NeRF is short for a technology called Neural Radiance Fields. Nvidia AI uses this tech to reconstruct a 3D scene from a handful of 2D images in tens of milliseconds.

Described as a 4K-class chip, this GPU is claimed to match the GeForce RTX 3060 by some metrics.

"Making multiple technologies easier for developers to integrate, Streamline benefits gamers with more technologies in more games," reckons Nvidia.

The new AI upscaling tech from Intel gets fleshed out by Intel's devs and third party game devs. Some quality and performance indicators have been shared.

The PCX1 and PCX2 GPUs this code is relevant to were 3D only. Thus these cards needed to be installed alongside another graphics card, which would take care of 2D duties.

Despite the boasts, Nvidia's shares have has a lack luster week. Perhaps investors predict and fear another crypto boom to bust cycle will cause a GPU glut in 2022.

The HWiNFO release notes mention upcoming Ada GeForce RTX 40-destined GPUs, and also reference Hopper GPUs, and perhaps even Nvidia Blackwell GPUs.

Nvidia appears to have a new GA102F chip in the pipeline. Is it a re-spin for higher yields and lower power, something for datacenters, or perhaps a special crypto-focused (or anti-crypto) design?

Mykhailo Fedorov's previous requests seem to have spurred tech giants such as Intel, Microsoft, and Apple to act with greater haste.
