Fudzilla : According to rumours that we are hearing from our sources close to company, it appears that the upcoming Nvidia GTX 680 graphics based on the GK104 Kepler GPU will be priced at around US $550, or simply at the same price as the AMD Radeon HD 7970. We are also hearing rumours that Nvidia made quite bold claim with better performance per Watt for its GTX 680.
Nvidia presented Covert Protocol, a tech demo aiming to showcase the "power" of the Nvidia Ace technology applied to video game characters.
I don’t know why people keep thinking of it as AI vs no AI.
A much more likely scenario is the use of AI alongside human work.
Eg. AI voices used during side quests or banter to boost the lines of dialog.
AI generating additional pre determined branches in dialog tree options for more freedom in conversations with NPCs
The biggest thing to talk about here is that every interaction requires communication to inworld servers so there's three big impacts here
1) games are always online no question about it
2) delays in processing on inworld servers, outages or unexpected load as a result of some astronomically popular game will cause real time game delays ever wait for a chat got response this will be similar as the context must be pulled via the llm.
Now as for the other impact the artistic one no I don't think writers can be replaced I've mentioned before often AI generated writing is word soup I still standby that it's also evident in the video to.
AI can not convery accurately human emotions and I don't think ever will.
I know publishers are looking to cut down on development costs but what happens when inworld decide to charge per interaction or update their pricing a year after your game goes live you have no choice but pay it or shutter it.
Ive felt for a while that we are heading towards this place of games being disposable entertainment and now it's feeling more and more accurate
NVIDIA has released the RTX HDR AI-powered Freestyle filter to enable great HDR in SDR-only PC games. They also added RTX Dynamic Vibrance.
I had a little drag and drop mod that did this, it's nice to see that I can do it through the filters now. It really makes a difference on games like Control that has some really washed out blacks making the game lose depth and look flat. Borderlands 2 looks great with it on, makes the colours pop and the 'splosion's are epic.
This is some exciting news. NVIDIA today announced the GeForce RTX™ 40 SUPER Series family of GPUs at CES.
The 680 should end up being the fastest single gpu on the market
Im happy having the 2nd fastest 7970 all day long.
Love to be able to justify a new Kepler card but with 570GTX in SLI there really isn't any software to make use of that extra power.
Should make for a nice (slightly cheaper) upgrade in 12-18 months though.
For me, Nvidia all day, purely because of the support/drivers.
Well it seems they're pulling a bit of a fast one. This GPU was internally referred to as the 670 Ti up until it became apparent that AMD's offerings were not going to be competitive with their enthusiast level chip (GK110/114) and that TSMC would have manufacturing woes. So they've decided to re-brand this performance level chip as their enthusiast entry, calling it the GTX 680, and selling it for much more than originally intended.
It will be about 20% faster than the 7970, IMO, but sell for the same price, which means AMD will lower the price of their flagship in order to stay competitive. But overall, it just means Nvidia are taking this opportunity to bleed the e-peen crowd while holding back their true flagship until the fall. Crafty, greens.
The speed difference between these two GPU's will barely be noticeable...just like it has been most of the times between AMD/ATI and Nvidia when it comes to their high end offerings.
The real deal is the mid range chips.
