OptiX 7.2.0 introduces: support for module specializations for runtime feature toggles, Arbitrary Output Variable (AOV) denoising for increased flexibility, improved error checking and debugging for an enhanced developer experience, as well as source libraries and sample code to support demand loading of rendering data.

Release Highlights NVIDIA® OptiX™ 7.2.0 (Oct 2020)

  • Specialization is a powerful new feature that allows renderers to maintain generality while increasing performance on specific use cases. The OptiX compiler is leveraged to fold constant values and elide complex code that is not required by a particular scene setup.
  • OptiX 7.2 adds the ability to denoise multiple AOV layers simultaneously along with the color image in a single denoising pass.
  • Validation mode, when turned on, enables extra safety checks when starting or debugging an OptiX application. For example, it enables debug exceptions automatically, and checks the CUDA stream status for every API call.
  • Demand loading source library enables textures to be loaded on demand, which greatly reduces memory requirements, start-up time, and disk I/O compared to preloading textures.

NOTE: Requires NVIDIA R456.71 driver or newer for Windows and 455.28 or newer for Linux..
