NVIDIA's RTX Neural Texture Compression (NTC) technology has undergone rigorous testing, revealing a staggering 96% reduction in VRAM usage. The tech-savvy YouTube channel Compusemble conducted a comprehensive benchmark analysis of RTX NTC, demonstrating its remarkable efficiency in shrinking texture memory size compared to conventional compression methods. The experiments were conducted on an RTX 4090 graphics card, showcasing two distinct modes: "NTC Transcoded to BCn" and "Sample Inference". Both modes delivered substantial VRAM savings, underscoring the transformative potential of this technology despite potential minor impacts on performance.
