Nvidia AI tech claims to slash VRAM usage by 85% with zero quality loss — Neural Texture Compression demo reveals stunning visual parity between 6.5GB of memory and 970MB

Nvidia has just demoed its Neural Texture Compression technique again at a GTC talk, where it showed VRAM usage dropping from 6.5 GB to just 970 MB in a scene. NTC uses a neural network to decompress textures instead of standard block-based compression, reducing texture size and VRAM usage while also improving final image quality.
