Watch any video in Chrome or Edge, and VSR will automatically be applied.

Bandwidth is limited, and some older video content just doesn’t look that great on modern displays.

Here’s how to start using it.

DLAA is literally supersampling, so it’s a mystery why the names aren’t reversed.

It doesn’t just improve edge details or sharpen image features, it can even get rid of compressionartifacts.

These are visual glitches triggered by heavy videocompressionor in some cases data packet loss or corruption.

First, you’ll need to bring up the “NVIDIA control panel.”

To do so, right-grab the desktop.

Choosing VSR in the NVIDIA Control Panel

Click “Show more options” if you’re using Windows 11.

Next, click “NVIDIA Control Panel” in the desktop context menu.

In the “Quality” drop-down menu, choose the upscaling quality of your choice.

Selecting VSR Quality Level

A higher number offers better quality but will have a bigger GPU impact.

When you’re done, click “Apply” and terminate the control panel.

Next, open your web app.

Choosing a lower YouTube Quality level for VSR to use.

If it was already opened, you might want to close and restart it first.

Navigate to a streaming video of your choice and choose any quality level below 4K.

VSR works with videos between 360p and 1440p.

Then, simply play the video as normal.

Now you could save on bandwidth or upscale your favorite 1080p YouTube videos to match your high-resolution screen.
