Nvidia has confirmed that it will deliver a keynote this morning during CES 2022. Nvidia’s senior vice president Jeff Fisher and vice president and general manager Ali Kani will share the company’s plans. Points to cover include, according to Nvidia, “the latest breakthroughs in accelerated computing — from design and simulation to gaming and autonomous vehicles.”

Nvidia hasn’t specified much in terms of which products it will talk about during Tuesday’s keynote, but it gives a good idea of the topics it’s planning to cover. We can expect to hear more about the Nvidia Omniverse, Nvidia Isaac (Nvidia’s robotics platform), self-driving cars, and the rumored upcoming Nvidia graphics cards.

What to expect from Nvidia’s CES 2022 keynote

Nvidia didn’t pull any punches at its CES keynote event, announcing several new products aimed to assert its dominance in the GPU field — and in emerging areas, too.

Starting with laptops, Nvidia unveiled two new GPUs for mobile computers: The RTX 3070 Ti and the RTX 3080 Ti, which the company says is the first time an 80 Ti card will be available in a laptop. The 3070 Ti provides 100 frames per second (fps) at 1440p, Nvidia said, and is 70% faster than the RTX 2070 Super. It’ll be in laptops with pricing starting at $1,499. The mobile 3080 Ti, on the other hand, offers performance beyond the desktop-class Titan RTX and supports 16GB of GDDR6 memory. You’ll be able to get it in laptops starting at $2,499.

There were new Nvidia Studio laptops made by third-party partners, too, which the company claims are up to seven times faster than Apple’s latest MacBook Pro. That’s quite a claim, and we’re looking forward to testing them out.

As for graphics cards, Nvidia lifted the lid on the RTX 3090 Ti, which will come with 24GB of GDDR6X memory running at 21Gb/s. That’ll bring 40 teraflops for shaders, 78 teraflops for ray tracing, and 320 teraflops for A.I. processing. Further details, such as price, were thin on the ground, but we’ll get more info later in the month.

On the more affordable side of things is the new RTX 3050, which is meant to make ray tracing more accessible without breaking the bank. It’s got 8GB of GDDR6 memory and will be available from January 27 with a starting price of $249.

Nvidia wasn’t done there. It also announced an expansion to its GeForce Now games streaming service, with new partnerships with AT&T and Samsung, support for more games, and additional features like DLSS and ray tracing coming to a number of titles. There was news of Nvidia’s efforts to make 1440p resolution the standard for esports monitors, the announcement that its Omniverse 3D platform was out of beta, and plenty of progress on its work on autonomous vehicle systems.

Nvidia is the ‘GPU cartel,’ says former AMD Radeon manager
A hand holding the RTX 4090 GPU.

AMD's former senior vice president and general manager of Radeon has come out with some strong words against Nvidia. Scott Herkelman called Nvidia "the GPU cartel" in response to a story from the Wall Street Journal in which Nvidia's customers claim that it delays GPU shipments in retaliation for those customers shopping with other suppliers.

The accusation in question comes from Jonathan Ross, CEO of AI chip startup Groq, who said, "a lot of people that we meet with say that if Nvidia were to hear that we were meeting, they would disavow it. The problem is you have to pay Nvidia a year in advance, and you may get your hardware in a year, or it may take longer, and it's, 'Aw shucks, you're buying from someone else, and I guess it's going to take a little longer.'"

How Intel could win the GPU war this year
Intel Arc A580 graphics card on a pink background.

Intel faced an uphill climb with Arc Alchemist, and it looks like it might have another fight ahead with its next-gen Battlemage GPUs. The competition is always fierce, and AMD and Nvidia have big plans for the year ahead.

Despite the clouds that loom on the horizon, Intel might still surprise us with Battlemage -- in a good way. Here's where Intel Arc Battlemage is currently at, and why it might have a shot at being one of the best GPUs of the year.
Déjà vu
Prior to the release of Intel Arc Alchemist, one of the main complaints was that the general public was kept in the dark a lot of the time. The release date was pushed back more than once, and the information about the GPUs was fairly scarce compared to the constant hype we've all grown used to with Nvidia and AMD leaks.

Using an RTX 3060? Here’s the GPU to upgrade to next
EVGA RTX 3060 sitting on a table.

Nvidia's RTX 3060 is a certified legend. It's the most popular graphics card in gaming PCs, according to the Steam hardware survey, and that makes sense. For gamers playing at 1080p, you can't ask for more than what the RTX 3060 offers between its low price, 12GB of VRAM, and features like Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS).

But where do you go from there? If you picked up an RTX 3060 over the last couple of years and you're looking to take your PC gaming to the next level, I rounded up the best GPUs to upgrade to from the RTX 3060.
