Designing rich content and graphics for VR experiences means creating complex materials and high-resolution textures. But rendering all that content at VR resolutions and frame rates can be challenging, especially when rendering at the highest quality. You can address this challenge by using variable rate shading (VRS) to focus shader resources on certain parts of an image��specifically��

For information about VRSS 2, see Delivering Dynamic Foveated Rendering with NVIDIA VRSS 2. The Virtual Reality (VR) industry is in the midst of a new hardware cycle �C higher resolution headsets and better optics being the key focus points for the device manufacturers. Similarly on the software front, there has been a wave of content-rich applications and an emphasis on flawless VR��

We introduced Variable Rate Shading (VRS) last year with the Turing architecture. This new, easy to implement rendering technique allows developers to vary the amount of processing power spent across the image, to spend time and increase quality in the areas where they are most needed. Since virtual reality demands both a high performance and a high image quality, VRS is the perfect fit for VR��

NVIDIA Turing GPUs enable a new, easily implemented rendering technique, Variable Rate Shading (VRS). VRS increases rendering performance and quality by applying a varying amount of processing power to different areas of the image. VRS works by changing the number of pixels that can be processed by a single pixel shader operation. Single-pixel shading operations can now be applied to a block��

NVIDIA VRWorks 360 is no longer available or supported. For more information about other VRWorks products, see NVIDIA VRWorks Graphics. There are over one million VR headsets in use this year, and the popularity of 360 video is growing fast. From YouTube to Facebook, most social media platforms support 360 video and there are many cameras on the market that simplify capturing these videos.
