NVIDIA GeForce G-Assist: the company's 2017 April Fool's joke could be a real technology

NVIDIA GeForce G-Assist: the company's 2017 April Fool's joke could be a real technology
0 0 4 0

Today, on May 30, NVIDIA posted a mysterious tweet, recalling an old joke. The phrase, which can be translated as "The future is never far away..." seems to announce some kind of "future" technology. The hint is more specifically indicated in the video from seven years ago in the post.

In 2017, there was no ray tracing or resolution scaling technology on the graphics card market, and graphic processors were not used for generative AI. NVIDIA was focused on promoting GeForce GTX video cards, as the RTX series did not exist yet.

As an April Fool's joke, NVIDIA announced a USB device in the shape of a GTX 1080, which supposedly could activate powerful deep learning algorithms and add artificial intelligence to games. In 2017, these claims seemed absurd, but by 2024, games will be on the verge of an AI revolution. Currently, scaling technologies like DLSS already use artificial intelligence algorithms, and NVIDIA has introduced NPC based on large language models for a more interactive gaming experience.

G-Assist was a joke supposedly designed to assist gamers. It featured a Ghost Play function that played the game for users when they were absent. It was claimed that another function, BossBoost, helped gamers defeat tough bosses like those in Dark Souls. Finally, NV Nurture was a fictional technology that reminded players to recharge by connecting to the refrigerator. It is difficult to say which specific function NVIDIA wants to implement, but more information is likely to be revealed at Computex 2024.
