Nvidia's new AI tool can upscale low quality streaming video to 4K
The AI-based upscaling tool increases the resolution of online video while removing artifacts.
- Meant for the company's GeForce RTX 30 and 40 series graphic cards, RTX Video Super Resolution uses the GPU to upscale lower-resolution online video to 4K. Nvidia said that the tool will also remove any compression artifacts in the video.
