About RTX Voice

NVIDIA RTX Voice is a new plugin that leverages NVIDIA RTX GPUs and their AI capabilities to remove distracting background noise from your broadcasts, voice chats, and remote video conferencing meetings. This allows users to "go live" or join a meeting without having to worry about unwanted sounds like loud keyboard typing or other ambient noise in noisy environments. RTX Voice also suppresses background noise from players in loud environments, making incoming audio easier to understand.
RTX Voice is currently in Beta and we would love to hear your feedback.

Requirements

To use RTX Voice, you must be using an NVIDIA GeForce or Quadro RTX graphics card, update to Driver 410.18 or newer, and be on Windows 10.

Supported Apps
  • OBS Studio
  • XSplit Broadcaster
  • XSplit Gamecaster
  • Twitch Studio
  • Discord
  • Google Chrome
  • WebEx*
  • Skype*
  • Zoom*
  • Slack*
* RTX Voice speaker output may exhibit issues in these apps.

Now that Discord had something like this, it sucked to hear my keyboard in Instant Replay (Shadowplay) recordings, so this is awesome. Or at least will be the day I upgrade to a RTX.

Just tried it in a stream, HOLY SHIT
Didn't even know he had music playing until I manually turned it off..... It was just his voice
It does muffle the voice a bit on the receiving end, haven't tried it with my mic yet, just testing in a stream right now

This will help me alot.

I wanna start streaming soon and I remember how some of my viewers can hear my family talking and my dogs barking. Hopefully this will help.

The muffle part is more of a loss in quality which is bad, but it for sure works outside of that
Just got in discord with a friend who has mic sounds randomly and his mic is always lit up because of it, heard none of it at all and someone in discord was even playing music loudly in the background and eating, also heard none of that
Doesn't seem to do much to my mic though, I even have a Yeti and people still heard my loud ass keyboard

I don't hear other peoples but they hear mine still
I have it setup properly and everything, I was doing an audio test in windows and my keyboard still sounds pretty identical

Do you use Discord? They just put noise suppression in that works really well for me, people don't hear mine at all.

Noise suppression is on automatically for most people, they even tell you to turn it off if youre using RTX voice, just doesn't do much for my setup I guess
Probably the high quality mic I have

Seems that it's essentially a noise gate/expander/noise reduction plug-in, so people who aren't using supported cards should be able accomplish the same effect using VST plug-ins if their software supports them. Still cool that it seems to work so seamlessly.

I just tried with a friend, when we play racing games with a wheel, he hears when I shift gears with the paddles when I talk, I enabled RTX Voice and he can't hear it anymore.
Really nice feature.

It actually works with everything you hear, it can eliminate the noise from twitch streams for example as well

It seemed to mostly remove the sound of my husband's mechanical keyboard, especially when it was just the sound of typing and nothing else.
Awesome. The most annoying thing from doing voice chat with my groups is mechanical keyboards sound. Everyone have one and since everyone use voice detection it's always there.

The Krisp noise suppression? It was not on automatically for myself or anybody else in my server. I had to manually toggle it and it is night and day.

Yup, just had to disable it, never once enabled it so it was just there by default, same for my friends who just downloaded the app

Yea talking to my mom on Google Voice with it with loud music in the background and she can't hear it at all. Not until I stopped talking for an extended period of time could she hear a bit of it, which again went away when I started talking.

very impressive.

There is a problem though, if you enable noise reduction for all incoming audio (to reduce noise from other people's noise on voice chat), it also "mutes" your own game audio. Unless I got something configured incorrectly, this app definitely needs an option to reduce noise from certain programs and not others. I would want to reduce noise from my voice chats but not from the game I'm playing.

That definitely seems like it would be unintended for a gaming-specific application like this one. Are you sure you have everything configured correctly?

It says in the instructions to not enable that option unless you absolutely need it for this very reason, it would probably be hard to implement for specific programs since its acting as a virtual device in between the source and the output

Damn this is surprising but also makes me happy those cores are being used for a bunch of things now.

In time RTX Tensor Cores will be used to decide what game you want to play at any given time by learning about you. No more "I don't know what to play".
/s

:) But yeah, really cool that we are actually seeing some real uses of tensor cores.

The real question.... does it get rid of the little click sounds you make when you have a dry mouth?

🤔

This works better than voicemeeter in making my Snowball mic sound better.

Looks like this creates a constant power request in the background like voicemeeter(you can check this by typing powercfg /requests in the cmd window). Your PC won't go to sleep automatically on its own as long as there's a power request.

So this is super cool but i broke my installation of it and can't fix it. I tried out the option to filter incoming audio because i have some people in my friend group that don't seem to care how much noise their mics pick up, but I didn't like it so i turned it off. The virtual device it created kept taking default audio for game launches so I went to disable it in Windows settings since unchecking it in the RTX voice app didnt work, and this rendered my RTX voice app unable to open, the devices vanished from Device Manager, and a re-install doesn't fix it.

Just tried it out on DIscord. Works way better than the Noise Cancellation on there.

Was slamming on my keyboard and Discord was showing nothing. Wow.

There's a little audio quirkiness when it's blocking out a lot of sounds but I feel like unless your really listening it should be fine, especially for something like Discord.

Ok I'm going to have to check this out tomorrow. Thought in concerned about the possible performance impact in game. I'll also need to figure out how to implement this with my Voicemeeter setup.

Seems like it'll be great for cutting out me box fan noise I'm summer.

Update, fixed it, there's a separate Nvidia Virtual Audio device controller that doesnt remove itself when you uninstall RTX voice.


Interesting. Will give it a whirl. Is there a way to get it working with Teamspeak?

It acts as a virtual microphone so setting the TS input to RTX voice theoretically would work

Didn't notice any performance issues when I've been using it.

The Epos Vox video mentioned 5-10% performance hit and possibly up to 25% if you use it on input and output, but that might be for low
tier cards. It'll be interesting to see benchmarks.

I've been using this ever since it released, actually been blown away. I personally have a Razer BlackWidow Elite for my desktop, which is quite audible when typing, but RTX Voice cancels out all of it. Used on Discord all weekend, works flawlessly.

Props to NVIDIA, this is great stuff.

Well on my machine it has had no noticeable impact whatsoever in my experience this week. I'm on a 2080.

It is pretty remarkable, actually. I have an Alt keyboard with halo clears and it is very loud/ 3 inches away from my mic and it doesn't pick it up at all. I literally have to slam my desk for it to pick something up that isn't my voice.

I wonder if you could use a second cheap dedicated card to not get performance drops

Has anyone actually showed any performance loss in-game other than what this guy said?

I've used it and literally can't notice a difference... it is also supposedly using the tensor cores which go unused if you're not using RTX right?
