Nvidia’s Neural Texture Compression technology could be the answer to our VRAM woes, as it can help reduce the VRAM required to store the most demanding of textures by up to 95%. This could make lower-VRAM graphics cards more viable in the future, potentially increasing the lifespan of more modest …

Credit: Dong Wenjie/Getty Images The history of VR/AR displays is one of tradeoffs. Most of the market is dominated by single-plane models, which force the viewer to un-naturally focus on a single distance no matter how far objects in the scene should be. Waveguide-based multi-focal displays, like those by …
