Amd could include vrs (variable rate shading) in its new charts
Table of contents:
NVIDIA has been using VRS (Variable Rate Shading) on its graphics cards for a while. This technology allows the GPU to focus more on complex parts and where there is more screen action, preventing more resources from being consumed on less complex parts. Until now, nothing was known about AMD's possible plans to use a similar technique. Although it looks like it could soon change.
AMD may include VRS (Variable Rate Shading) in its new charts
It is rumored that VRS could soon be used. An important step, so they can cut distances with NVIDIA GPUs.
Bet on the VRS
Using this adaptive variable shading technique would be key for AMD. Since as many have mentioned, its graphics tend to have a higher power consumption than other companies like NVIDIA. The use of this technology would allow this consumption to be better distributed, obtaining a more efficient performance in any case.
For now there are no concrete details on when the company will adopt this technology. There is speculation that it will be soon, but it seems that we will have to wait for next year for this to happen. At least this is the feeling it gives.
AMD itself has not confirmed anything about the use of VRS. Although it would not be unusual for them to end up using a technology like this. Especially if they really want to beat NVIDIA, whose graphics are inferior as they say. The use of the VRS may be something that helps show that they are better.
