Nvidia’s RTX Voice feature that eliminates background noise that would otherwise come through your microphone is no longer limited to RTX graphics cards. The latest software update has enabled any GeForce GTX, Quadro or Titan brand Nvidia GPU in the past to use the feature (via Tom’s hardware).
Since Nvidia’s latest RTX 30 series graphics cards are expensive and hard to find (just like any kind of somewhat capable GPU), this is a great way to extend the usefulness of older hardware. If you are updating your graphics card to Nvidia’s 410.18 driver, models up to the GTX 600 series released in 2012 should be able to perform the function as soon as you download it. Here is a link to the download.
This update comes just one year since the original announcement of the feature. It’s also about a year ago that some people quickly invented a fairly simple hack to make it work on older cards without the help of Nvidia, despite initial claims by the company that RTX Voice typed the AI-focused Tensor cores has what is found exclusively in RTX graphics cards. . Alas, it’s official now, so download it if you work or play in a noisy environment that you want to silence.
