Highlights

Major performance improvement on modern Nvidia cards

After some careful planning and community feedback, Nvidium is now included in Adrenaline by default. Nvidium is a replacement rendering backend for Sodium that uses Nvidia-only OpenGL extensions to increase FPS by a significant amount. The mod is considered stable enough for general usage (as said by Cortex, the maintainer, and also various community members), so I've added it to the modpack.

Some individuals have stated having between a 30%-250% increase in FPS, which is a very major amount. It's worth noting that Nvidium only really works well at high render distances. It likely won't improve too much at a low render distance.

Nvidium will only function on Nvidia cards from the Turing microarchitecture and after, so this means any card in the 16xx series or later. On incompatible cards, such as old Nvidia cards and all AMD/Intel cards, the mod will automatically disable itself, so it won't interrupt your gameplay or anything. Nvidium will also automatically disable itself when Iris is actively using shaders.

If you run into any issues with the mod, report them on Nvidium's issue tracker. Enjoy!
