Nvidia’s 6 Biggest Announcements At CES 2022

The chipmaker launched new high-end and entry-level GPUs for desktop PCs and laptops while announcing new efforts to expand its hardware ecosystem at its CES 2022 press conference.

Nvidia is expanding its high-end Ampere GPU options for gaming laptops with the launch of the new GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti.

The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company said the new products, which will be available in laptops starting on Feb. 1, are bringing the “flagship” 80 Ti class of GPUs to laptops for the first time after previously only being able for desktop PCs.

The RTX 3080 Ti features 16GB of the “fastest GDDR6 memory ever shipped in a laptop,” according to Nvidia, and it “delivers higher performance” than Nvidia’s Turing-based Titan RTX for desktop. Laptops equipped with the RTX 3080 Ti will start at $2,499.

Nvidia said the RTX 3070 Ti is 70 percent faster than laptops running the previous-generation RTX 2070 laptops and can hit 100 frames per second at 1440p resolution. RTX 3070 Ti laptops will start at $1,499.

Nvidia is once again introducing a “monster” of GPU with the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti.

The chipmaker revealed the GPU behemoth at CES and said it will contain 24GB of GDDR6X that runs at 21 gigabits per second, which it said is “the fastest memory ever.” The GPU will be capable of 40 teraflops for shaders, 78 teraflops for ray tracing and 320 teraflops for AI.

Nvidia said it will provide more details later this month.

Nvidia wants to get more gamers to upgrade their old graphics cards with the launch of the new GeForce RTX 3050, a new entry-level GPU for desktop PCs.

The RTX 3050 will be available on Jan. 27 starting at $249 from Nvidia’s board partners, and it will be the first 50 class GPU to enable ray tracing in games at more than 60 frames per second.

The GPU comes with 8GB of GDDR6 memory, second-generation RT cores and third-generation Tensor cores, the latter of which power Nvidia’s AI-based DLSS upscaling technology.

Nvidia said more than 160 laptop designs coming out this year will feature the company’s GPUs, “creating the thinnest, lightest and most powerful laptops ever.”

These designs include a new batch of Nvidia Studio laptops, which are bundled with software and applications for content creators, including the Nvidia Canvas painting app.

The chipmaker said the Nvidia Studio laptops are equipped with the new GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, which provide seven times faster performance on average for 3D rendering compared to Apple’s latest MacBook Pro 16.

The Nvidia Studio laptops include new designs from ASUS, MSI and Razer, and they support over 200 creative applications, according to the company
