Enhance Video Quality in Microsoft Edge: Vivid vs Graphic Driver

You can enhance video quality in Microsoft Edge using either Vivid mode or Graphic driver enhancement for Video Super Resolution (VSR).

Video Super Resolution (VSR) is a Microsoft Edge feature that uses AI to improve the clarity of online videos by reducing artifacts and sharpening images.

VSR offers two primary methods to achieve this enhancement. Vivid mode provides an immediate, in-browser boost with brighter colors, suitable for most video types.

Alternatively, you can leverage Graphic driver enhancement, which utilizes your PC’s graphics card. This requires a compatible GPU, such as an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series or AMD Radeon RX 6000-series card or newer, for optimal performance.

Select Vivid mode or graphic driver enhancement as the preferred video enhancement method in Edge

As mentioned, you can select Vivid mode or Graphic driver enhancement as Edge’s preferred video enhancement method.

Here’s how to do it.

First, open Microsoft Edge.

Then, click the three horizontal dots (Alt+F) in the top right corner and select Settings.

Next, click System and performance on the left-hand menu.

Look for the “Enhance video in Microsoft Edge” tile under System and toggle the switch to On.

Once enabled, select the “Preferred method of video enhancement” tile and choose the method you want from the drop-down option:

• Vivid mode
• Graphic driver enhancement

Your changes should apply right away. Try closing and reopening Microsoft Edge.

That should do it!
