Starting with Adrenalin driver 24.1.1, AMD has introduced a new video upscaling solution for Radeon RX 7000 users designed to improve the image quality of low-resolution videos/streams. It is basically an AMD version of Nvidia RTX VSR, but without any AI-based upscaling (as far as we know).
The new upscaler is now available inside the Adrenalin control panel under the gaming tab and graphics sub-menu. AMD says its upscaler works with various applications, including Chrome, Edge, Media Player, and more. However, the setup process is a bit more complicated than Nvidia's solution. Besides enabling the upscaler in the Adrenalin control panel, Radeon users also need to enable "Process Video Automatically to enhance it" from the video playback menu inside the Windows 11 settings app. In addition, to activate the upscaler in Chrome specifically, users will also need to do a few extra steps. This includes entering the commands "edge://flags" or "chrome://flags" in the address bar, locating "Media Foundation for Clear" and changing that feature from its default mode to enabled.
