NVIDIA Showcases New AI Capabilities With ACE, RTX Games and More at Gamescom 2024

20/08/2024

At Gamescom, the world's biggest gaming expo, NVIDIA has once again pushed the boundaries of gaming technology to ensure that gamers have incredibly immersive experiences and can enjoy enhanced performance and visual fidelity.

The company's announcements today include its first digital human technologies on-device small language model showcased in the first game tech demo, Mecha BREAK, a milestone celebration of 600 RTX games and applications with 20 new RTX games announced, and new games on GeForce NOW.

Alongside these, NVIDIA announced a collaboration with MediaTek that brings G-SYNC display technologies to more gamers.

Gamescom, held every year in Cologne, Germany, is where innovators from across the gaming community showcase their latest creations. In 2018, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang introduced NVIDIA RTX at the event, bringing real-time ray tracing and AI to gaming and setting a new standard for graphics performance.

NVIDIA ACE: Advancing AI-Powered Game Characters Leading NVIDIA's announcements at Gamescom was NVIDIA ACE, a revolutionary suite of technologies for bringing digital humans to life with generative AI.

The first game to showcase ACE and digital human technologies is Amazing Seasun Games' Mecha BREAK, a fast-based mech combat game that demonstrates the potential of AI-powered game characters.

The ACE suite also expanded with NVIDIA's first digital human technologies on-device small language model (SLM), NVIDIA Nemotron-4 4B Instruct, improving conversation for game characters. This new on-device model provides better role-play, retrieval-augmented generation and function-calling capabilities, allowing game characters to more intuitively comprehend player instructions, respond to gamers and perform more accurate and relevant actions.

Perfect World Games is advancing its ACE and digital human tech demo, Legends, with new AI-powered vision capabilities, unlocking a new level of immersion and accessibility for PC games.

Celebrating 600 RTX Games and Apps With 20 New RTX Titles NVIDIA RTX continues to revolutionize the ways people play and create with ray tracing, DLSS and AI-powered technologies. Today marks another RTX milestone: 600 RTX-enhanced games and applications are now available.

This week, NVIDIA announced 20 new RTX and DLSS titles to join this impressive roster, including high-profile games such as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Dune: Awakening and Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Game Science's much-anticipated Black Myth: Wukong also launches today, featuring full ray tracing and DLSS 3, delivering the ultimate RTX experience for GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers.

Half-Life 2: An RTX Remix Project Unveils Remastered Nova Prospekt Half-Life 2 RTX: An RTX Remix Project from Orbifold Studios is a community remaster of Valve's classic game. Now boasting over 100 contributing artists, Orbifold Studios unveiled a remaster of one of Half-Life 2's most iconic levels, Nova Prospekt.

Using NVIDIA RTX Remix, Orbifold Studios has remastered Nova Prospekt with full ray tracing, DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction and Reflex. The Nova Prospekt trailer also reveals remasters of Gordon's revolver, shotgun and Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle, remasters of the Combine soldiers and Antlions, and the addition of new geometry and detail that uses the capabilities of modern PCs to increase realism.

NVIDIA and MediaTek Bring G-SYNC Display Technologies to More Gamers NVIDIA and MediaTek are collaborating to make the industry's best gaming display technologies more accessible.

The companies' collaboration integrates the full suite of NVIDIA G-SYNC technologies to the world's most popular scalers, allowing for the creation of feature-rich G-SYNC monitors at a more affordable price.

A highlight of this collaboration is the introduction of G-SYNC Pulsar, a new technology that offers 4x the effective motion clarity alongside a smooth and tear-free variable refresh rate (VRR) experience. G-SYNC Pulsar will debut on newly announced monitors, including the ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQNR, Acer Predator XB273U F5 and AOC AGON PRO AG276QSG2.
