AMD launches its own noise cancellation technology to compete with RTX Broadcast

A little over a couple of years ago Nvidia surprised us with the launch of RTX Voice (now part of the RTX Broadcast package), an interesting technology that uses the processing power of your graphics cards to apply surprisingly effective noise cancellation. Now it is the turn of AMD, which after leaking it a few days ago without giving many details, has released the function Noise suppressionpresent in your latest drivers.

Explained very briefly, AMD Noise Suppression technology is capable of differentiating our voice from ambient noise, filtering out unwanted sounds so that the conversations we have via the web are much cleaner and more intelligible. To do this, it uses a deep learning algorithm that runs in real time and has an effect not only on our microphone, but also on the audio that reaches us from our interlocutors (if we wish).

AMD Noise Suppression is a stable and generally available feature. Users who wish to activate it must download the latest official software and activate it on input and/or output devices. AMD Noise Suppression is apparently technology agnostic and works with virtually any software that supports voice communication, although it does have one major limitation: according to the company, for now it only works on computers with “Ryzen 5000 and newer, as well as [tarjetas gráficas] Radeon RX 6000 and newer”.

Otherwise, the latest AMD Software Pack brings major improvements to OpenGL support, claiming an FPS increase of up to 85% “in titles like Minecraft.” There’s also support for Radeon Super Resolution intelligent scaling technology on Radeon RX 5000/6000 systems and Ryzen hybrid graphics laptops, and Radeon Boost (the name AMD uses for variable rate shading) on ​​new games, including Valorant, Elden Ring and Resident Evil Village.
