VLC to support Nvidia's RTX Video HDR 'soon' — will join VSR on VLC for AI upscaling

TL;DR


• VLC, the popular media player, will soon support NVIDIA's RTX video HDR feature. This feature allows for improved HDR video playback on compatible NVIDIA GPUs, providing a more vibrant and realistic viewing experience. The integration of RTX video HDR in VLC is expected to benefit users who frequently watch HDR content on their PCs.

• In addition to the RTX video HDR support, VLC will also introduce support for NVIDIA's VSR (Variable Shading Rate) technology. VSR allows for more efficient GPU utilization by dynamically adjusting the shading rate based on the complexity of the scene, leading to improved performance and energy efficiency. This integration will provide VLC users with the ability to enjoy smoother and more optimized video playback.

• Furthermore, VLC is set to incorporate AI-based upscaling capabilities, leveraging NVIDIA's AI technologies. This feature will enable VLC to intelligently upscale lower-resolution videos to higher resolutions, providing users with a more detailed and sharper viewing experience, especially on larger displays. The AI upscaling feature in VLC is anticipated to be a valuable addition for users who often watch content at non-native resolutions.
