📋 About This Mod

!(https://i.imgur.com/k8A1buX.jpg) Nvidium is a replacement rendering backend for sodium that uses nvidia only opengl extensions to increase fps by a significant amount. ## Compatibility This mod explicitly requires an nvidia gpu that supports mesh shaders. This feature was introduced in turing architecture, anything that is a 16xx series or newer (20xx series also works) that supports mesh shaders. ### Q: Will this mod work on my non-Nvidia system? ### A: No, the mod is not functional on non-Nvidia systems, but the Nvidium will automatically disable itself. Your gameplay will not be affected. ## Warning This mod uses uncommon technology (mesh shaders). This may result in minecraft terminating unexpectedly. ## How does it work With mesh shaders, a near fully gpu driven rendering pipeline is used, enabling very fast and performant geometry culling of terrain meaning your gpu can work much more efficiently. # Requires sodium to run ## Disables itself when iris is actively using shaders !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/071b0da4b0956d18fe61c0d1c37f3a92dc3a3f0a.webp)
