Last year, we introduced RTX Mega Geometry, which brings unprecedented geometric detail to path-traced worlds. By compressing geometry into clusters, it handles massive scenes and updates them up to 100x faster than previous methods. At #GDC2026, we showcased a new foliage system coming to RTX Mega Geometry that aims to tackle the demanding compute and memory requirements found in large-scale natural environments.
