On Thursday, Nvidia, the leader in computer graphics and AI accelerators, unveiled a range of innovative technologies at its GeForce RTX AI PC tour in Bengaluru, set to transform video gaming and game development. The event highlighted RTX-powered solutions such as Nvidia Ace and Digital Humans, aiming to enhance gaming experiences and personalization through widely adopted Nvidia graphics cards.
Impressive AI Performance
Nvidia demonstrated that PCs equipped with GeForce RTX graphics cards can achieve AI performance levels ranging from 200 to 1,300 trillion operations per second (TOPs). This capability significantly outpaces that of laptops with dedicated NPUs, which typically reach a maximum of 45 TOPs.
Extensive User Base and Compatibility
The company revealed that over 100 million users have RTX graphics installed on their PCs, enabling access to various AI solutions. Nvidia’s graphics cards boast compatibility with over 500 AI software applications and solutions, fostering a robust ecosystem for developers and gamers alike.
RTX AI Games and Applications
Currently, more than 370 RTX AI games are available, featuring advanced capabilities such as:
- DLSS 3: AI-backed upscaling technology.
- RTX Remix: An AI tool for video game modding.
- LLM Gaming Advisors: Enhancing gameplay through large language models.
Additionally, over 125 RTX-powered applications leverage AI for tasks like photo and video editing, and image generation. Nvidia RTX GPUs also support prominent open-source large language models (LLMs) such as Google Gemini, Llama 2, Mistral, and OpenAI Whisper.
Leading AI Performance on Laptops
Nvidia has positioned itself as the fastest AI accelerator for laptops, with the RTX 4090 GPU offering double the AI performance compared to the Apple MacBook Pro with the M3 Max chip. This performance enables features like faster on-device chat experiences powered by LLMs and enhanced video conferencing capabilities via Nvidia Broadcast.
Innovative Demos
During the event, Nvidia showcased several AI-powered demonstrations, including:
- Nvidia Ace: In the game Mecha BREAK, this technology enhances in-game character interactions through a small language model, improving conversational abilities.
- Legends: Nvidia Ace equips characters with AI-powered vision capabilities to identify people and objects.
Nvidia is branding this digital human technology as a means to bring characters to life, utilizing the NVIDIA NeMotron-4 (NIMs), a small language model with 4 billion parameters.
Tools for Game Developers
For video game studios, Nvidia offers solutions like NVIDIA Omniverse Audio2Face, which allows developers to generate facial animations and lip-sync from audio sources, streamlining the character development process.
As Nvidia continues to innovate, its commitment to enhancing both gaming experiences and development tools underscores its pivotal role in the future of gaming technology.
