As is the trend with every generation of GPUs, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 Series is expected to come feature-laden, either with new or improved versions of currently existing ones. And according to a clipping of GPU features from Inno3D, one new feat of sorcery we could be looking at is neural rendering.
As to what neural rendering is and how it is expected to be applied to graphics, it is, in broad strokes, AI being worked into ray tracing. To put it in another way: it is a neural network that learns to render a scene from an arbitrary viewpoint.
Inno3D’s fluff, which appears to have been removed already, suggests that the RTX 50 Series will include “Neural Rendering Capabilities” but doesn’t say much save for how much it “revolutionise how graphics are processed and displayed”. It also mentions that Blackwell will introduce “Advanced DLSS Technology” and “Enhanced Ray Tracing”, the former possibly a reference to DLSS 4.
We’ll just have to wait until 6 January (7 January for us) and listen in to NVIDIA’s keynote at CES 2025 and listen to the good word being preached by Jen-Hsun Huang.
