this new Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 ‘Ada Lovelace’ series graphics cardswill soon be able to encode content in a tool AV1. compress video It is designed for transmission. Last week, the development team at Chromium, an open-source web browser project developed by Google, approved a request to start testing AV1 encoding for new GPUs.

40% faster

This feature should be available to owners of the new GeForce RTX 4080 and GeForce RTX 4090 in Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Until now, the only GPUs that could use the codec were the recently released Intel Arc.

Generally speaking, the AV1 standard provides better execution of functions than HEVC, which was more common on previous Radeon and GeForce models. Takes up much less storage space and as a result, load with less data to move over the internet. Coding for content creators delivering live content over the network, increase efficiency 40%Something that provides a significant improvement in image quality along with other features like HDR compatibility.

Capacity of new GPUs

With its new graphics card series, the manufacturer also promises the ability to record 8K60 quality video via dual AV1 encoders on its 8th generation Encoder (NVENC). “AV1 can reduce the size of uploaded files and at the same time superior picture and sound quality level” has the manufacturer. Likewise, after the release of the “Racer RTX” trailer created on NVIDIA Omniverse, a platform that allows several artists to work on a 3D project at the same time, the power of artificial intelligence with DLSS was revealed. Besides providing great benefits when running video games, it is also an ideal tool for speeding up workflow in programs such as Autodesk Arnold and Autodesk Maya, Blender Cycles and Redshift.

Among the innovations introduced for Omniverse, which is part of the Nvidia Studio suite, was also shown “RTX Remix”, an application aimed at helping the creators of video game mods. With this new technology, creators will be able to modify old-fashioned textures and elements to create remakes for existing ones.
