NVIDIA has introduced a new set of AI—based tools – NVIDIA Avatar Cloud Engine for Games. It will help developers create more lively non-player characters.

On April 12, NVIDIA released RTX Remix, a modding platform that allows you to create HD remasters of games. The company immediately shared the source code on GitHub.

Microsoft has announced a 10-year partnership with NVIDIA. According to its terms, the corporation’s PC games will be available in the GeForce Now cloud service. If Microsoft manages to buy Activision Blizzard, then the publisher’s games will appear in the service.

NVIDIA may become one of the witnesses in the trial between the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Microsoft. This is reported by journalist Stephen Totilo, who studied court documents.

Google and NVIDIA have shared with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) information about the deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard. According to Bloomberg, citing sources, in their statements, the companies supported Sony‘s concerns and indicated that this purchase could harm competition in the markets of cloud services, subscriptions and mobile games.

The Nasdaq exchange has not yet opened, but this did not prevent investors from reacting to the news about the ban for AMD and NVIDIA.

According to The New York Times, the ban was imposed so that Russia and China could not use the chips for military purposes.

Nvidia provoked a scandal. She refused to provide video cards for review to the popular Hardware Unboxed channel due to the fact that its authors allegedly pay insufficient attention to the advantages of retracing. The company tried to apologize, but many reviewers found such a precedent outrageous.

Google and Nvidia have announced that their cloud gaming services will appear on iOS in the form of web applications. At the same time, GeForce Now already works on Apple devices, and the company itself plans to release a special version of Fortnite adapted for control on smartphones.GeForce Now and Stadia decided to follow the path of Amazon’s Luna service, which appeared on iOS in the form of PWA, a progressive web application.

NVIDIA is ready to acquire the developer and licensor of ARM processors for an industry record $40 billion. However, before that, the deal will have to be approved by regulators from several countries.Transaction Details

Publishers are leaving GeForce Now again. Nvidia‘s service is about to lose access to Xbox Game Studios, Warner Bros., Codemasters and Klei Entertainment titles.

The GeForce Now cloud service started unsuccessfully. In the first month, Activision Blizzard and Bethesda left him. But now other major publishers are campaigning for the platform: Epic Games and Ubisoft.

GeForce Now has one failure after another. In its first month, the service lost two top publishers and upset the developers of The Long Dark. It looks like Nvidia has made a number of legal blunders.

Cloud gaming is one of the central agendas of the past and, most likely, this year. After several years in beta (testing of the service began back in 2017) GeForce Now is officially released. Some publications immediately called it the main competitor, almost the killer of Google Stadia, as well as one of the most interesting offers in the niche.

Russian mobile operator Vimpelcom and Nvidia have developed their own solutions for cloud gaming. Both services were introduced today.

Deep learning technology continues to prove its usefulness in improving graphics. Recently, the ESRGAN neural network helped improve the image in The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind by adding detail to textures. Now similar tools have made it possible to improve The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Final Fantasy VII.

At the Siggraph conference, Nvidia demonstrated how the new Epic Games engine – Unreal Engine 4 – works on the latest graphics chip for mobile devices from Nvidia.
