Nvidia’s CES 2019 press conference will close out the first media day of this year’s Consumer Electronics Show. Nvidia, a company mainly known for its contributions to computer graphics and gaming, will be hosting its own press conference on Sunday, January 6 at 8 p.m. Pacific. After the first two media days, the show itself begins on January 8.

What to expect

In previous years, we’ve seen Nvidia branch out of its computer graphics domain as it developed other products involving artificial intelligence, virtual reality, streaming media players, and even self-driving cars. It’s possible that this year’s announcement will reveal projects that are simply a continuation of those same categories.

Since self-driving cars, streaming media players, and virtual reality devices are still all the rage for consumers— especially those with a deep interest in emerging tech— it’s likely that we’ll hear more about Xavier (a system-on-chip for self-driving cars), Nvidia Shield TV (a streaming media player), and the company’s Turing GPUs (their latest step towards “full immersion” virtual reality).

But it’s also possible that Nvidia may surprise us with more of its lesser known endeavors, such as its foray into robotics.

While Nvidia has been working in the field of robotics for awhile, it’s not exactly the field of expertise that comes to mind when you think of Nvidia. That perception could change at this year’s CES. Nvidia has already developed the Jetson AGX Xavier module, which was intended to power things like delivery drones. It would be interesting to see how Nvidia plans to evolve the design and use of the Jetson AGX Xavier module, if at all.

The announcement many gamers are anticipating is a possible GeForce RTX 20-series graphics cards for laptops. That’s right, real-time ray tracing on your laptop. We’ll have to wait for all the details to come forth, but it’s safe to assume we’ll get some time spent on mobile graphics.

In any case, no matter which products Nvidia chooses to announce at this year’s CES, we hope that they’ll continue to surprise us with their expansions into other markets. One thing’s for sure. Nvidia has already proven they’re definitely not just about graphics cards anymore.

The press conference is slated to begin 8 p.m. Pacific and will feature Nvidia’s founder and CEO, Jensen Huang. You can view the press conference here via the embedded video above.

I switched to an AMD GPU for a month — here’s why I don’t miss Nvidia
RX 7900 XTX slotted into a test bench.

AMD's RX 7900 XTX currently tops Digital Trends' list of the best graphics cards. But there's more to a GPU than just performance testing and benchmarks, and some of those things can't be discovered until you live with a piece of tech day in and day out.

So, I figured it was high time to put my proverbial money where my mouth is by using AMD's card every day in my own PC. And a month later, I'm happy to report that aside from some minor hiccups, I don't miss Nvidia as much as I thought I would.

Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti vs. AMD RX 7900 XT: Two odd choices for your next GPU
The RTX 4070 Ti graphics card on a pink background.

Nvidia's RTX 4070 Ti is here, which means that the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT has a direct competitor now. Comparing AMD to Nvidia is never overly straightforward, but it can be done. Benchmark results speak for themselves, and we've got plenty of those, all based on our own thorough testing of both cards.

While the RTX 4070 Ti and the RX 7900 XT are not some of the best graphics cards on the current market, they certainly fill important roles by offering gaming at a more affordable price -- at least in theory. Below, we'll talk about which of these GPUs is the better option if you're looking to upgrade your PC.
