Nvidia and Intel have unveiled AI-powered texture compression technologies that can dramatically reduce VRAM usage in games while preserving visual quality. Nvidia's latest Neural Texture Compression ...
One concern following NVIDIA's introduction of its ultra-efficient Neural Texture Compression (NTC) was that it would remain proprietary to only NVIDIA's GPUs. Intel has since introduced its own ...
Forward-looking: Intel is pitching a new way to pack game textures that leans heavily on neural networks but still nods to traditional block compression. The company's Texture Set Neural Compression, ...
Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. Texture compression has been used in PC gaming for decades, ever since the first texture was applied to a basic 3D character model or environment. In 2025, ...
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 ...
