AMD is on the verge of releasing a competitor for RTX Voice, a feature for Nvidia graphics cards that cancels out background noise while on a call or otherwise using your mic. This is according to a trailer that AMD posted on its YouTube channel (apparently in error), Tom’s Hardware Report. Thankfully, a copy of the trailer was downloaded and uploaded to the AMD subreddit before it was taken down by Reddit user u/xenobian.
The leaked trailer suggests that AMD’s noise suppression feature will work in a similar fashion to Nvidia’s RTX Voice (later rolled out to Nvidia’s Broadcast app). It uses a “real-time deep learning algorithm” to offer “two-way noise-reduction” that filters background noise from both outgoing and incoming microphone audio, and apparently AMD’s existing Adrenaline software. built in.
The big question is how well AMD’s noise suppression technology works in practice. Nvidia’s RTX voice works so well that it sometimes feels like magic, and it happily cancels out the loudest of mechanical keyboards when I’ve used it in the past. AMD arguably needs to match features like this if it has any hope of overcoming its underdog position in the GPU market.
There’s no mention of when the feature might receive an official announcement, or what hardware will be required to use it. When Nvidia initially released its RTX Voice software, it seemed that the AI-focused Tensor cores found in its new graphics cards were the key to getting it working. However, in the following months Nvidia introduced official support for the feature on older cards that lacked dedicated hardware. Here’s hoping AMD’s feature works across an equally wide range of devices.
