Nvidia is at CES 2023, and all eyes will be on the GPU maker at its keynote event (which is just about to start).
Last year wasn’t the best for Nvidia – while it launched some new GPUs, such as the RTX 3090 Ti, and next-gen RTX 4090 and RTX 4080, it also had some stumbles. The 3090 Ti was considered a misfire, while Nvidia’s initial plans to launch two RTX 4080 GPUs, one of which was revealed to be quite a bit less powerful, didn’t go down well.
Nvidia ended up ‘unlaunching’ the lower-powered RTX 4080, and many expect it to show up, possibly today, with a new name: the RTX 4070 Ti.
So, this is an important event for Nvidia for it to show it’s still got what it takes to impress gamers. Let’s see what it has planned…
Refresh
Then, there’s also gaming, with twice the power of PS5, but half the size (and eight times the price).
14-inch laptops will be able to handle creative projects.
Max-Q is getting a shoutout. Gaming laptops in 2023 will come with Lovelace GPUs, with DLSS 3 added to Max-Q to keep power low, for longer battery lives and quieter fans.
RTX 4000 series mobile GPUs announced!
We are now talking about laptops.
Faster than 3090 Ti apparently! That’s pretty crazy and is almost half the power.
Available January 5 for $799.
Oooh 4070 Ti is real!
RTX 3080 Membership is now dead – and now is called Ultimate, starting in Q1 2023 and will be $19.99 a month – the same as when it was the RTX 3080 tier. Nice! Also RTX 3080 members will get upgraded to Ultimate.
Now talking about GeForce Now, the game streaming service. I genuinely love GeForce Now, and the RTX 4080 Superpods will offer five times the power of the Xbox Series X, according to Nvidia! And with Nvidia Reflex, the latency should be half of what console gamers see.
Throne and Liberty was also shown. And now Atomic Heart. Seems like a very games-heavy showcase so far – something we’d normally see at something like E3 (RIP).
Atomic Heart does at least look cool, and offers some great graphics. Some of the other games were pretty underwhelming in the graphics department, which doesn’t really sell new GPUs.
Oh more games. Come on! Show us the hardware!
Some more games are shown including Warhaven, which again isn’t that exciting. Mix of Assassin’s Creed and Elden Ring this time.
Got some exclusive new footage of Witch Fire, an upcoming game that will support DLSS 3. Looks… eh ok. Like a mix of Bloodborne and Doom Eternal.
Now talking about DLSS 3. Fair play, I do think it’s good tech. Now 50 DLSS 3-compatible games either released or about to be released.
That’s a lot less than the 250 DLSS games available right now, but Nvidia assures us that DLSS 3 support is growing faster than any other Nvidia tech.
He’s talking about Ada Lovelace architecture now, which popped up last year with the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090. Jeff says that each GPU comes bundled with a super computer. These are good GPUs, but that might be pushing it a bit…
Jeff talks about 2022 being a difficult year – yep not wrong there. I think he means it was tough for us all, not just Nvidia, however.
Jeff Fisher is on now, and he’s kicking off with ‘gaming’! So that’s good – bring on the GPUs!
OK, it’s just about to start! You can watch along on YouTube.
