Nvidia Nvidia’s latest driver update does more than just introduce support for the new RTX 4070 Ti Super — it also enables AI video upscaling through a new feature. Dubbed RTX Video HDR, this feature relies on AI to turn SDR videos into HDR. Enabling it is easy, but there are a couple of caveats. Nvidia describes it as a new technology, powered by AI and RTX tensor cores, that dynamically converts SDR video to HDR10 quality. This improves visibility and adds more detail, sharpness, and vibrance. Earlier in 2023,…

Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super MSRP $800.00 “The RTX 4070 Ti Super still lands in an awkward spot in Nvidia's lineup.” Pros DLSS 3.5 Solid improvement over RTX 4070 Ti Excellent ray tracing performance Fantastic power effciency Cons Still too expensive Occasionally…

The cost of making further progress in artificial intelligence is becoming as startling as a hallucination by ChatGPT. Demand for the graphics chips known as GPUs needed for large-scale AI training has driven prices of the crucial components through the roof. OpenAI has said that training the algorithm that now powers ChatGPT cost the firm over $100 million. The race to compete in AI also means that data centers are now consuming worrying amounts of energy.The AI gold rush has a few startups hatching bold plans to create…

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends Well done, AMD. Today is a big day for Nvidia — after all, today is when the RTX 4070 Super hits the shelves. So what does AMD do? It serves up a huge price cut on one of its top graphics cards in this generation to strike back at Nvidia and counter its big release. Coincidence? No way. But will this price tag be low enough when Nvidia launches the RTX 4070 Ti Super? AMD’s RX 7900 XT is the GPU that’s now a lot cheaper, with an official price of $750, but some models are as cheap as $710.…

My sister introduced me to Homestar Runner via Strong Bad Email #48 “Ghosts.” That was back in 2002, and I remember spending the rest of the evening watching everything else on the site. Then, I watched basically everything that The Brothers Chaps, Mike and Matt Chapman, put on the site from then on. Homestarrunner.com became as much of a friend to me as any of the actual humans who surrounded me during my high school days. But, exactly like my high school friends, we went on to do our own thing. Homestar Runner…

When we think of the best graphics cards in this day and age, GPUs like the RTX 4090 or the RX 7900 XTX come to mind. However, for these beastly cards to be able to run, some much older GPUs had to crawl, and then walk, to get us to where we are today. Looking back, the history of graphics cards shows us a few landmark GPUs that redefined graphics technology. Let’s take a trip back to 1996 and subsequent years to explore the graphics cards that made a difference, had an impact, and were smash hits with enthusiasts…

Nvidia has announced the updated GeForce RTX 40 Super series of graphics cards, which will be replacing most of their existing non-Super counterparts in the company's lineup.
