Nvidia VSR/Windows 3060ti

[stuzathegreat 2]

Hi all,   

 

I've got a Windows 11 3070ti PC I use as a server and it's also plugged in to my TV. I've got that all up and running fine at 4k, full HDR support at 120hz.

 

Through another discussion I recently found out that I'm probably leaving performance on the table and not getting as good as I can as I've not enabled Nvidia Video Super Resolution.

 

Anyway, I've now enabled this but, what do I need to set in Emby to get the best from all those older lower res videos?   

 

In Emby Theater I get the following options    GPU Choices of:     

Auto    

libmpv (I assume not this one)    

gpu    

gpu-Next 

 

And then for hardware acceleration:    

 Auto    

Auto (copy back)    

CUDA copy back   

 D3D   

 D3D copy back   

 Nvidia NVDEC copy back    

Unset (for mpv.conf) 

 

Any thoughts, please?

HI, what about leaving everything on auto? How does that look to you?

[stuzathegreat 2]

Fine. But that doesn't mean I'm not leaving quality on the table. Without an addictional spare identical TV & computer I can not compare which is why I'm asking the experts.

Are you expecting Emby to do video enhancement ?  I don't think that's its job, really.

I'm not "expecting" anything, I just want to make sure I get the best that I can with what I have.

Nvidia CAN do video enhancement so I think he’s trying to make sure Emby is set to its maximum potential to get the most from the entire set-up

Exactly. That's all. Nothing more. Thank you.

Q: What do I need before I enable RTX Video Super Resolution?

A: You will need the following

1. GeForce RTX GPUs 

2. The latest Chrome or Edge browser or VLC with RTX Video Super Resolution support

Considering VLC has a special flavor for that:

I'd guess other players (including Theater in any mode) are out of the equation unless support specifically implemented.

Yes! And that's why I'm asking Support, which is why we post here right?

 

By the way, this was addressed in March by a dev? It's available via browser right now but, using a remote in the Web interface is... To be kind... Suboptimal.

You can set VLC-RTX as external player in your Theater and see how does it compare, do you see any noticable difference when upscaled?
