How to watch Nvidia’s CES 2022 keynote today

By

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

More than 160 new GeForce laptops expected this year.

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.

AMD takes lead over Nvidia, but how long will it last?
An Asus RX 9070 XT TUF GPU.

While both AMD and Nvidia make some of the best graphics cards, pitting the two against each other usually reveals that Nvidia dominates the GPU market with an over 80% share. However, a new survey revealed that, at least in the recent weeks, many gamers preferred to go with AMD when buying a GPU. But how long will this surprising lead even last?

AMD’s RX 9070 XT beats Nvidia’s $1,000+ GPU, but there’s a catch
Fans on the RTX 5080.

AMD's RX 9070 XT hit the shelves last week, and the response has been largely positive. The GPU was expected to perform on around the same level as Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti, making it capable of beating some of the best graphics cards. However, a known overclocker just managed to push the GPU to new heights, helping it beat Nvidia's $1,000+ RTX 5080.

Der8auer took the RX 9070 XT out for an extensive spin and achieved interesting results. Prior to launch, many thought the RX 9070 XT would rival the RTX 5070 at best, but now, we've seen it beating not just the RTX 5070 Ti but also the RTX 5080 in today's test. The catch? Not only did Der8auer use a premium card, but the GPU was also overclocked and undervolted.

An AMD RX 9060 XT with 16GB would ruin Nvidia’s second-hand market
Several AMD RX 9000 series graphics cards.

I know, I know we're all hopped up about the RX 9070 XT and 9070 launch -- I know I am. But looking beyond the potential big win AMD is on for with its first RDNA4 graphics cards, I'm also particularly excited about the potential for the rumored 9060 XT. Not because it'll be cheaper again -- it will be -- but because it might have up to 16GB of VRAM. That's going to wreck Nvidia's long-term second-hand card market, which could have a much greater impact on AMD's market share over the long term.

It's all just rumors for now, and some of my colleagues are much less excited by this than I am, but I think there's some real potential here for this little card to be a game changer.
Hitting the VRAM wall
Video memory, or VRAM, has been a front-and centre feature of graphics card spec sheets for generations, but it's started to matter a lot more in recent years. While flagship graphics cards have exploded in their VRAM quantities, with the 5090 now offering 32GB, most mainstream cards have been getting by with less. It was only a couple of generations ago that the flagship RTX 3080 only had 10GB of VRAM, and outside of the top few models, you'll still see 12GB, 10GB, or even 8GB.
