Testing Nvidia's RTX Mega Geometry tech — VRAM-reducing tech a leap forward for path-traced rendering

Nvidia’s RTX Mega Geometry aims to make dense, path-traced scenes more efficient by reducing VRAM use and visual artifacts.

A hands-on test found it can speed BVH updates and trace full-detail geometry more effectively through GPU-driven cluster acceleration.

The feature leans on newer Blackwell RT Core hardware, so it should benefit RTX 50-series cards most.

If adopted broadly, it could let games render much richer geometry with fewer compromises in real-time path tracing.
