In creative apps, creators will see improvements for Generative AI, video editing, livestreaming and 3D rendering thanks to updates to the GeForce RTX 50 Series dedicated hardware.
The updated fifth generation Tensor Cores add support for FP4, delivering 2X performance over FP8 gen over gen while reducing the VRAM required to run Generative AI models. And the performance boost is even more compared to FP16.
GeForce RTX 50 Series Ray Tracing cores yield an up to 1.4X performance improvement in 3D rendering apps. Plus DLSS Multi Frame Generation boosts viewport framerates in creative apps - delivering 2X the performance over the previous generation when editing 3D scenes in applications like D5 Render.
The video encoders and decoders add 4:2:2 pro-grade color format support, allowing you to decode up to 9x 4K30 4:2:2 streams per decoder, and encoding up to a staggering 11X encoding speed compared to software encoders. There’s also three 9th Gen NVIDIA encoders on the GeForce RTX 5090 and 2 on the RTX 5080, and 2x 6th Gen NVIDIA decoders in both, to boost video export speed. The HEVC and AV1 encoders have a 5% improvement in quality. There is also a new AV1 Ultra High Quality mode that improves the quality by an extra 5%.
Livestreamers also benefit from the ninth-gen NVIDIA encoders for better livestreaming quality, especially for those using NVIDIA Broadcast. The new NVIDIA Broadcast app comes with two new beta effects focused on pushing the livestreaming experience to the next level: Studio Voice enhances a user’s microphone to match that of a high-quality microphone. Virtual Key Light relights the subject to deliver even lighting as if a physical key light was defining the form and dimension of the individual.
