NVIDIA has unveiled a cutting-edge compression algorithm for material textures, dubbed Neural Texture Compression (NTC). This innovative algorithm tackles the escalating memory requirements of ...
If you read this site, chances are pretty good that you've probably played around with a neural image upscaler at some point. These programs, like the popular "waifu2x", use a pre-trained neural ...
Nvidia's Blackwell architecture touts support for a raft of AI-powered "neural rendering" features. Among the more interesting of these is neural texture compression, or NTC. As developers pursue more ...
TL;DR: NVIDIA's RTX Neural Texture Compression, enabled by DirectX 12's Cooperative Vectors, reduces VRAM usage up to 7X while enhancing texture quality for 4K gaming. This AI-driven technology ...
At CES 2025, Nvidia announced so many new things that it was somewhat hard to figure out just what was really worth paying attention to. While the likes of the RTX 5090 and its enormous price tag were ...
TL;DR: The current DRAM crisis and rising DDR5 and GPU prices challenge PC upgrades, especially for gamers. NVIDIA's RTX Neural Texture Compression, now available to developers, uses AI to drastically ...
In context: Games today use highly-detailed textures that can quickly fill the frame buffer on many graphics cards, leading to stuttering and game crashes in recent AAA titles for many gamers. With ...
NTC texture compression is undemanding to video memory and offers realistic quality. NVIDIA’s Blackwell graphics cards are specifically «tailored» for neural rendering. On YouTube, a Compusemble ...
It's still early, but 2023 looks like it'll be remembered as the year 8GB of GPU memory met a premature demise. Just last year, 8GB was fine for most games. But even now, we've already seen multiple ...
Something to look forward to: High-resolution textures are a primary factor behind the growing install sizes and VRAM usage in modern blockbuster games. Nvidia proposed a neural-network-based method ...
Now more than ever, the best graphics cards aren’t defined by their raw performance alone — they’re defined by their features. Nvidia has set the stage with DLSS, which now encompasses upscaling, ...
