NVIDIA TensorRT Boosts Stable Diffusion 3.5 Performance on NVIDIA GeForce RTX and RTX PRO GPUs

Generative AI has reshaped how people create, imagine and interact with digital content. As AI models continue to grow in capability and complexity, they require more VRAM, or video random access memory. The base Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large model, for example, uses over 18 GB of VRAM - limiting the number of systems that can run it well. By applying quantization to the model, noncritical layers can be removed or run with lower precision. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series and the Ada Lovelace generation of NVIDIA RTX PRO GPUs support FP8 quantization to help run these quantized models, and the latest-generation NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs also add support for FP4.

NVIDIA collaborated with Stability AI to quantize its latest model, Stable Diffusion (SD) 3.5 Large, to FP8 - reducing VRAM consumption by 40%. Further optimizations to SD3.5 Large and Medium with the NVIDIA TensorRT software development kit (SDK) double performance. In addition, TensorRT has been reimagined for RTX AI PCs, combining its industry-leading performance with just-in-time (JIT), on-device engine building and an 8x smaller package size for seamless AI deployment to more than 100 million RTX AI PCs. TensorRT for RTX is now available as a standalone SDK for developers.

NVIDIA Grabs Market Share, AMD Loses Ground, and Intel Disappears in Latest dGPU Update

Within the discrete graphics card sector, NVIDIA achieved a remarkable 92% share of the add-in board (AIB) GPU market in the first quarter of 2025, according to data released by Jon Peddie Research (JPR). This represents an 8.5% increase compared to NVIDIA's previous position. By contrast, AMD's share contracted to just 8%, down 7.3 points, while Intel's presence effectively disappeared, falling to 0% after losing 1.2 points. JPR reported that AIB shipments reached 9.2 million units during Q1 2025 despite desktop CPU shipments declining to 17.8 million units. The firm projects that the AIB market will face a compound annual decline of 10.3% from 2024 to 2028, although the installed base of discrete GPUs is expected to grow to 130 million units by the end of the forecast period. By 2028, an estimated 86% of desktop PCs are expected to feature a dedicated graphics card.

NVIDIA's success this quarter can be attributed to its launch of the RTX 50 series GPUs. In contrast, AMD's RDNA 4 GPUs were released significantly later in Q1. Additionally, Intel's Battlemage Arc GPUs, which were launched in Q4 2024, have struggled to gain traction, likely due to limited availability and low demand in the mainstream market. The broader PC GPU market, which includes integrated solutions, contracted by 12% from the previous quarter, with a total of 68.8 million units shipped. Desktop graphics unit sales declined by 16%, while notebook GPUs decreased by 10%. Overall, NVIDIA's total GPU share rose by 3.6 points, AMD's dipped by 1.6 points, and Intel's declined by 2.1 points. Meanwhile, data center GPUs bucked the overall downward trend, rising by 9.6% as enterprises continue to invest in artificial intelligence applications. On the CPU side, notebook processors accounted for 71% of shipments, with desktop CPUs comprising the remaining 29%.

Microsoft's Agility SDK Update Brings Shader Execution Reordering, Opacity Micromaps, and Tiled Resource Tier 4 Support

Microsoft has quietly rolled out two updates to its DirectX Agility SDK, and developers are already finding reasons to celebrate. The 1.717-preview release brings Shader Execution Reordering (SER) and Cooperative Vectors to the table, while the 1.616-retail update introduces Opacity Micromaps (OMM) and D3D12 Tiled Resource Tier 4 support. Together, they promise smoother and more efficient ray tracing, as well as improved resource handling. In 1.717-preview, the arrival of Cooperative Vectors means that vector and matrix operations, essential for AI-driven effects, now enjoy dedicated hardware acceleration. Instead of performing complex calculations on the CPU, developers can offload these tasks to the GPU, potentially unlocking richer neural rendering techniques in real time. Additionally, SER provides ray tracing pipelines with a helpful feature: it reorganizes the order in which shader threads execute, reducing wasted cycles caused by thread divergence.

Early internal tests show up to a 2× performance boost in path-traced scenes when SER is enabled. The preview also updates Direct3D's video encoder with a HEVC Reference List extension for longer-term reference frames, a two-pass low-resolution first encode, and built-in PSNR metrics so creators can see exactly how crisp their output really is. The 1.616-retail SDK centers on Opacity Micromaps, a feature designed to handle alpha-tested geometry, such as foliage or chain-link fences, without firing off expensive AnyHit shader calls. With OMM, supported GPUs intelligently skip unnecessary work, and Microsoft's numbers suggest a speedup of as much as 2.3x in path-traced scenes. For example, one NVIDIA demo increased from approximately 55 FPS to around 90 FPS simply by enabling OMM. Today, only NVIDIA's RTX cards have driver-level support for these micromaps, but AMD and Intel are preparing their own updates for the coming months. That same 1.616-retail release also unlocks D3D12 Tiled Resource Tier 4, finally lifting the restriction on packed mipmaps in texture arrays. This means finer-grained texture streaming, less wasted memory, and more creative freedom in writing shader code. NVIDIA has confirmed its support for this tier, Intel's drivers are already shipping, and AMD is aiming to release compatible drivers by early June 2025.

US Senators Push to Geotrack High-End GPUs in New Chip Security Bill

US lawmakers are moving forward with a proposal requiring high-performance graphics cards and AI processors to carry built-in geotracking technology to keep sensitive chips out of hostile hands. Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas introduced the Chip Security Act on May 12, 2025. Under this legislation, the Commerce Department would have the authority to mandate location-verification features in any device subject to US export controls, with manufacturers given six months after enactment to comply. The bill applies to a broad set of products classified under export control classification numbers 3A090, 4A090, 4A003.z, and 3A001.z. That includes everything from advanced AI accelerators and rack-scale servers to certain gaming graphics cards like NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090. Manufacturers would be required to embed hardware or firmware capable of reporting each device's physical location back to a centralized registry maintained by the Commerce Department.

Exporters must also notify the Bureau of Industry and Security immediately if a unit is diverted, tampered with, or appears at an unauthorized location. To keep pace with evolving security threats, the legislation calls for a joint one-year study by the Commerce Department and the Department of Defense on potential new tracking and safeguard mechanisms. Following that, the two departments would conduct annual reviews for three years. If they determine that additional measures are warranted, they would have two years to draft and finalize rules that outline new requirements and present a detailed implementation roadmap to Congress. NVIDIA has noted that its current architectures are not built for post-sale tracking, and adding such a capability could delay product launch schedules and increase development costs. AMD and Intel are likely to face similar obstacles, as integrating secure location-verification may require redesigning sensitive intellectual property and altering established supply-chain processes.
