NVIDIA Reveals Gaming, Creating, Generative AI, Robotics Innovations at CES

The AI revolution returned to where it started this week, putting powerful new tools into the hands of gamers and content creators.

Generative AI models that will bring lifelike characters to games and applications and new GPUs for gamers and creators were among the highlights of a news-packed address Monday ahead of this week's CES trade show in Las Vegas.

Today, NVIDIA is at the center of the latest technology transformation: generative AI, said Jeff Fisher, senior vice president for GeForce at NVIDIA, who was joined by leaders across the company to introduce products and partnerships across gaming, content creation, and robotics.

A Launching Pad for Generative AI As AI shifts into the mainstream, Fisher said NVIDIA's RTX GPUs, with more than 100 million units shipped, are pivotal in the burgeoning field of generative AI, exemplified by innovations like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion.

In October, NVIDIA released the TensorRT-LLM library for Windows, accelerating large language models, or LLMs, like Llama 2 and Mistral up to 5x on RTX PCs.

And with our new Chat with RTX playground, releasing later this month, enthusiasts can connect an RTX-accelerated LLM to their own data, from locally stored documents to YouTube videos, using retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG, a technique for enhancing the accuracy and reliability of generative AI models.

Fisher also introduced TensorRT acceleration for Stable Diffusion XL and SDXL Turbo in the popular Automatic1111 text-to-image app, providing up to a 60% boost in performance.

NVIDIA Avatar Cloud Engine Microservices Debut With Generative AI Models for Digital Avatars NVIDIA ACE is a technology platform that brings digital avatars to life with generative AI. ACE AI models are designed to run in the cloud or locally on the PC.

In an ACE demo featuring Convai's new technologies, NVIDIA's Senior Product Manager Seth Schneider showed how it works.

First, a player's voice input is passed to NVIDIA's automatic speech recognition model, which translates speech to text. Then, the text is put into an LLM to generate the character's response.

After that, the text response is vocalized using a text-to-speech model, which is passed to an animation model to create a realistic lip sync. Finally, the dynamic character is rendered into the game scene.

At CES, NVIDIA is announcing ACE Production Microservices for NVIDIA Audio2Face and NVIDIA Riva Automatic Speech Recognition. Available now, each model can be incorporated by developers individually into their pipelines.

NVIDIA is also announcing game and interactive avatar developers are pioneering ways ACE and generative AI technologies can be used to transform interactions between players and non-playable characters in games and applications. Developers embracing ACE include Convai, Charisma.AI, Inworld, miHoYo, NetEase Games, Ourpalm, Tencent, Ubisoft and UneeQ.

Getty Images Releases Generative AI by iStock and AI Image Generation Tools Powered by NVIDIA Picasso Generative AI empowers designers and marketers to create concept imagery, social media content and more. Today, iStock by Getty Images is releasing a genAI service built on NVIDIA Picasso, an AI foundry for visual design, Fisher announced.

The iStock service allows anyone to create 4K imagery from text using an AI model trained on Getty Images' extensive catalog of licensed, commercially safe creative content. New editing application programming interfaces that give customers powerful control over their generated images are also coming soon.

The generative AI service is available today at istock.com, with advanced editing features releasing via API.

NVIDIA Introduces GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series Fisher announced a new series of GeForce RTX 40 SUPER GPUs with more gaming and generative AI performance.

Fisher said that the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER can power fully ray-traced games at 4K. It's 1.4x faster than the RTX 3080 Ti without frame gen in the most graphically intensive games. With 836 AI TOPS, NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation delivers an extra performance boost, making the RTX 4080 SUPER twice as fast as an RTX 3080 Ti.

Creators can generate video with Stable Video Diffusion 1.5x faster and images with Stable Diffusion XL 1.7x faster. The RTX 4080 SUPER features more cores and faster memory, giving it a performance edge at a great new price of $999. It will be available starting Jan. 31.

Next up is the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. NVIDIA has added more cores and increased the frame buffer to 16GB and the memory bus to 256 bits. It's 1.6x faster than a 3070 Ti and 2.5x faster with DLSS 3, Fisher said. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER will be available starting Jan. 24 for $799.

Fisher also introduced the RTX 4070 SUPER. NVIDIA has added 20% more cores, making it faster than the RTX 3090 while using a fraction of the power. And with DLSS 3, it's 1.5x faster in the most demanding games. It will be available for $599 starting Jan. 17.

NVIDIA RTX Remix Open Beta Launches This Month There are over 10 billion game mods downloaded each year. With RTX Remix, modders can remaster classic games with full ray tracing, DLSS, NVIDIA Reflex and generative AI texture tools that transform low-resolution textures into 4K, physically accurate materials. The RTX Remix app will be released in open beta on Jan. 22.

RTX Remix has already delivered stunning remasters in NVIDIA's Portal with RTX and the modder-made Portal: Prelude RTX. Now, Orbifold Studios is using RTX Remix to develop Half-Life 2 RTX: An RTX Remix Project, a community remaster of one of the highest-rated games of all time.

Check out this new Half-Life 2 RTX gameplay trailer:
