At the beginning of COMPUTEX 2024, the graphics chip giantNvidiaNvidia announced that its RTX series graphics cards will strongly support Microsoft's new Copilot+ plan, which aims to bring a series of powerful localization features to Windows 11 systems.
The first batch of compatible devices include five laptops from ASUS and one model from MSI. Since Copilot+ has not yet been officially released, these laptops will be pre-installed with the regular version of Windows 11, but NVIDIA promises that once Copilot+ is launched, these devices will be able to receive all updates for free.
NVIDIA announces the introduction of Copilot + to RTX series devices, empowering gaming laptops with AI assistants
Previously, the Copilot+ feature was limited to Qualcomm Snapdragon hardware. The introduction of NVIDIA RTX series hardware makes people look forward to how its powerful performance will affect this field. Thanks to the powerful mobile GPU, the RTX series can provide up to 1000 TOPS of AI computing power, far exceeding the 45 TOPS provided by the dedicated NPU used in the Snapdragon X series Elite version.
It is worth noting that NVIDIA has only announced that the RTX 40 series mobile graphics cards will support the Copilot + function, and has not mentioned desktop graphics cards.
In addition, NVIDIA also announced that it will launch the "G-Assist" feature. This feature was first proposed on April Fool's Day in 2017. At that time, it was set as an AI game assistant that could help players pass the game, but the AI technology at that time was not enough to realize this function. Now, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, NVIDIA can finally officially release G-Assist.
The G-Assist project can receive player instructions through voice or text input, and analyze and process them through artificial intelligence visual models in combination with information in the game screen. These models can enhance the situational awareness and application-specific understanding capabilities of large language models (LLMs), and combine with game knowledge databases to generate targeted text or voice responses. At the press conference, NVIDIA showed an example of a player asking "What is Rex" through G-Assist. If this feature works smoothly, players will be able to learn in the game in this way without consulting a strategy guide.
After the demonstration, NVIDIA emphasized that Project G-Assist is currently only a demonstration project and has no plans to launch it to consumers.
More practical is the RTX AI Toolkit. The toolkit includes a series of SDKs and utilities that make it easy for developers to create, customize, and optimize AI models for NVIDIA hardware. NVIDIA will open access to the toolkit later in June, which includes a series of LLMs (large language models) optimized for RTX devices.
In addition, NVIDIA has also open-sourced the RTX Remix toolkit for developers to use AI to generate high-resolution textures for old games. RTX video encoding technology has also received an SDK update and will soon be available in VLC media player.
