Nvidium is a replacement rendering backend for sodium that uses nvidia only opengl extensions to increase fps by a significant amount.
This mod explicitly requires an nvidia gpu that supports mesh shaders.
This feature was introduced in turing architecture, anything that is a 16xx series or newer (20xx series also works) that supports mesh shaders.
This mod uses uncommon technology (mesh shaders). This may result in minecraft terminating unexpectedly.
With mesh shaders, a near fully gpu driven rendering pipeline is used, enabling very fast and performant geometry culling of terrain meaning your gpu can work much more efficiently.
