NVIDIA Updates its GeForce RTX Case Badge to Mention AI Acceleration Chops
NVIDIA updated the official case badge of GeForce RTX with the byline "powering advanced AI." This case badge is prominently displayed in the retail box art of graphics cards, and pre-built desktops and notebooks. Although OEMs tend to skip this badge on the chassis of their gaming desktops, their notebooks tend to proudly flash the case-badge near that of the processor. The byline is well-earned, as NVIDIA is a leading hardware brand in AI acceleration, and even its most affordable GeForce RTX models include tensor cores, which accelerate AI inferencing.

As I wrote months ago:
"Due to explosion in AI demand and revenue I believe we will see a release mostly focused on how these cards can be used for machine learning, home Neural acceleration etc., we will see focus on all the applications AI can and could some day perform, and so Nvidia will even rename the cards from gaming to something that should encompass gaming + neural acceleration, and "Gaming" sector won't be called gaming any more - and they will show even Gaming itself needs AI acceleration now, for all the smart antialiasing / resizing to accelerating NPCs, speech recognition and generation etc...
And they will provide proof - all the extra "Gaming" revenue that is pushing Gaming to record heights is coming from orders for AI related acceleration now.
So the tiers, pricing, everything is open to total change now that the market's changed."
As a sidenote I just took the Steam survey and the 4090 didn't even make the list.
Enjoy
At least when you toss a coin in a black well they grant you a wish, you can enter that in your prompt. While the hype lasts... and the cash keeps flowing because you print AI on something.
Just take my money already, I am willing to spend $1,000,000 for an RTX 0000 :roll:
But it will be OK, Nvidia will of course ensure us poor gamers that don't intend to make a living with their new smart AI home companion that we can continue to buy their old dumb non-AI cards. Which will also shoot up in price, because that's just the new reality.
