Many streaming services cap content at 1080p unless you pay for a higher-tier subscription. On higher-resolution monitors, that image can look soft and pixelated, ruining the viewing experience. A higher plan only works when a 4K version exists, though.
Fortunately, your GPU can fix that problem for free with an already installed feature.
Every RTX GPU has video playback features that upscale resolution and enhance quality, practically remastering older videos, but many people aren’t familiar with them.
RTX Video Super Resolution upscales low-resolution playback to better match your display, and RTX Video HDR applies HDR to content that doesn’t support it.
