NVIDIA has confirmed that RTX Video HDR will be available later this month, allowing all GeForce RTX users to use AI to enhance SDR content. AMD had similar news of its own this week, announcing that its FSR tech is in development for YouTube and VLC, one of the more popular media players. Fluid Motion Frames is also coming at the end of this month, according to recent comments from AMD’s Aaron Steinman.
AMD FSR:
- AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution is coming to YouTube
- VLC, the popular, open-source media player, is also gaining support for AMD’s upscaling solution
- Launching as part of Radeon Adrenalin Software
AMD Fluid Motion Frames:
- Launching in late January (reportedly the 24th, alongside the Radeon RX 7600 XT)
- Currently in preview now for Radeon 7000/6000 Series
- Frame generation tech can be applied to DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 games
- Preserves image quality by dynamically disabling frame generation during fast motion
NVIDIA RTX Video HDR:
- Coming to all GeForce RTX GPUs
- Uses AI to enhance SDR content
- Instantly converts SDR video in web browsers to HDR
- RTX Video HDR and RTX Video Super Resolution can be used simultaneously
- Browser support includes Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla FIrefox, and VLC (RTX branch)
HDR enables stunning video quality but is not widely used online because of the extra work required. Using the power of Tensor Cores on GeForce RTX GPUs, RTX Video HDR allows GeForce RTX GPU owners to maximize their HDR panel’s ability to display more vivid, dynamic colors, preserving intricate details that may be inadvertently rendered unidentifiable due to video compression.
