NVIDIA Shows Neural Texture Compression Cutting VRAM by 85% or Boosting Quality for the Same Budget
During a GTC 2026 session titled "Introduction to Neural Rendering," NVIDIA showcased its Neural Texture Compression (NTC) technique once again. Neural Texture Compression was showcased for the first time nearly three years ago and has been available via an SDK since early 2026, but so far, no game developers have used it. Perhaps that is why NVIDIA has once again taken the chance to explain its potential benefits. Senior DevTech Engineer Alexey…

NVIDIA's Neural Texture Compression Cuts VRAM Use From 6.5 GB to 970 MB
NVIDIA has released more details about its Neural Texture Compression (NTC) technology, which significantly reduces GPU VRAM usage by up to seven times. In a technology demo presented during one of the GTC 2026 sessions, NVIDIA revealed that its Neural Texture Compression can reduce VRAM usage from 6.5 GB to just 970 MB in certain scenes. This was demonstrated in a video comparing a Tuscan Villa and its interior. With virtually no difference in …
Graphics cards are often limited by their memory. Nvidia's new technique for image compression could now solve this problem. By using neural networks, the VRAM requirement should drastically decrease. A glance at players during the memory crisis? (Continue reading)
