Why would I ever want this.
For if you wanted SD videos to upscale? If you don't then don't enable it in the nvidia control panel.
Do I have an nVidia control panel?
If you have an nVidia video card it can be helpful.
Keeping it updated without their godawful GeForce Experience bullshit is a bit of a pain, though. And it has limited settings.
I'm pretty sure that's a windows only thing. My main machine is offline right now, but the nVidia settings tool is quite different from their windows control panel from wha I remember.
generally speaking, its more valuable if the cost of electricity used is lower than the cost of getting better internet (e.g living in the bumfuck no where).
say if your isp gives you a 250gb cap and costs 50$ per 250gb (just throwing out numbers), it might make sense to use less data in the stream quality, and upscale it to a higher resolution using GPU as a cost saving measure.
