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 ...
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 Neural Texture Compression technology could be the answer to our VRAM woes, as it can help reduce the VRAM required to store the most demanding of textures by up to 95%. This could make lower ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
PC graphics have hit a standstill. Of course, we're still getting beautiful games that push the technical envelope on PC, from Doom: The Dark Ageswith its real-time path tracing to Nvidia's ...
AMD is set to reveal a research paper about its technique for neural texture block compression at the Eurographics Symposium on Rendering (EGSR) next week. It sounds like some technobabble, but the ...
The download size of video games is getting out of hand. For a massive open world game with ten years of updates like GTA Online, 110 GB isn't out of the realm of possibility. When a first-person ...
