AMD Accidentally Posts A Potential Rival to Nvidia RTX Voice

I don't use it at all, my understanding was that it worked as a filter essentially to remove background noise ensure your voice remained clear when using a microphone.

Am I miles off the mark?
 
LTT did a video on it, looked impressive but is it a day to day solution for normal people (e.g. Zoom, Teams etc)?
 
Rtx voice is actually a game changer. The insane part is that it even works with broadcast mics, which seems nuts to me. I can have my gf watching tv or cooking or talking on the phone or whatever and nothing gets picked up on the mic.

Partially. I remembered what it was when reading the article.

It's a bit of a gimmick no? There's built in noise cancellation in Discord and Teams etc for those that need it. Unless you're sat in a DC or your wife is vacuuming whilst you're playing games, there's no value to it. Which is why there's probably only 12 people using it.

They even agree in the article that whilst impressive it's a long forgotten novelty for most.

Nothing wrong with getting extra features.

Well it more features that need to be tested when releasing a GPU and or drivers, so more opportunities for bugs to crop up. So more resources that arguably could be better spent on other things.

I'm still not sold on the idea of siphoning processing power from the GPU you are gaming on to filter your voice so you can chat to your mates.

The hell is RTX voice anyway and why should we care? Lol.

RTX Voice is NVIDIA's own noise cancellation software algorithm which is powered by the RTX cores in your GPU.

It's super duper effective at removing background noises without making you sound like you're underwater or highly compressed.

They have the same kind of thing for video too, where they perform a background separation, allowing you to blur/replace your background.


Both have been brilliant working from home next to a busy road - I can use my Blue Snowball mic without fear of having all the cars/typing/mouse clicks in the background.
 
I use RTX voice. I have new neighbours doing a lot of building work next door and it can get very loud. But RTX voice filters it well so those on stream/voice call can only hear my voice. It also filters out my mechanical keyboard, and I use the louder switches. It all depends on your environment and if it'll actually benefit you.

I didn't have to use it with a cheaper mic but ever since I got a Blue Yeti, it's been very sensitive and able to pick up sounds further away. Still, worth it since the main aim was to have my voice sound crystal clear.
 
If only RTX voice didn't require nvidia broadcast app. Would never install unnecessary trash apps on my PC.

Discord's nonproprietary noise suppression does the job just fine.
