AMD NTBC (Neural Texture Block Compression) Shrinks Storage Footprint by 70%

As announced in late June, AMD unveiled an AI-powered method to compress textures called NTBC (Neural Texture Block Compression). Following its presentation at last week's 35th Eurographics Symposium on Rendering, AMD has now released the paper penned by researchers Shin Fujieda and Takahiro Harada on the GPU Open website, revealing details on this new technique. The objective of NTBC is to reduce game file sizes, which have been on a constant increase over the past few years. It's not at all rare anymore for games to require around 150GB of free disk space to be installed. The main culprit for […]
