NVIDIA has introduced RTX Mega Geometry, a new technology that enhances geometric detail in ray tracing without sacrificing image quality. The feature is designed to work with the RTX 5090 and Unreal Engine 5.
GPU-based CLAS generates up to 256 triangles at once.
The technology uses a GPU-based CLAS that can generate up to 256 triangles at once, reducing the overhead of BVH rebuilds. According to Tom's Hardware, RTX Mega Geometry improves BVH rebuild speed and lowers CPU overhead. It also eliminates the need for proxy meshes and reduces visual artifacts, though it may incur a performance cost.
Tom's Hardware reports that applying RTX Mega Geometry to existing assets can boost performance and reduce VRAM usage. The technology enables playable frame rates with high geometric detail in path tracing, a feat previously impossible with UE5 and the RTX 5090.
NVIDIA has not confirmed pricing or availability for RTX Mega Geometry. The company has not provided a release timeline or specific product details beyond the technology preview.
