Hi there,
I want to share some thoughts and want to hear your opinions on it.
Recently, AI developments are booming also in the sense of game development. E.g. NVIDIA ACE which would bring the possibility of NPCs which run an AI model to communicate with players.
Also, there are developments on an alternative to ray tracing where lighting, shadows and reflections are generated using AI which would need less performance and has similar visual aesthetics as ray tracing.
So it seems like raster performance is already at a pretty decent level. And graphic card manufacturers are already putting increasingly AI processors on the graphics card.
In my eyes, the next logical step would be to separate the work of the graphics card, which would be rasterisation and ray tracing, from AI. Resulting in maybe a new kind of PCIe card, an AI accelerator, which would feature a processor optimized for parallel processing and high data throughput.
This would allow developers to run more advanced AI models on the consumer’s pc. For compatibility, they could e.g. offer a cloud based subscription system.
Good question, but I’d say that the same train of thought went through dedicated physics cards. I’d guess that an AI card should have a great value proposition to be worth buying.

I’m not sure where you’re going with this, but it feels wrong. I’m not buying a hardware part that cannot function without a constant internet connection or regular payment.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!
