- CUDA cores: Up to 1.5x the FP32 throughput of the previous generation for significant performance improvements in graphics and compute workloads.
- Power efficiency: Up to a 2x performance boost across professional graphics, rendering, AI and compute workloads, all within the same 70W of power as the previous generation.
- Immersive workflows: Up to 3x performance for virtual-reality workflows over the previous generation.
- 16GB of GPU memory: An expanded canvas enables users to tackle larger projects, along with support for error correction code memory to deliver greater computing accuracy and reliability for mission-critical applications.
- DLSS 3: Delivers a breakthrough in AI-powered graphics, significantly boosting performance by generating additional high-quality frames.
- AV1 encoder: Eighth-generation NVIDIA Encoder, aka NVENC, with AV1 support is 40% more efficient than H.264, enabling new possibilities for broadcasters, streamers and video callers.
NVIDIA RTX Enterprise Driver Delivers New Features, Adds Support for RTX 2000 Ada
The latest RTX Enterprise Driver, available now to download, includes a range of features that enhance graphics workflows, along with support for the RTX 2000 Ada.
The AI-based, standard dynamic range to high dynamic range tone-mapping feature, called Video TrueHDR, expands the color range and brightness levels when viewing content in Chrome or Edge browsers. With added support for Video Super Resolution and TrueHDR to the NVIDIA NGX software development kit, video quality of low-resolution sources can be enhanced, and SDR content can easily be converted to HDR.
Additional features in this release include:
- TensorRT-LLM, an open-source library that optimizes and accelerates inference performance for the latest large language models on NVIDIA GPUs.
- Video quality improvement and enhanced coding efficiency to video codecs through bit depth expansion techniques and new low-delay B frame.
- Ability to offload work from the CPU to the GPU with the execute indirect extension NVIDIA API for quicker task completion.
- Ability to display the GPU serial number in the NV Control Panel on desktops for easier registration to the NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise platforms.
