Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. At Siggraph 2023, NVIDIA announced its new AI-powered Neural Texture Compression (NTC) to reduce texture sizes without sacrificing detail. This would mean ...

TL;DR: Intel's Texture Set Neural Compression uses AI to drastically reduce texture memory and storage needs by up to 18 times with minimal visual quality loss. Available later this year as an SDK, it ...

Ever since texture mapping took off back in the 1990s, texture access has been recognised as one of the most important consumers of memory bandwidth in graphics systems – to the point where the amount ...

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 ...

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 ...

For as long as modern rendering has existed, textures have been the biggest VRAM hog in the room. You can optimize geometry, tweak lighting, and scale resolution, sure, but those high-resolution ...

PC gamers face an ongoing problem: more powerful games demand more powerful resources, all in the service of games that deliver more realistic experiences and graphics. But can gamers avoid paying out ...

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 ...
