What's Driving The Retail Interest: At Nvidia's virtual Game Developer Conference 2021, the company demoed GeForce RTX technologies on the Arm platform.

This, according to the company, shows how advanced graphics can be extended to a broader, more power efficient set of devices.

The two demos included "Wolfenstein: Youngblood" from Bethesda Softworks and "MachineGames," as well as "The Bistro" from the Open Research Content Archive. Both were demonstrated on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU paired with a MediaTek Kompanio 1200 Arm processor.

"The new platforms where we can deploy advanced graphics so gamers have more choice. The performance and energy efficiency of ARM CPUs with NVIDIA technologies can open an entirely new class of PCs," the company said.

GeForce RTX technologies — including GPU-accelerated ray tracing, Deep Learning Super Sampling, or DLSS, and other AI-powered innovations - have made a significant impact on real-time graphics since their introduction in 2018, Nvidia said.

DLSS uses AI to boost frame rates and generate beautiful, sharp images for games.

NVDA Price Action: At last check, Nvidia shares were up 3.41% at $751.19.
