Windows 11 is getting built-in AI Super Resolution feature

The latest Windows 11 preview build contains several unannounced features that shed light on things that Microsoft plans to release later this year in the already confirmed Windows 11 version 24H2 (or in whatever comes after it). One of those features is AI upscaler or “super resolution,” a familiar term for those with supported Nvidia, AMD, and Intel graphics cards.

After digging it out from the depths of Windows 11 build 26052, you will be able to turn on “Automatic Super Resolution” in Settings > Display > Graphics. The feature description says it can “use AI to make supported games play more smoothly with enhanced details.” There is also a generic link to the Microsoft DirectX Developer Blog, which should be later replaced with one leading to the official documentation.

taggart_mccallister,

This is a cool feature but I hope it does the upscaling with photos and videos especially. I have a bunch of 1080p Blu-ray rips that I’d love to see in 2k or 4k without buying a whole new copy.

Why should the OS fiddle with graphics driver settings? What the hell?

Saff,

Can we just have windows update fixed instead please?

I wonder, if they will put that feature behind a paywall? I wouldnt even be mad.

helpImTrappedOnline,

They should put all the AI stuff behind a paywall so I don’t have to look at it. That being said, if this “AI upscale” is any good, its a good use for the not actually AI tech.

It will constantly be advertised to you though. You will have to look at it a little bit.

helpImTrappedOnline,

A few ads should be easier to disable than a suite of nonsense baked into the core OS.

All this time and money wasted when all they need to do is implement a search comparable to “Everything” and the many will be happy.

Schmeckinger,

AI is something different than AGI. Idk why people can’t get that into their head.

helpImTrappedOnline,

People can’t get it because everything is being marketed as AI.

The image resizer found in ms paint could be called “AI image resizer” and people would belive it.
