# Performance-Boosting Game Technology Nvidia's New RTX IO Technology Improves Game Performance By Kanesa D | Published 2023-07-26 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rtx-io References: [gizmochina](https://www.gizmochina.com/2023/07/25/nvidia-rtx-io-stuttering-issues/) & [nvidia](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/)  [Nvidia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portal-1) has introduced the innovative RTX IO technology, coinciding with the launch of Portal: Prelude RTX. This innovative technology allows your PC to shift the gaming workload from [CPU cores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-cache-boost) to the GPU, optimizing gaming performance. By increasing the I/O (input/output) bandwidth, RTX IO enables the delivery of compressed data directly to the GPU, effectively offloading the data processing burden from the CPU. Nvidia has confirmed a variety of benefits that come with RTX IO, including faster texture load times and reduced disk space usage. In Portal: Prelude RTX, the RTX IO technology delivers up to 5 times faster texture load times, significantly enhancing the overall gaming experience. Moreover, it impressively reduces disk space by an impressive 44 percent, optimizing storage efficiency and ensuring smooth operations.
