Nvidia’s RTX 50 Series GPUs Promise Significantly Faster Video Editing

Nvidia unveiled new GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs for desktop and laptop PCs at CES. Built on Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture, the new GPUs promise significantly improved performance for generative AI tasks alongside advanced hardware encoding for video editing and livestream applications.

Generative AI is undoubtedly a popular buzzword these days, with people using the burgeoning technology to create images, audio assets, and even videos across a wide range of software. However, generative AI is also resource-hungry, which is why tech companies are racing to release new chips with dedicated AI processing onboard.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs aim to satisfy growing AI demands through FP4 support, which reduces the memory load of AI tasks and improves support for a growing list of AI models.

“FP4 is a lower quantization method, similar to file compression, that decreases model sizes. Compared with FP16 — the default method that most models feature — FP4 uses …
