To enable it, you need to activate VSR in the Nvidia App, then configure VLC to use the Direct3D11 video output, enable hardware blending, and switch the upscaling mode to Super Resolution. The feature uses Tensor cores to sharpen lower-resolution video in real time and works well in VLC 3.0.23 after early bugs were resolved. It's especially effective for older TV shows and anime. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
