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 Nvidia GeForce Graphics 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.
