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 ...

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 ...

Back in the late ‘90s, you compressed because storage was limited, bandwidth was expensive, and users valued rapid response. Then, file compression was about encoding, restructuring or modifying data ...

Today, we're benchmarking and analyzing one of Nvidia's most interesting new technologies in development: RTX Neural Texture Compression (NTC), an AI-driven technology that uses Tensor Cores to ...
