Shader debugging often consists of having to iteratively insert printf statements or re-reproduce the issue with each new hypothesis. Using Nsight Graphics’ new Shader Debugger you can take a complex bug, find warps that show the issue, and quickly narrow it down to its root cause.

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.
