Nvidia hasn't stated whether it's using tensor cores, but it does advertise the software as RTX-only.It may not look pretty, but it gets the job done. The latter should run just fine on GTX cards, but if it's using tensor (and actually needs the FP16 performance that brings to bear), RTX is required. Still a move by Nvidia and before anyone gets too upset, I've been Team Green (strictly for GPU) ever since my first 8800 GT.The question is really whether Broadcast is using the tensor cores, or if it's just using CUDA cores. Of course it doesn't have the fancy green screen effects this new features does, but even Zoom can do some of that (with varying success) withouth being tied to a specific GPU maker. Works great too, I have to give them that. I have been running RTX Voice on my GTX 1080 ever since RTX Voice was released.

The background removal is great for tutorials and game streams, but the blurring effect (lightly applied) is probably your best bet for meetings and podcasts. However, nothing beats actual reality and, if you're a semi-serious streamer or podcaster, you'll want to invest in one of the best gaming microphones and try to find a quiet room during broadcasts (if it's possible).

Nvidia Broadcast is an impressive piece of free software that will help you avoid embarrassment in meetings, podcasts and streams by accurately getting rid of unwanted background noise and cluttered backgrounds. I bet there's a way to do something like that with Raspberry Pi, but it would be neat if you could buy a mass market device that did this. However, if I moved outside of the camera's field of view, obviously, it couldn't help me.Īuto Frame made me wish that someone would invent a pan and tilt webcam that uses servo motors to actually adjust its viewpoint. I found that Auto Frame works as advertised when I moved my head left and right and saw the image adjust accordingly. If, and only if, you don't want to use one of the background modification options, you can enable Auto Frame, which has the webcam appear to follow your head by cropping the image to make sure you are centered at all times. (Image credit: Tom's Hardware) Auto Framing in Nvidia Broadcast When I blurred the background behind me, I still looked sharp and lit consistently with the world around me. Of all three background modification options, background blurring is the one I'd probably use most because it looks the least fake. When I held up my phone to the camera, it kept appearing and disappearing and eventually the system just showed my hand holding nothing. Interestingly, Nvidia Broadcast gets confused by objects you hold in your hand. So when I had my daughter on my lap and my son standing next to me, we were all included. The software not only recognized me, but also any other people who were in the frame with me. Interestingly, the software also considers your chair to be part of your body, which makes sense because things might look even more awkward if it made you look like you were floating on air. Sure, there was somewhat of a halo effect around me and I sometimes looked washed out or jagged, but the system did an impeccable job. No matter which of the background altering modes I chose - background blurring, background replacement or background removal - the system did an excellent job of separating me from the world behind me. Nvidia Broadcast uses image recognition to tell the difference between humans and the objects behind them and filters accordingly.
