OptiX 9.1 has been released!
NOTE: support for OptiX 6 based applications has been removed from the driver as of R590. You can continue to use OptiX 6 by using the R580 driver or earlier.
Here are the main highlights from OptiX version 9.1:
- Module creation can now be cancelled midway
- New API enables customizable application-side compile caching
- Added pipeline global variables
- Improved denoiser image quality
- NVRTC support for cooperative vectors
- Several new pipeline options for increased control & build performance
NOTE: there is a new pipeline launch params size setting that is optional in OptiX 9.1, but will become mandatory in the next major version.
NVIDIA OptiX 9.1.0 requires a R590 driver or later.
