VSR (NVIDIA RTX SuperRes) breaks when switching tab in same window as video
-
Vivaldi supports VSR (NVIDIA RTX SuperRes) and it works, but when you switch to a different tab in the same window the VSR stops working on the tab you switched away from. Only way to get VSR to work again is to open a new tab and open the video there fresh. In chrome and in Edge (as confirmed by this user as well https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/706339) VSR will continue working when switching tabs is the same window and I would expect Vivaldi to do the same.

I've encountered the same problem on Vivaldi 6.5.3206.57 (Stable channel) x64 on Windows 10 Pro 21H2.
Edge and Yandex Browser work fine with VSR when switching between tabs. -

Hi, when Chromium support this Vivaldi should work either, if not it is a bug.
Chrome, Edge and others have deals with Nvidia so some features are not possible with Vivaldi.
Test this in Chromium and report if needed.For information on how to report a bug, see this URL: https://vvld.in/how-to-report-bugs
Once that is done, please share the bug number (beginning with VB-). Thanks.
On the form, you can add your email address. Once submitted, you'll get a confirmation. You can reply to this with any logs or further info.Cheers, mib

VSR (NVIDIA RTX SuperRes) works fine on Vivaldi. Problem occures when switch between tabs, VSR deactivates if i switch from tab with video and return back to it.
Just downloaded Chromium 123.0.6269.0 (Dev build), (x64) and there VSR works fine and switching between tabs doesn't deactivate VSR. It happens only on Vivaldi.Video with comparison on Chromium and Vivaldi: https://disk.yandex.com/d/G_4DHfMuXcROzQ

Hm, we are at Chromium 120, the next Vivaldi is Chromium 122.
The last stable was at December 14, 2023, because of the holidays we lost 14 days.
Maybe wait for the next Vivaldi stable before you report it to the bug tracker.Cheers, mib

NP, I add a comment and a link to this tread.Thanks for the report, mib

@gooddha It is not useful to compare a browser based on Chromium 120 with one based on Chromium 123, one have to compare the same Chromium version in both builds.
As I recall, we have done tests of this feature internally for your use case, and not been able to reproduce.
It might be an idea to check if this issue depends on the videos being played.

When i downloaded Chromium i didn't know which version used in stable Vivaldi build. I can try in Chromium 120

How you controlled feature activity? Did you check VSR activity status in Nvidia control panel, while reproduce? Which driver version was while you attempt reproducing?

Ok. I will try different videos (not only Youtube).

The test was done by one of my colleagues, IIRC with one of the top-line cards and up to date drivers.

Good; one reason I am suggesting this is that I just came across another report with a similar description, but did not mention SuperRes. That could indicate that the problem is related to something else, like resolution or the video format.

One way to test if it was working was looking into task manager. For my 4090 with quality level 4 it was giving my much higher gpu usage when VSR is working compared to when VSR is not anymore working.

For me, in latest driver 551.23 VSR activity status is displayed in Nvidia Control Panel
Can you check is that status displayed on your Nvidia Control Panel on that driver version?

I tried on Chromium 120.0.6099.71 - VSR works fine when switching from tab with playin video and back

I do not get this indicator at all. But like i said I do get GPU usage when it works. When it works it has about 18-20% usage on my 4090, as soon as it does not work anymore it goes down to about 0,5-1% usage. One thing that might be important is that a lower video resolution has to be played than the monitor resolution. I can not read the language on the screenshot but is that an AUTO setting? I might have older drivers...

That's why I'm asking to test on the latest driver version. I suggest that older driver version hasn't this VSR activity status. Could you check that? Maybe this will help to reproduce problem more confidently.

I can confirm this. When watchin 1080p video on 1080p display VSR doesn't activate. It does only if video resolution is less than display resolution. And this expected as normal behavior.

I just tested again with newest driver and looking on the status indicator, it seems to not work on YouTube at all. Not Vivaldi, not edge. On other sites, it works on Vivaldi and edge. But on Vivaldi it breaks after switching to other tab in same window and back. So I can confirm the bug is still there, but I would advise to not use YouTube to test since YouTube does not seem to work… Maybe they break it so they can sell premium or have some deal with NVIDIA, I do not know. The best way is to use an up-to-date driver and to look at the indicator.

Could you post screenshot of nvidia control panel with english user interface with active VSR indicator here? My screenshots are in russian and not readable for most users here.

@gooddha My are in German
but might still be better so here:
