Nvidia teases RTX 3000 laptop GPUs for January 12



[ad_1]

Nvidia has started teasing its launch of the RTX 3000 series for laptops. The GPU maker is hosting a virtual press event for CES tomorrow, and there are many plans to unveil the mobile versions of the RTX 3000 series GPUs. A new teaser video includes a very clear hint of a laptop, as well as other announcements that Nvidia is likely to make.

Tom’s Guide notes that the teaser includes four images: a gaming laptop, the Outriders game, a resizable GeForce RTX and BAR (base address register) logo. The gaming laptop hints at RTX 3000 mobile GPUs, but the RTX logo is also likely to tease other desktop GPUs. Rumors suggest that Nvidia is set to unveil an RTX 3060 GPU that will be priced lower than Nvidia’s latest RTX 3060 Ti card.

The resizable BAR bracket seems to be a hint for an upcoming driver update for RTX cards from Nvidia. Much like AMD’s Smart Access memory, Nvidia can increase the throughput between a processor and a GPU to improve frame rates. Motherboard makers will need to provide BIOS updates to enable this for Intel and AMD processors, but Nvidia’s teaser suggests that it’s ready to roll out the necessary driver support as well.

Nvidia is hosting their CES press event at 9am PT / 12PM ET on January 12, and we’ll cover all announcements as we go.
