Good news for those using Firefox on PCs with new Nvidia RTX graphics cards. After a long wait, your web browser will now be able to benefit from Nvidia's AI-based video upscaling technology.

Specifically, starting with version 126.0, Firefox will now support Nvidia's RTX Video technology, which includes the RTX Video and RTX Video HDR ultra-high resolution upscaling feature set.

Nvidia announced RTX Video technology at CES 2023. In particular, the RTX Video Super Resolution feature is designed to be able to upgrade low-resolution videos into cleaner, sharper images by analyzing video and uses deep learning technology to simulate the final result. RTX Video HDR can process standard dynamic range videos, run them through a neural network, and add high dynamic range (HDR) information for greater visibility, detail, brightness, etc. This is achieved thanks to the power of Tensor cores, a component available in all GeForce RTX 20 series and newer GPU models. This also means that this technology will not work on the GTX series.

Nvidia says 90% of all online video is SDR 1080p or lower, and RTX Video can provide users with "remastered" versions easily in good quality.

Notably, Firefox is not the first browser to adopt RTX Video. Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge both already support video quality enhancement tools. Some third-party applications like VLC can also benefit from RTX Video on compatible systems.

Here's how to enable RTX Video on your Windows computer:

Step 1: Update to the latest RTX Game Ready, Studio or Enterprise driver version
Step 2: Turn on Windows HDR in Settings > Display > HDR (make sure your display supports high dynamic range, specifically HDR10).
Step 3: Navigate to Nvidia Control Panel > Adjust Video Image Settings > RTX Video Enhancement .
Step 4: Turn on the " Super Resolution " and " High Dynamic Range " options .

As mentioned, you can use the RTX Video tools on any computer with an RTX graphics card, You can find more information about RTX Video Super Resolution and RTX HDR in the official documentation from Nvidia.
