control Panel and on the left, click “Adjust Video Image Settings” under Video and enable “RTX Video Enhancement” and then choose a quality level. Now save and exit.

Unfortunately, the RTX 20xx cards cannot take advantage of this yet. 1080p monitors are shit out of luck as you would not see much of a difference when enabled.

Let me know what the best setting for you is. Do you like it off or on? What quality level do you like if you have the feature enabled?

I disabled it entirely. Here’s why.

When I game I want the GPU to focus on the game. I found that Hardware Acceleration in browsers and Discord lead to annoying micro stutters. So I turned it off.

Also, this happened on a RTX 3090, 11th gen i7 and 32GB RAM on an all SSD rig so it’s not a matter of CPU or GPU horsepower.

Shame they couldn’t avoid that micro stutter issue. At least you can shut it completely off.
