AMD has further detailed its DGF or Dense Geometry Format technology, which rivals NVIDIA's RTX Mega Geometry, delivering vastly higher geometry counts in ray tracing games while offering new compression methods designed with future RDNA GPUs in mind. As Geometry Scale Increases in Games, Tech Such as AMD's DGF & NVIDIA's RTX Mega Geometry becomes vital in powering advanced ray-traced games Last year, AMD announced its Dense Geometry Format technology, or DGF in short. This tech aims to handle massive polygon counts by streaming geometry clusters rather than full scenes. The principle of AMD's DGF is simple. It is designed […]

At GDC 2026, NVIDIA and CD Projekt RED showed a demo of the Polish studio's The Witcher 4 using NVIDIA's RTX Mega Geometry to path trace forests for the first time. Now, NVIDIA has released the full video replay of the GDC 2026 session 'The Future of Path Tracing | Best Practices, Optimizations & Future Standards', which includes lots of interesting details on that The Witcher 4/RTX Mega Geometry demo. Martin Stich, Senior Director of Engineering at NVIDIA, introduced the company's latest work based on Mega Geometry: a level-of-detail system for foliage. He notes that no new APIs or hardware […]
