GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition Review: Exploring RTX Blackwell
GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition Review: Exploring RTX Blackwell

Just as it leads in data center AI accelerators, NVIDIA’s lead in the PC graphics space has been dominant for years and generations of products. When the company announced its forthcoming GeForce RTX 50 series of graphic cards based on its Blackwell GPU architecture back at CES in Las Vegas this year, there was almost no question as to whether NVIDIA would have the most powerful product on the market, competitively, when cards ship to gamers later this month. However, details and the nuanced picture of performance with the new GeForce RTX 5090, which is first out of the gate, had to wait until today’s embargo lift.

Cosmos Marks Another Masterful Stroke For NVIDIA In AI Robotics
Cosmos Marks Another Masterful Stroke For NVIDIA In AI Robotics

At what was likely the most widely attended keynote in CES history, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took to the stage at the jam-packed Michelob Ultra arena, with a dizzying array of announcements of new technologies, from consumer devices like the new GeForce RTX 50 Series of gaming graphics cards, to a new secure autonomous vehicle platform called Thor that’s based on the company’s latest Blackwell GPU technology, and more – a lot more. However, a new Nvidia generative AI technology dubbed Cosmos, that some folks might have glossed over due to its complexity was, in my opinion, another star of the show. I’d even dare say, if Cosmos plays out as the company is intending, it could be a launch-pad for rocketing Nvidia’s robotics and autonomous vehicle businesses…

NVIDIA's Campaign To Empower STEM Students Brings More Capable Mobile Solutions To Accelerate Learning

There is a common misconception that NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX GPUs are meant solely for gaming and some content creation workloads, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. While NVIDIA does offer an array of powerful, purpose-built enterprise products for specialized engineering, data science, economic, and AI / ML applications, GeForce RTX GPUs can accelerate many of these workloads as well – all GPUs are massively-parallel processors after all.

Real-Time Ray Tracing In Games Doesn’t Necessarily Require Pricey Hardware
Real-Time Ray Tracing In Games Doesn’t Necessarily Require Pricey Hardware

A prevailing — but incorrect — notion is that you need at least a $650 GeForce RTX 2080 card to get good performance with ray tracing enabled. That’s only true perhaps, if you’re the type that needs to game at ultra-high resolutions with absolute max image quality settings. However, at a FHD 1080p resolution, which is what the vast majority of mainstream gamers use, you may be surprised to learn that the lowest cost GeForce RTX card – currently the GeForce RTX 2060 — can get the job done quite well…

MLPerf Inference Benchmarks Show NVIDIA Strength, Company Expands Jetson AI Edge Offerings
MLPerf Inference Benchmarks Show NVIDIA Strength, Company Expands Jetson AI Edge Offerings

A few months back, I wrote about the MLPerf consortium and the release of its Inference v0.5 benchmark. MLPerf had previously disclosed some performance results from its Training v0.6 benchmark, but training is only part of the machine learning equation. It is when the training process is complete and weightings have been assigned to the dataset that a neural network can intelligently infer things from that data — this process is what is referred to as inference.
