In context: Games today use highly-detailed textures that can quickly fill the frame buffer on many graphics cards, leading to stuttering and game crashes in recent AAA titles for many gamers. With ...

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 ...

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 ...

TL;DR: NVIDIA's RTX Neural Texture Compression, enabled by DirectX 12's Cooperative Vectors, reduces VRAM usage up to 7X while enhancing texture quality for 4K gaming. This AI-driven technology ...

Now more than ever, the best graphics cards aren’t defined by their raw performance alone — they’re defined by their features. Nvidia has set the stage with DLSS, which now encompasses upscaling, ...

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 ...

AMD may have caught up in performance, but Team Green's got features that still have no equal ...

Intel has been releasing more details about its Texture Set Neural Compression (TSNC), which uses AI to shrink texture data at install time or during runtime. If it does what it says on the tin, it ...

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 ...

AMD is set to reveal a research paper about its technique for neural texture block compression at the Eurographics Symposium on Rendering (EGSR) next week. It sounds like some technobabble, but the ...

The download size of video games is getting out of hand. For a massive open world game with ten years of updates like GTA Online, 110 GB isn't out of the realm of possibility. When a first-person ...
