AMD Unveils AI-Powered Texture Compression to Cut Game Sizes

New technology promises reduced download times and lower VRAM requirements without altering game performance.

AMD's Neural Texture Block Compression will be presented at the Eurographics Symposium on Rendering in London.
The new method uses neural networks to compress game textures, significantly reducing data sizes.
This technology aims to ease the burden on storage and VRAM, enhancing gaming performance.
The compression technique requires no changes to runtime execution, simplifying integration for developers.
Similar to Nvidia's Neural Texture Compression, AMD's solution could benefit gamers with slower internet speeds or limited storage.
