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 ...

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 ...

In context: Modern game engines can put severe strain on today's hardware. However, Nvidia's business decisions have left many GPUs with less VRAM than they should. Fortunately, improved texture ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

The GPU maker named after a Roman vengeance daemon, Nvidia has published a paper which details a new algorithm for texture compression which could reduce system requirements for future AAA titles. 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 ...
