Nvidia's new texture compression tech slashes VRAM usage by up to 95% | Neural networks can apparently work wonders in reducing VRAM requirements for real-time graphics
Nvidia's Neural Texture Compression can provide gigantic savings in the amount of VRAM required to render complex 3D graphics, even though no one is using it (yet)....
Although the technology remains in beta, a newly released demo showcases how AI-based solutions could help address the increasingly controversial VRAM limitations of modern GPUs. While still in beta, the technology was tested by YouTube channel Compusemble, which ran the official demo on a modern gaming system to provide an early benchmark of its potential impact and what developers could achieve with it in the not-so-distant future. Reference Material: This mode does not use NTC, meaning textures remain in their original state, leading to high disk and VRAM usage.
