In a packed Las Vegas arena, Nvidia founder Jensen Huang stood on stage and marveled over the crisp real-time computer graphics displayed on the screen behind him. He watched as a dark-haired woman walked through ornate gilded double doors and took in the rays of light that poured in through stained glass windows.
"The Amount of Geometry That You Saw Was Absolutely Insane"
Huang told an audience of thousands at CES 2025 Monday night, "The amount of geometry that you saw was absolutely insane. It would have been impossible without artificial intelligence." The chipmaker and AI darling unveiled its GeForce RTX 50 Series desktop and laptop GPUs – its most advanced consumer graphics processor units for gamers, creators, and developers. The tech is designed for use on both desktop and laptop computers.
Nvidia Stock Surges Ahead of CES 2025
Ahead of Huang’s speech, Nvidia stock climbed 3.4% to top its record set in November. Nvidia and other AI stocks keep climbing despite concerns over Nvidia’s share price being bloated and the company being overvalued.
Breakthroughs in AI-Driven Rendering
Huang said the GPUs, which use the company’s next-generation artificial intelligence chip Blackwell, can deliver breakthroughs in AI-driven rendering. "Blackwell, the engine of AI, has arrived for PC gamers, developers, and creatives," Huang said, adding that Blackwell "is the most significant computer graphics innovation since we introduced programmable shading 25 years ago."
What is Blackwell Technology?
Blackwell technology is now in full production, he said. Building on the tech Nvidia released 25 years ago, the company announced that it would also introduce ‘RTX Neural Shaders,’ which use AI to help render game characters in deep detail – a task that’s notoriously tricky because people can easily spot a small error on digital humans.
Introducing RTX Neural Shaders
Huang said Nvidia is also introducing a new suite of technologies that enable ‘autonomous characters’ to perceive, plan, and act like human players. Those characters can help players plan strategies or adapt tactics to challenge players and create more dynamic battles.
The Future of AI-Powered Entertainment
In addition to Nvidia, tech giants such as AMD, Google, and Samsung are at CES 2025 to unveil artificial intelligence tools aimed at helping both content creators and consumers alike in their quest for entertainment. The unveiling of these cutting-edge technologies marks a significant milestone in the evolution of computer graphics and AI.
What Does This Mean for Gamers and Creators?
The GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, combined with Blackwell technology and RTX Neural Shaders, will revolutionize the way gamers and creators experience computer graphics. With these advancements, gamers can expect to see more realistic and immersive game environments, while creators can tap into the full potential of AI-driven rendering.
The Impact on the Gaming Industry
The introduction of autonomous characters that can perceive, plan, and act like human players will take the gaming industry to new heights. Players will be able to engage in more dynamic battles and interact with game worlds in a more realistic way. The impact of these advancements will be felt across the industry, from console manufacturers to PC hardware companies.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Nvidia’s unveiling of the GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs and Blackwell technology marks a significant milestone in the evolution of computer graphics and AI. As we move forward into a future where AI is increasingly integrated into our daily lives, it will be exciting to see how these advancements shape the gaming industry and beyond.
Future Developments
As Nvidia continues to push the boundaries of what is possible with AI-driven rendering, we can expect to see even more innovative technologies emerge in the coming years. With the introduction of autonomous characters and RTX Neural Shaders, gamers and creators will be able to tap into new levels of creativity and immersion.
The Road Ahead
As the gaming industry continues to evolve, it will be exciting to see how Nvidia’s latest innovations shape the future of computer graphics and AI. With a focus on delivering breakthroughs in AI-driven rendering, Nvidia is poised to revolutionize the way we experience entertainment.
