VLC Media Player Gets NVIDIA RTX Video Super Resolution Support
VLC Media Player, or VideoLAN Client, the popular open-source video/audio playback and streaming application, is receiving support for NVIDIA RTX Video Super Resolution, the company announced today. This would allow VLC to take advantage of the feature to vastly improve upscaled video quality. Many of the same techniques used in DLSS, are used for video upscaling, and attempted-reconstruction of detail. Some of these techniques have been around in the MadVR community as AI DNN-accelerated upscaler algorithms. The new feature should come as a boon for those with vast locally stored libraries of 1080p videos and a larger 4K Ultra HD display to view them on. VideoLAN is expected to release an update to VLC later today (April 12) with RTX Video Super Resolution support.

Not a very good example luckily I don't have a rtx card so it doesn't matter.
It's a shame this whole story got out prematurely because people are going to download "the latest version" and see no difference. Later when the actual VSR supporting version of VLC comes out it will be lost in the noise because the news cycle has already occurred.
