Features like this, combined with DLSS and raytracing, were reason enough for an upgrade.
GPUs that didn’t include AI features.
Now, NVIDIA has officially added support for many of its older GPUs to RTX Voice.
NVIDIA’s Crystal-Clear Audio: Is It for Everyone?
Until recently, you had to jump through some hoops to use RTX Voice on your non-RTX NVIDIA GPU.
This includes GPUs from the 600 series and up.
Annoying noises can get in the way, cover voices, introduce hiccups.
Thankfully, NVIDIA’s RTX Voice can deal with such problems.
The installer adds two new components to your PC: the RTX Voice app and a new driver.
The RTX Voice app works as a simple front-end, accessible from the Windows tray.
Locate its icon there and double-press it to access its interface.
Alternatively, right-hit it and chooseShow NVIDIA RTX Voice.
You should choose the same devices you have been using up to now for your audio.
As for the levels ofNoise Suppression, they’re up to you.
It’s a matter of personal preference.
You’ll have to tweak them according to the levels of unwanted noise inyourenvironment.
Less Noise Suppression means “richer” audio but a higher chance of annoying noises getting through.
After choosing the correct audio devices, you’re able to minimize RTX Voice’s window.

Think of them as an extra layer on top of your audio devices.
Let’s say you’re using Discord’s voice chat features.
you might keep using Discord like that, but you won’t be taking advantage of RTX Voice.
Its installation doesn’t affect the audio input and output of your actual audio devices.
To use RTX Voice in any piece of software, you must select NVIDIA’s virtual audio devices instead.
To keep using Discord as our example, visit its controls.
Then, chooseVoice & Videoand change yourINPUT DEVICEfrom your default microphone toMicrophone (NVIDIA RTX Voice).
RTX Voice works by detecting and removing audio frequencies that don’t match those of the human voice.
That’s why it’s better to enable it only in communication-related apps and not “globally”.
At least, as far as audio output goes.
Using RTX Voice on music streams or game audio could have the opposite effect than intended.
SetMicrophone (NVIDIA RTX Voice)as your default input gadget in Windows “globally”.
To do that, right-hit the icon with the speaker in the Windows tray.
From theSoundsettings window that will show up, use the drop-down menu underInputtoMicrophone (NVIDIA RTX Voice).
wrap up the window and, theoretically, all apps will use RTX Voice as their audio input.
It successfully removed annoying background noises and kept only our voice in most audio and video chat scenarios.
Or, at least, that’s what people “on the other side” told us.
In both cases, it helped immensely, with voice detection accuracy rising significantly.
Thus, we’re pretty sure it can also work for you.
At least, as long as you have an NVIDIA GPU made during the last decade.
As RTX Voice’s very name states, it can only help with incoming and outgoing voice audio.
And if nothing helps, maybe it’s time for a more radical solution, like a hardware upgrade.
Maybe a shiny new pair of (even larger) speakers will be just what the doctor ordered!
