Little brother to 3060 Ti Nvidia cites gamers playing Watch Dogs 2 with high settings realizing 60 fps with a GeForce GTX 1060, but with Watch Dogs: Legion (released last October), they only get 24 fps. And with ray tracing turned on, the game becomes unplayable on the GTX 1060. The GTX 1060 also lacks the latest enhancements and features of newer GPUs.Nvidia’s GeForce … [Read more...] about Nvidia’s RTX 3060

A new GPU architecture proposed
If SIMD is good, MIMD will be great. The traditional 3D graphics pipeline is now 60 years old—is it time to reimagine how 3D graphics should be processed and displayed? In pursuit of greater display acuity, pixel densities are increasing in spatial resolution and color depth. In pursuit of greater realism, triangles, the basis for 3D models, are increasing in density and … [Read more...] about A new GPU architecture proposed

Omniverse—work anywhere, in any program, with your colleagues
Expanding Pixar's USD across industries. It hasn’t been too many years since the siloed effects of specialists in the graphics production pipeline drove up a studio or company’s costs, and delayed projects because they used incompatible programs. At GDC 2020, Nvidia introduced Omniverse, its open collaboration platform to simplify workflows for realtime graphics. Nvidia … [Read more...] about Omniverse—work anywhere, in any program, with your colleagues

Nvidia recommends GPUs for recommendation systems
Well yes, of course they do but the company says they have Merlin on their side. Recommendation systems can look at which items a person examines or buys, and then make a suggestion as to something similar they might like. For example, if someone ordered bread on-line, the system might suggest also getting some butter. However, such systems can easily accumulate hordes … [Read more...] about Nvidia recommends GPUs for recommendation systems
