Summary

Nvidium Mod (1.21.1, 1.20.1) is made to boost Minecraft performance on PCs with Nvidia graphics cards. It swaps out Sodium’s rendering system for an OpenGL version that uses only Nvidia GPU features. By taking advantage of these Nvidia-specific capabilities, Nvidium greatly improves FPS (frames per second) in Minecraft, particularly on stronger Nvidia GPUs.

To use Nvidium, you need an Nvidia GPU that supports mesh shaders, specifically from the 16xx series or newer, including the 20xx series. If your PC lacks an Nvidia GPU, Nvidium will turn off automatically, so it won’t affect your gaming experience. Keep in mind that Nvidium does not work with shaders. If you try to use shaders (like Iris) while Nvidium is active, it will deactivate itself.

Key Features

• Performance Boost: Nvidium enhances the game’s rendering, allowing for higher FPS and smoother gameplay.
• NVIDIA GPU Requirement: This mod works only with NVIDIA graphics cards that support mesh shaders, specifically models from the GTX 1600 series and newer (including the 20xx series). Modrinth
• Compatibility: Nvidium requires the Sodium mod to function. It automatically disables itself if it detects incompatible hardware or if shaders like Iris are in use.

Gallery

This mod specifically needs an Nvidia GPU that can handle mesh shaders. This feature started with the Turing architecture, so any 16xx series or newer (including 20xx series) that supports mesh shaders will work.

Can I use this mod on a non-Nvidia system?
No, this mod won’t work on non-Nvidia systems, but the Nvidium will turn off by itself. Your gameplay will remain unaffected.

Needs sodium to operate. Turns off when the iris is using shaders.
