Moving on to the GPU, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU supports AI-powered DLSS 3.5 (deep learning super sampling 3.5), so for both gaming and content creation, expect ultra-fast, forever smooth operations. AI also comes into play with the tensor cores, delivering AI experiences unimaginable on an average laptop. The Nitro 16 will show you more frames than ever before: Nvidia DLSS 3.5 is powered by 4th-gen tensor cores and optical flow accelerator, using AI to create additional frames of the highest quality.
Playing for the high one with RTX
Ray-tracing, a technology simulating the behavior of natural light, is unleashed via the ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace architecture. Imbuing the virtual worlds of your favorite AAA tiles with incredible detail and life-like light, the GeForce RTX will have you questioning reality itself. Delivering consistent excellence requires optimizing all aspects of the device, and that’s where Nvidia Max-Q technologies step into the frame. This suite of AI-powered technologies optimize all aspects of the Nitro 16 from the display to the CPU, software, thermals, and more, enabling a powerful, slim and quiet laptop.
The pleasure is to play: the AI edge
We are all aware by now of the edge that AI can give us in both work and play. GeForce RTX equips you with the ultimate AI power for Windows PCs, for gaming, content creation and productivity. Currently over 300 games and apps benefit from DLSS 3.5, for greatly improved graphics performance and quality. For creators, more than 100 AI-enabled, RTX accelerated apps can supercharge your work, including the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, Blender, Blackmagic Davinci Resolve, and OBS Studio. Pushing the envelope even further, Nvidia Studio’s suite of AI tools transforms creative workflows, pushing creativity to new frontiers with next-gen DLSS and OptiX.
