Fire It Up: Mozilla Firefox Adds Support for AI-Powered NVIDIA RTX Video

The popular open-source browser, Mozilla Firefox, has joined forces with NVIDIA to incorporate RTX Video, a technology that uses AI to improve video quality. Here’s what you need to know:

RTX Video Enhancements: First announced at CES in January 2023, RTX Video is a collection of AI video enhancements that improve the quality of videos played on browsers through platforms like YouTube, Prime Video, and Disney+. It makes videos streamed on NVIDIA GeForce RTX-powered PCs and RTX-powered workstations appear sharper and more detailed without requiring a higher-resolution source.
Two Key Components:
- RTX Video Super Resolution: This feature upscales low-resolution video using deep learning to predict what the higher-resolution version should look like. It reduces compression artifacts and sharpens the final output.
- RTX Video HDR: When enabled, it analyzes standard dynamic range (SDR) video content through AI neural networks to add high-dynamic range (HDR) information, improving visibility, details, and vibrancy.
Firefox Integration: Mozilla Firefox now supports RTX Video Super Resolution and HDR in its latest stable version (v126). Users can easily access AI-enhanced upscaling, de-artifacting, and HDR effects for online videos.
How to Enable RTX Video:
- Update to the latest GeForce RTX Game Ready Driver, NVIDIA Studio, or NVIDIA RTX Enterprise Driver.
- Ensure Windows HDR features are enabled by navigating to System > Display > HDR.
- Open the NVIDIA Control Panel and navigate to Adjust Video Image Settings > RTX Video Enhancement.

Mozilla Firefox joins other Chromium-based browsers, including Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, in supporting RTX Video. So, if you have compatible GPUs, get ready to enjoy improved video quality!
