Solved VSR enable (NVIDIA RTX SuperRes)
-
Hi, I guess it is the same as UHD on Netflix, Chrome and Edge only.
No idea who pays whom, but it doesn't come for free.
I fear this will not come to Vivaldi soon.Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin not sure about it because we already have github mod for mpc what work perfect using rtx vsr

@offspiltspirit That is for Windows only. Adding such to Vivaldi would bring up a Windows-only-Browser, no, please, no!
-
@DoctorG As far as I understand, in Chrome rtx vsr also only available for windows.
Can't we get access to such a cool feature at least in the Windows version?

That would only be a experimental feature, i think.
-
Yes. Absolutely.
-
Please add this as an optional flag/feature!
-
Bump.
-
Yeah, this needs to be a thing. I think it was actually working for some videos a while ago, but now it stopped.
-
AFAICT the SuperRes feature "NvidiaVpSuperResolution" is enabled in all browsers based on Chromium 110+.
Note that you have to have a graphics card that support it, according to this Bing result that means having the latest versions of an RTX 30 or 40 card, updated drivers, and the feature have to be enabled in the GPU software.

@yngve I've just tested it with the same 360p video side-by-side with Vivaldi and Edge, and it seems that it's not working in Vivaldi.
When I toggle the setting in the Nvidia Control Panel, the Edge version hitches for a fraction of a second, then resumes while becoming noticeable less pixelated, whereas the Vivaldi version remains the same, without even hitching as Edge does. -
No real idea about what would cause that, given that the code AFAICT is active in Vivaldi 5.7 (Chromium 110 based). However, given recent revelations, I wouldn't really be surprised if this is involved somehow: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/84929/hardcoded-optimizations-in-gpu-drivers

Close Edge, and the only remaining video will be improved... I just found this out accidentally with Plex and live tv, wanted to see if my HD Homerun had a good signal for a thing I wanted to record and the video looked a little too smooth for a normal broadcast, so I opened Edge on the other monitor and it looked "normal bad" with compression blocks and stuff, while in Vivaldi there was no compression blocks. I mean still a 540p on a 4k screen isn't pretty, but you know what I mean. As I've herd nothing about this feature in Vivaldi I ran a search and here we are
In short: close Edge, this thing seems to work on only one video feed at a time.
-
@alexthestampede Oh, I'm an idiot. You're right! Required a restart of Vivaldi after closing Edge for it to start applying to Vivaldi again, but it's definitely working now. Total PEBCAK moment, ignore my previous comment.
-
PLEEEEAAASSSSEEEE ADD THIS, AND ANY SIMILAR FUNCTIONS FROM AMD

The feature is still a bit buggy on Vivaldi (6.4.3160.34) compared to Edge.
In Vivaldi, it only works as long you don't leave the tab. Once you leave the tab and come back - it does not work anymore until you open the video in a new tab or restart the browser - just reload the tab (F5) does not help! On Edge, you can switch to another tab and come back to the video tab and the feaure will directly work again.@yngve maybe you guys can have a second look on this issue
-
I don't think anyone in Vivaldi presently have one of those GPU cards installed, so we can't test.
The support is handled entirely on the Chromium side, in code we haven't modified.
Developer and Security Expert at Vivaldi.
-
@yngve but why does it work with Chrome and Edge without issues? This must be something Vivaldi specific.
And as no one of you guys have such a card, is there anything we can provide from our side to help you to find the issue.
-
Our GUI does need to handle tabs differently (not my territory).
One guess, though, is that each tab is a handled by a separate process, and moving a tab into the background might suspend the tab process, exiting the GPU process.
One thing to keep in mind, though, is that, as mentioned above, you can only have one browser running at a time with this feature. IF you are running a second browser (no data) that might take over control of the GPU acceleration.
-
@yngve this is clear, when I tested, I did it with and without edge or any other browser running in parallel just to understand the behavior of it better, but Vivaldi was the only one having the issues
