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.
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.
