Enhance Video Quality in Microsoft Edge: Vivid vs Graphic Driver
Video Super Resolution in Microsoft Edge fixes fuzzy online videos by using computer learning to make low-quality clips look sharp. Microsoft Edge gives you two ways to improve your picture: Vivid mode adds a quick splash of color inside the browser, while graphic driver enhancement lets your graphics card handle the load.
Graphic driver enhancement requires a newer graphics card, like an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series or an AMD Radeon RX 6000-series. Both settings make old YouTube clips and grainy web streams look clear without slowing down your computer.
Enhance video quality in Microsoft Edge by navigating to Settings, then System and performance. Toggle “Enhance video in Microsoft Edge” on, and select either Vivid mode or Graphic driver enhancement from the dropdown menu for your preferred video enhancement method.
