Please make sure you did not download the source code, and actually downloaded the release.

Do not extract the contents to a folder beside the obs-studio directory, extract them directly to your base installation path as the installation instructions say to do. You should not have a folder called OBS-RTX-SuperResolution, the zip file contains a folder called obs-studio.

ex/ If your OBS is installed to c:/program files/obs-studio, extract the contents of the zip to c:/program files, merging the folders.
Thank You So Much brother i have successfully installed it. Let me make Some cash Now

Shame it needs a bloated SDK package else I would have given it a go, but if this is upscaling does it then mean I am encoding a higher resolution video meaning a much bigger video?

This is the same SDK package required for other nVidia video effects that OBS implements itself directly, such as background removal/blur. This SDK does not run in the background, or continuously consume resources while installed, it's only requirement is some hard drive space, but I do not work for nVidia and that's as far as my trying to defend anything about this goes.

This plugin adds a new filter you can add to certain sources, such as video capture device sources, that allows the source it's attached to to have it's image processed by the nvidia super resolution video effects, and output that source at a higher quality scaled size than what OBS natively implements with it's scaling (bilinear/bicubic/lanczos) .

It does not necessarily mean a bigger video as this only effects a source in your scene, unless you decide to increase the canvas size you're rendering at in OBS itself to accommodate the increased maximum size of the source itself. This is up to you.

For example, I normally stream/record at 1080p or 1440p, and use this plugin to scale lower resolution video captures (480p/720p) up, and then scale down to my canvas size.

Note that this plugin does NOT magically make the source appear to be rendered at a higher resolution, it just has the ability to make sources look far less blurry when scaling them up than the built in options OBS provides.

In nvidia control panel you are able to adjust the quailty between auto and 1-4. What is this plugin running at? Should we be able to adjust between this range too?

I do not really understand your question.

nvidia control panel settings have no effect on the output produced by this plugin, it is not using DSR/DLDSR as provided by the nvidia drivers, it is using the nvidia video effects distributable to provide this upscaling. Please see the links provided on the resources page, or in the readme for more info.

The quality modes it runs at are in the options exposed in the filter settings, and have no relation to anything in the control panel options.

I have downloaded and installed as previously stated, and now my obs preview screen does not work anymore. Additionally, my gpu kicks into overdrive anytime I start my obs now. I have to use task manager to close obs everytime now because if not it just stays in a limbo state and doesn't want to exit. Any help is appreciated, I can no longer use obs now.

If you are closing it through the task manager, you should be getting an option to start OBS in safe mode (if not, use the --safe-mode launch parameter, check here for more details on how to set that if you're unsure)

Remove the filter from whatever you source you put it on.

Please note that this plugin does not do anything upon installation, and only functions when added as a filter to a source, and further it does not do anything unless you explicitly set the type of upscaling to use as it defaults to None.
If you only just installed the plugin, and added it as a filter to a source, and did not set SuperResolution or Upscaling in the filter settings menu, and this was still causing you issues, please post your OBS log.

Yes, this plugin can cause extreme resource usage if your video card cannot properly handle the settings you've set.

If you're trying to use SuperResolution on a 2060, to get a 4k scaled image, you're going to have a bad time.
If you're trying to use multiple of this filter, depending on your settings, you're going to have a bad time.

If you would like to use this plugin, please use a lower multiplier, or try the nvidia upscaling instead of AI super resolution.
