Add Firefox Support for RTX Video Super Resolution

[navek]

Please, work with nVidia to add support for RTX Video Super Resolution in Firefox. Nearly 80% of internet bandwidth today is streaming video, and 90% of that content streams at 1080p or lower. Many of us use displays with resolutions higher than 1080p, and Firefox uses basic upscaling techniques, which result in final images that are soft or blurry. PC users also sit close to their screens, which makes the quality of upscaling even more noticeable, and is a good argument for a higher level of processing and refinement.

I prefer to use Firefox for everything I do, but I now feel torn because the difference is so noticeable, and I stream a great deal of video. Again, please, reach out to nVidia and work with them to implement support for RTX VSR. It really makes a difference, and would eliminate any inclination I might have to use a different browser for streaming video.

Oh apparently there's a new entry in about:config that needs to be changed, and there's RTX HDR support now as well

gfx.webrender.overlay-vp-super-resolution
gfx.webrender.overlay-vp-auto-hdr

Driver version 551.86, FF Dev version 125.0b4, still works, it's just still very selective about what videos it wants to work on. Of course Chrome works on all videos.

To anyone else trying this: Remember to check the setting in FF config, and remember to try multiple different videos.

First enable in about:config:
gfx.webrender.overlay-vp-auto-hdr
gfx.webrender.overlay-vp-super-resolution
gfx.webrender.super-resolution.nvidia

This simply won't work because of how firefox switches between gpu API's.

In Nvidia 3d settings, make sure Firefox.exe is on Nvidia, make sure OpenGl GPU is set to your RTX capable gpu.
Now you need to tell windows to give right Gpu endpoints, Nvidia settings page only handles request to nvidia api.

The most critical part is Windows GPU settings.
Open windows GPU settings, open the location of your firefox and select firefox.exe and set it high performance.

Don't forget to enable Super Resolution in Nvidia panel.

I don't like how windows handles GPU api's, It is what it is. And firefox seems to get low-power gpu endpoints by default. On the other hand, chromium seems to request all of your gpu.

Firefox 125.0.2
Super Resolution only work if I set monitor refresh rate to 60 FPS. if I set refresh rate higher the Super Resolution just won't kick in.
