NVIDIA releases an experimental version of the Project G-Assist System Assistant

NVIDIA has just released a new experimental version of the Project G-Assist System Assistant feature for GeForce RTX desktop users, along with DLSS 4 with multi frame generation for five new games. Read below for full details:

Today, NVIDIA is releasing an experimental version of the Project G-Assist System Assistant feature for GeForce RTX desktop users, via NVIDIA app. Project G-Assist runs locally on GeForce RTX AI PCs and is built to help users control a broad range of PC settings, from optimizing game and system settings, charting frame rates and other key performance statistics, to controlling select peripherals settings such as lighting — all via basic voice or text commands. G-Assist can provide real-time diagnostics and recommendations to alleviate system bottlenecks, improve power efficiency, optimize game settings, overclock your GPU, and much more.

AI developers and enthusiasts can also extend the capabilities of G-Assist by building custom plugins. To get started, NVIDIA has published a GitHub repository with samples and instructions for creating plugins that control PC peripherals, connect to 3rd-party app APIs, and more. G-Assist is built with NVIDIA ACE, which is the same AI tech suite game developers use to breathe life into NPCs. You can download Project G-Assist through NVIDIA app’s Home tab in the Discovery section. More information on Project G-Assist can be found in this article. And to expand the possibilities of local generative AI workflows, NVIDIA NIM microservices are now available on RTX AI PCs and workstations with AI Blueprints coming soon. To learn more about Project G-Assist’s System Assistant plugin builder, NIM and AI Blueprints, check out this week’s RTX AI Garage blog post.

In addition to Project G-Assist availability, NVIDIA app has several other updates launching this week, including expanding the functionality of DLSS overrides and enabling players to fine tune image quality or boost performance. The new NVIDIA app update adds a new feature to the “DLSS Override - Super Resolution” setting for users who have GeForce Game Ready Driver or NVIDIA Studio Driver 572.83 WHQL, or newer installed. Previously, it could activate DLAA or DLSS Super Resolution Ultra Performance mode in games and apps lacking native support. Now, you can enable any DLSS preset, or alternatively customize the resolution scaling between 33% and 100%. Display Scaling and Display Color settings have also been moved over from the NVIDIA Control Panel, modernizing and improving them, and taking another step towards unifying all NVIDIA GPU features in one responsive application.

NVIDIA is also rolling out support for DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation in new games including Enlisted KARMA: The Dark World, The First Berserker: Khazan, and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. And DLSS 4 is coming to Remedy Entertainment’s FBC: Firebreak at launch.
