Microsoft is testing a new "Automatic Super Resolution" AI-assisted upscaling feature that increases the video and image quality of supported games while also making them run more smoothly.
As first discovered by Windows sleuth PhantomOfEarth, Microsoft is now testing an Automatic Super Resolution feature as part of its first preview of Windows 11 24H2 in the Canary and Dev channels.
This feature is believed to be similar to NVIDIA's DLSS Super Resolution feature, which also uses AI to upscale video frames.
For those who wish to test the new Super Resolution feature, you can install the latest Windows 11 Dev or Canary build and download the ViveTool program, which allows you to enable hidden developer features.
To enable the Super Resolution feature, open an elevated command prompt and execute the following command shared by Albacore on X. vivetool /enable /id:39695921 /variant:3.
