Firefox 114 introduced hidden support for nvidia video super resolution. In about:config you can enable preference gfx.webrender.super-resolution.nvidia to make it work. However I see 0 difference on all videos on all pages. I have everything in nvidia control panel set correctly (VSR enabled and set to 4/4 quality).

Tried to find more info online and someone on reddit complained that it worked before but it stopped working with latest firefox beta (probably before final 114 release): https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/13duluz/nvidia_video_super_resolution_comes_to_firefox/

I tried using logic too - if this pref is related to webrenderer in its name maybe it is not working because I am not using webrenderer? However I checked about:support and in section graphics->composition I have "webrenderer" so it seems I am using it, but its VSR feature is not working at all.

Could you open the about:support page, go to section GPU 1 and read the Vendor ID (ID dostawcy)? Thanks.

Well it looks like it was very easy to fix. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1838781#c3

There was error in code, they had to replace 

enabled ?  0 : 1u};

with 

enabled ? 1u : 0};

It took 15 days to resolve this and fix will be published in firefox 116 on 1st August if everything goes well. https://whattrainisitnow.com/calendar/

1 little mistake and 2 months of delay for this feature. Ugh!
