NVIDIA announced innovative technologies such as RTX Mega Geometry and Neural Texture Compression, which will improve graphic performance with Optix 9.
NVIDIAhas introduced new tools that will open ground in the world of games and graphics development. The Optix 9 library makes light and geometry simulations faster and more efficient, while the Neural Texture Compression (NTC) technology promises lower data usage and higher performance in games. These innovations aim to provide great convenience, especially for game developers and designers. So, what exactly these vehicles offer?
Faster geometry processing with RTX Mega Geometry
RTX Mega Geometry, one of the most striking features of Optix 9, accelerates the processing of huge dynamic triangular networks. This technology will make a big difference especially in the games and films that need to be visualized. Mega Geometry is optimized to provide the best performance on NVIDIA’s RTX 50 Series (Blackwell) graphics cards.
In addition, the Optix 9 offers a new API called Cooperative Vectors, which enables the integration of small artificial intelligence networks supported by NVIDIA TENSOR CORES into Shader programs. In this way, light and shadow calculations can be made in a much more sensitive and realistic way.
Neural Texture Compression (NTC) is a technology that reduces memory consumption by compressing the textures used in games. This feature enables the reconstruction of tissues by using the artificial intelligence model instead of storage of traditional methods. For example, the color, brightness and detail information of a surface such as wood, metal or fabric is combined in a single compressed file. NTC offers lower hardware requirements by allowing games to use less disk space, PCIe and Vram. Although NVIDIA states that all graphics cards that support Shader Model 6 can use NTC, the best results will be taken on the RTX 20 series and above cards.
The Optix 9 and the Neural Texture Compression are a candidate to set a new standard in the world of graphics development. NVIDIA’s innovative tools offer faster, more efficient and more realistic content for both game developers and designers. We will see how these technologies will create a transformation in the world of games and designs in the coming period.
