NVIDIA Releases RTX Video HDR Tool - AI-Upscale Standard Res Video to HDR Quality

RTX Video HDR—first announced at CES—is now available for download through the January Studio Driver. It uses AI to transform standard dynamic range video playing in internet browsers into stunning high dynamic range (HDR) on HDR10 displays. PC game modders now have a powerful new set of tools to use with the release of the NVIDIA RTX Remix open beta. It features full ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS, NVIDIA Reflex, modern physically based rendering assets and generative AI texture tools so modders can remaster games more efficiently than ever. Pick up the new GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER available from custom board partners in stock-clocked and factory-overclocked configurations to enhance creating, gaming and AI tasks.

Part of the RTX 40 SUPER Series announced at CES, it's equipped with more CUDA cores than the RTX 4070, a frame buffer increased to 16 GB, and a 256-bit bus—perfect for video editing and rendering large 3D scenes. It runs up to 1.6x faster than the RTX 3070 Ti and 2.5x faster with DLSS 3 in the most graphics-intensive games. And this week's featured In the NVIDIA Studio technical artist Vishal Ranga shares his vivid 3D scene Disowned—powered by NVIDIA RTX and Unreal Engine with DLSS.
RTX Video HDR Delivers Dazzling Detail
Using the power of Tensor Cores on GeForce RTX GPUs, RTX Video HDR allows gamers and creators to maximize their HDR panel's ability to display vivid, dynamic colors, preserving intricate details that may be inadvertently lost due to video compression.


RTX Video HDR and RTX Video Super Resolution can be used together to produce the clearest livestreamed video anywhere, anytime. These features work on Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

To enable RTX Video HDR:
  • Download and install the January Studio 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—then enable HDR.
Standard dynamic range video will then automatically convert to HDR, displaying remarkably improved details and sharpness.

RTX Video HDR is among the RTX-powered apps enhancing everyday PC use, productivity, creating and gaming. NVIDIA Broadcast supercharges mics and cams; NVIDIA Canvas turns simple brushstrokes into realistic landscape images; and NVIDIA Omniverse seamlessly connects 3D apps and creative workflows. Explore exclusive Studio tools, including industry-leading NVIDIA Studio Drivers—free for RTX graphics card owners—which support the latest creative app updates, AI-powered features and more.

RTX Video HDR requires an RTX GPU connected to an HDR10-compatible monitor or TV. For additional information, check out the RTX Video FAQ.

I've tried the Auto-HDR feature built into Windows and it's not great... I wind up just enabling HDR when I specifically engage in HDR content (ie some games).

Side note: I read the blog on nvidia's website and it specifically mentions that this feature is only in the Studio Driver, but the Game Ready Drivers also lists this feature being added as of v551.23

Firefox doesn't yet support HDR, that may be why (even though MacOS's branch does iirc)

Old (low resolution)classic movies? At least that's what I've used them for recently especially the Super resolution thing!

90s butt-cuts, Jencos and chain wallets deserve better than 240p.

Man, is this article hard to read. It starts with RTX Video HDR, then it tells you to buy a 4070Ti Super, then it goes to Windows settings and it ends with something about mics and cams...
