Nvidia has enhanced the gaming experience for RTX 20 Series GPU owners by providing new GPU drivers that now enable these older GPUs to utilize the RTX Video Super Resolution upscaling tech for enhancing video quality. In a recent blog post, Nvidia confirmed the support for RTX Video Super Resolution on RTX 20 series graphics cards, including both the RTX 2080 Ti and the RTX 20 Super series.

The RTX Video Super Resolution is an upscaling feature released initially for the RTX 30 and 40 series graphics cards earlier this year. Empowered by AI and Tensor Cores, this feature enhances video quality watched in Chrome or Edge browsers and VLC, with support up to 4K resolution.

Prior to the announcement, RTX Video Super Resolution was not supported on RTX 20s series cards, as stated by Nvidia in their FAQ page. They mentioned the requirement of refactoring most algorithms to accommodate 20 series GPUs. The feature's compatibility with RTX 20 Series GPUs extends their life cycle, considering their popularity that surged in late 2021 when Nvidia re-launched the RTX 2060 with a 12GB RAM variant, aimed at meeting the high demand for the new RTX 30 series GPUs.

Nvidia is actively leveraging AI to motivate consumers to invest in their GPUs. Other examples include their highly popular gaming-centric tool, Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), and the Eye Contact feature for Nvidia Broadcast, which imagines the user's gaze direction using AI to make it seem like they are looking directly into the webcam.
