Video Super Resolution (VSR) is a feature within Microsoft Edge that uses machine learning to improve the clarity of videos you watch. It works by reducing compression artifacts and sharpening the picture.
When you enable VSR, you have two main options for how the enhancement is applied. Vivid mode offers a built-in, easy-to-use enhancement for brighter colors, suitable for most content.
Alternatively, Graphic driver enhancement leverages your computer’s specific graphics card capabilities for potentially superior results. This option requires a compatible GPU, such as an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series or AMD Radeon RX 6000-series or newer, for its full effect.
