Nvidium is a replacement rendering backend for sodium that uses nvidia only opengl extensions to increase fps by a significant amount.<\/p>\n
## Compatibility
\nThis mod explicitly requires an nvidia gpu that supports mesh shaders.
\nThis feature was introduced in turing architecture, anything that is a 16xx series or newer (20xx series also works) that supports mesh shaders. <\/p>\n
### Q: Will this mod work on my non-Nvidia system?
\n### A: No, the mod is not functional on non-Nvidia systems, but the Nvidium will automatically disable itself. Your gameplay will not be affected. <\/p>\n
## Warning
\nThis mod uses uncommon technology (mesh shaders). This may result in minecraft terminating unexpectedly.<\/p>\n
## How does it work
\nWith 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.<\/p>\n
# Requires sodium to run
\n## Disables itself when iris is actively using shaders<\/p>\n
