The NVIDIA GeForce Project Beyond and GTC Fall 2022 Keynote Live Blog (Starts at 8am PT/15:00 UTC)
NVIDIA’s GTC 2022 Fall keynote kicked off a little late this morning, and it should be a very interesting event.
In addition to NVIDIA’s usual line of business announcements, the first part of this GTC keynote will focus on NVIDIA’s GeForce products, a very rare appearance at NVIDIA’s increasingly enterprise-focused event. . NVIDIA has been hinting at his GeForce portion of the event as ‘Project Beyond’ for about a month now, but in the traditional undercover NVIDIA way of his, we officially know ahead of the show. That’s all there is to it.
Given the timing of this event, the announcement of NVIDIA’s next-generation consumer video cards (GeForce RTX 40 series?) and related GPUs are pretty safe bets. The GeForce RTX 30 series premiered just over two years before him, which is in line with NVIDIA’s usual cadence of his biennial consumer offerings.
There are (hopefully) significant performance improvements on the card, but we’ll see what NVIDIA does in light of the current crypto hangover that reached a fever pitch last week with the completion of the long-awaited Ethereum merge. would be interesting – eliminates the need for video cards to mine popular cryptocoins. The video card market is almost certain to become saturated in the coming months, especially as the performance levels covered by the current RTX 30 series cards. This means that the cards that are most likely to succeed in the current situation are faster cards than the RTX 3090 and its ilk.
At the same time, NVIDIA has been relatively stagnant in terms of graphics capabilities since the release of the Turing architecture (RTX 20 series) in 2018 when NVIDIA first added support for DirectX 12 Ultimate (FL 12_2). As a result, more feature-focused releases aren’t uncommon for NVIDIA, but at the same time, we don’t immediately know about new features in development for DirectX.
Following CEO Jensen Huang’s GeForce presentation, we expect the GTC keynote to be incorporated into more traditional enterprise presentations. NVIDIA’s H100 Hopper accelerator is set to ship soon, so it’s sure to get a lot of attention. Similarly, NVIDIA has increasingly focused on robotics, medical, automotive, and of course their omniverse simulation environments. So there’s no shortage of other things to talk about – even though we’re here for gaming cards first and foremost.
NVIDIA’s keynote will begin at 8:00 AM Pacific Time (15:00 UTC). Join us for live blog coverage on the latest green machine announcements.
