Image Processing Technologies for Rendering

This suite of NVIDIA super-sampling and denoising technologies speeds up rendering times and works seamlessly with ray-traced sources, letting you create photorealistic visuals faster than ever.

NVIDIA Rendering Technologies

RTX Path Tracing

Whether you’re rasterizing, tracing rays, or both, this reference path tracer will ensure the physically-accurate lighting produced is true to life in real time. RTX Path Tracing provides you the flexibility to take individual components that suit your needs or take the entire path tracer and integrate it directly into your game engine. This path tracer leverages new hardware in NVIDIA RTX GPUs, allowing you to provide the highest-quality rendering modes with uncompromised performance.

Real-Time Denoisers

Remove image noise generated from lighting, shadows, and other ray-traced sources in real time. NVIDIA Real-Time Denoisers (NRD) provides a cleaner and more stable image faster than traditional denoisers. It scales across APIs and is designed to increase the value of other RTX technologies.

AI-Accelerated Denoiser

Reduce rendering iteration times with NVIDIA OptiX™, a high-quality post-processing denoiser. OptiX uses GPU-accelerated AI to dramatically reduce the time to render high-fidelity images that are visually noiseless. The quality and performance is expandable through developer training of the denoiser neural network using images provided by their renderer.
