Moore Threads launches MTVSR video upscaling in v330.140 driver

Super Resolution, but only for video

Moore Threads has released its v330.140 graphics driver which adds MTVSR, the company’s new real-time video super-resolution feature , alongside game fixes and professional software updates. The key point is that MTVSR is not a gaming upscaler. It is a video playback feature designed to upscale low-resolution video during playback, not a real-time rendering feature for games.

According to Moore Threads, MTVSR uses the company’s self-trained AI model and GPU acceleration to enhance decoded video frames in real time. The published technical write-up says it can perform deblocking and edge sharpening, supports codecs including MPEG-2, H.264, H.265, and AV1, and works on cards such as the MTT S80 and MTT S70. The same material claims a 1080p to 4K test at Ultra quality reached 42 fps using an alpha driver and a custom VLC build.

Unfortunately, I do not have a Bilibili account to download 4K video, so the examples below are from 720p video instead:

Moore Threads says the demonstration used a recorded game video because films, TV content, or animation would raise copyright issues. That does not mean the feature itself is for games. Moore Threads has separately shown MTAGR, described at MDC as a real-time rendering image-quality technology, but that is a different track from MTVSR and is still being optimized for the S80 rather than launching here as a public gaming feature.

This looks more like an early test build than a normal public driver release. The package includes an alpha driver and a custom VLC build with MTVSR support, and Moore Threads says users need to disable Secure Boot and enable Windows Test Mode (not a good idea?). That is also why it is not meant for regular users yet.

So far, Moore Threads has introduced AI video upscaling, not a DLSS or FSR-style gaming feature. MTVSR is for video playback, while MTAGR is a separate game rendering technology that is still being optimized.
