AMD appears to be on the cusp of releasing a competitor to RTX Voice, a feature for Nvidia graphics playing cards that cancels out background noise once you’re on a name or in any other case utilizing your mic. That’s in accordance to a trailer that AMD posted to its YouTube channel (apparently in error), Tom’s Hardware experiences. Thankfully, a duplicate of the trailer was downloaded earlier than it was deleted by Reddit person u/zenobian and uploaded to the AMD subreddit.
The leaked trailer means that AMD’s Noise Suppression feature will work very equally to Nvidia’s RTX Voice (which has subsequently been rolled into Nvidia’s Broadcast app). It makes use of “a real-time deep learning algorithm” to supply “two-way noise-reduction” that filters background noise out of each outgoing and incoming microphone audio, and is seemingly constructed into AMD’s present Adrenalin software program.
The huge query is how properly AMD’s noise suppression expertise works in follow. Nvidia’s RTX Voice works so properly it typically seems like magic, and after I’ve used it up to now it fortunately canceled out the sound of the clackiest of mechanical keyboards. AMD arguably wants to match options like these if it has any hope of overcoming its underdog standing within the GPU market.
There’s no point out of when the feature might obtain an official announcement, or what {hardware} will be required to make use of it. When Nvidia initially launched its RTX Voice software program, it appeared the AI-focused tensor cores present in its newer graphics playing cards have been key to making it work. However, in later months Nvidia rolled out official help for the feature on far older playing cards that lacked the devoted {hardware}. Here’s hoping AMD’s feature works throughout a equally broad vary of units.
Representatives from AMD didn’t reply to The Verge’s request for remark.
