Which GPUs Are Compatible With RTX VSR?
So that means you’ll need at least an RTX 3050 to enjoy it.
Furthermore, we expectthe upcoming RTX 4060 and RTX 4070 video cardsto support the technology.

You must have the latest GeForce Game Ready Drivers or NVIDIA Studio Drivers to turn on RTX VSR.
Once you’ve updated all your apps, turning RTX VSR on is easy.
RTX VSR vs.
Native Video Quality
So, how does RTX VSR compare against native video?
Let’s make some comparisons below.
First, let’s look at the fine details in the Crab Rave animated music video.
At 720p, you’ll notice that the fine details in the green bushes are soft and blurred.
For example, we tested the anime Gundam SEED, which only has a maximum resolution of 360p.
With RTX VSR On, the text quality is noticeably sharper.

The glow in the background is also less patchy and much smoother.
We also tested RTX VSR with human faces.
Looking at our cropped images, it’s evident that 720p has less detail than 1080p.

But since RTX VSR uses your GPU’s Tensor cores, it is bound to impact its performance.
But when we turned on the feature, this utilization jumped by 30%.
But if you’re rendering videos on your box, consider turning off RTX VSR.

Or maybe you should watch videos on your phone or tablet instead.
