SINGAPORE—May 11, 2021—NVIDIA today announced a new wave of GeForce RTX™ laptops from the  world’s top manufacturers, delivering real-time ray tracing and AI-based DLSS to tens of millions more  gamers and creators, starting at just US$799. 

The platforms, many based on the new GeForce RTX 3050 Ti and 3050 Laptop GPUs, bring NVIDIA’s  Ampere architecture with dedicated RT and Tensor Cores to the most mainstream audience yet, and  expand the number of RTX 30 Series laptops to more than 140. 

Providing exceptional performance in thin, sleek designs, the new RTX laptops are twice as fast as  previous-generation systems, delivering smooth, 60 frames per second gameplay at 1080p in popular  titles such as Minecraft RTX and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. 

“The latest wave of laptops provides the perfect opportunity to upgrade, particularly for gamers and  creators with older laptops who want to experience the magic of RTX,” said Mark Aevermann, director  of product management for laptops at NVIDIA. “There are now five times more RTX 30 Series gaming  laptops that are thinner than 18mm compared with previous-generation RTX systems, delivering  ground-breaking performance with very sleek and portable designs.” 

NVIDIA DLSS – The Laptop Game Changer 

Laptop owners, who typically upgrade after about four years of use, can see enormous performance  gains with the newest GeForce RTX 3050-class Laptop GPUs. With NVIDIA DLSS, GeForce RTX 3050 Ti  laptops are also up to 2x faster than previous-generation systems.

Only GeForce RTX GPUs feature specialised Tensor Cores that power DLSS, which is now available in  more than 40 AAA titles and indie game hits, with recent additions such as Outriders, Call of Duty:  Warzone, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT and Mortal Shell. 

Additionally, creators can experience DLSS acceleration in applications such as D5 Render, SheenCity  Mars and NVIDIA Omniverse, which enable artists to visualise their designs in real-time instead of  waiting for ray-traced scenes to finish rendering.  

“Consumers are spending more time than ever on laptops — PC gamers, creators and students are all  driving demand for massive improvements in graphics horsepower and AI-accelerated applications,”  said Bob O’Donnell, president and chief analyst at TECHnalysis Research. “Laptop manufacturers are  responding to this market momentum by designing thinner, higher-performing models to meet the  various needs of consumers — it’s no wonder NVIDIA GPUs are powering so many new designs.” 

NVIDIA Reflex Brings Low-Latency Esports to Laptops 

For those who enjoy competitive games, new GeForce RTX 3050 Ti laptops can deliver 144+ FPS and  sub-25ms system latency in titles such as Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege and Valorant, thanks to the  NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency mode. Seven out of the top 10 competitive shooter games have NVIDIA  

Reflex support, which allows gamers to achieve lower system latency so they can play their absolute  best. NVIDIA Reflex is also supported across the entire RTX 30 Series line-up. 

New AI Effects for Video Conferencing and Livestreaming in NVIDIA Broadcast All RTX 30 Series laptops include support for NVIDIA Broadcast, an app that transforms laptops into a  home studio. This has now been improved with new AI effects — room echo removal and video noise  removal — and updated the audio noise removal to eliminate sounds from cats, dogs and insects. These  effects, together with the previously released virtual background and auto frame, can now be stacked to  provide more control and quality over audio and video.  

New NVIDIA Studio Laptops 

RTX-based Studio laptops are designed for creators to meet their demands for performance and  reliability. Newly unveiled NVIDIA Studio laptops equipped with RTX 30 Series GPUs now render creative  and professional apps up to 2x faster than the previous generation. Video editors can work with 8K RAW 

footage, use AI to simplify workflows and reduce encode times by up to 75 percent. Additionally, artists  can take advantage of up to 16GB of graphics memory to work with huge assets or multiple apps  simultaneously for increased productivity and efficiency.
