Nvidia’s impressive RTX Voice now available for cheaper GTX graphics cards

Nvidia’s RTX Voice feature that eliminates background noise that could come from your microphone is no longer limited to RTX graphics cards. The latest software update allowed any GeForce GTX, Quadro or Titan Nvidia GPUs of the past to use the feature (via Tom’s Hardware)

Given that Nvidia’s newest RTX 30 series graphics cards are expensive and difficult to find (as they are almost any type of GPU of some capacity), this is a good way to extend the usefulness of older hardware. If you upgrade your graphics card to the Nvidia 410.18 driver, models up to the GTX 600 series launched in 2012 should be able to run the feature after downloading it. Here is a link to the download.

This update comes almost a year since the feature’s original announcement. It has also been about a year since some people quickly discovered a fairly simple hack to make it work on older cards without Nvidia’s help, despite the company’s initial claims that RTX Voice took advantage of Tensor cores focused on AI that are found exclusively on RTX graphics cards. Unfortunately, it is now official, so download it if you work or play in a noisy environment that you would like to make quieter.
