As AI continues to reshape creative workflows, NVIDIA RTX GPUs — including the latest RTX 50 Series and RTX PRO — are leading the charge. Built on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, these GPUs bring cutting-edge speed and intelligence to professional video editing, image generation, and real-time rendering.
DaVinci Resolve 20 Beta Adds AI Power with NVIDIA RTX
Blackmagic Design has released the DaVinci Resolve Studio 20 beta, packed with over 100 new features and a suite of AI-powered tools accelerated by NVIDIA RTX. The integration of the latest NVIDIA TensorRT software development kit ensures that all new AI functions run with maximum speed and efficiency.
Among the headline features are:
- UltraNR Noise Reduction, now running 75% faster on the RTX 5090
- Magic Mask v2, which adds a paintbrush for better selection control
- AI IntelliScript, auto-generating video timelines from scripts
- AI Animated Subtitles, syncing animated captions to spoken words
- AI Multicam Smartswitch, which intelligently selects camera angles
Thanks to RTX acceleration, editors can now finish complex projects faster and with greater creative freedom.
FLUX.1-dev: Generative AI at Your Fingertips
For creators experimenting with generative AI, FLUX.1-dev by Black Forest Labs is now available as an NVIDIA NIM microservice, ready to deploy across RTX-powered systems.
FLUX.1-dev includes three models:
- FLUX.1-dev for text-to-image generation
- FLUX.1-Depth-dev for spatial and structural control using depth maps
- FLUX.1-Canny-dev for detailed composition via edge detection
Optimized for NVIDIA TensorRT, FP4 compute, and Blackwell’s FP8 precision, FLUX.1-dev offers up to 2x performance and 4x faster generation compared to FP16 models. It’s ideal for workflows in concept art, storyboarding, and visual development, delivering high-quality images with just a few prompts.
Video Quality Boost With 4:2:2 Encoding on NVIDIA RTX
The DaVinci Resolve Studio 20 beta also introduces hardware-accelerated 4:2:2 encoding and decoding, now supported on GeForce RTX 50 Series and RTX PRO GPUs. This professional-grade color format provides:
- 2x more color data than 4:2:0
- 30% increase in file size (compared to 2x quality gain)
- Better chroma keying and color grading precision
Combined with enhanced decoders in RTX 5080, 5090, and RTX PRO GPUs, creators can import and edit:
- Up to 9x 4K60 or 5x 8K30 streams on GeForce RTX 5080/5090
- Up to 40x 4K30 or 10x 8K30 streams on RTX PRO 6000
This update ensures smooth multi-camera editing and live previews without lag — a game-changer for professional studios and independent creators alike.
Encoding Just Got Smarter and Faster
The ninth-gen NVIDIA video encoder found in RTX 50 Series GPUs offers:
- 5% better quality in HEVC and AV1 exports
- New Ultra High Quality (UHQ) mode, boosting quality an additional 5%
- Three-way split-frame encoding, using three NVENC modules for up to 37% faster encoding
GeForce RTX 5090 Desktop and Laptop GPUs now support this advanced encoding method, making them perfect for high-volume video output in production pipelines.
