The NVIDIA GeForce Undertaking Past and GTC Fall 2022 Keynote Reside Weblog (Begins at 8am PT/15:00 UTC)


Kicking off a bit later this morning might be NVIDIA’s GTC 2022 fall keynote, which ought to show to be a really attention-grabbing occasion.

In addition to NVIDIA’s normal run-through of enterprise bulletins, the primary a part of this GTC’s keynote might be targeted on NVIDIA’s GeForce merchandise, making for a really uncommon look at NVIDIA’s more and more enterprise-focused occasion. NVIDIA has been teasing the GeForce portion of the occasion as “Undertaking Past” for concerning the previous month, and in conventional secretive NVIDIA vogue, that’s all we formally know forward of the present.

Given the timing of this occasion, the announcement of NVIDIA’s next-generation of shopper video playing cards (GeForce RTX 40 sequence?) and related GPUs is a really secure guess. The GeForce RTX 30 sequence premiered simply over two years in the past, which is correct consistent with NVIDIA’s normal bi-yearly shopper product cadence.

Important efficiency enhancements are (hopefully) within the playing cards, however will probably be attention-grabbing to see what NVIDIA does in gentle of the present cypto hangover, which hit a fevered pitch final week with the long-awaited completion of the Ethereum Merge – eliminating the necessity for video playing cards to mine the favored cryptocoin. The marketplace for video playing cards is sort of sure to be saturated for the subsequent a number of months, particularly because the efficiency ranges lined by the present RTX 30 sequence playing cards. Which suggests it’s playing cards that will be quicker than the RTX 3090 and its ilk which might be the most definitely to achieve the present local weather.

On the similar time, from a graphics characteristic standpoint NVIDIA has been comparatively stagnant because the launch of the Turing structure (RTX 20 sequence) in 2018, when NVIDIA first added DirectX 12 Final (FL 12_2) help. Because of this, a extra feature-focused launch wouldn’t be uncommon for NVIDIA, however on the similar time we’re not instantly conscious of any new options underneath growth for DirectX.

Following CEO Jensen Huang’s GeForce presentation, we’re anticipating the GTC keynote to then dovetail right into a extra conventional enterprise presentation. NVIDIA’s H100 Hopper accelerator will little question be a giant focus, because it’s slated to ship quickly. As effectively, NVIDIA has been ever-increasingly targeted on robotics, medical, automotive, and naturally their omniverse simulation setting. So there must be no scarcity of different issues to speak about – even when we’re right here initially for the gaming playing cards.

NVIDIA’s keynote begins at 8am Pacific (15:00 UTC), so please be part of us for our stay weblog protection of the inexperienced machine’s newest bulletins.
