At GDC, NVIDIA announced a suite of tools designed to streamline local AI video generation for concept development and storyboarding. These updates specifically target rendering workflows running on NVIDIA RTX GPUs and the DGX Spark AI development desktop. ComfyUI, a popular generative AI tool known for its highly customizable but complex interface, is receiving a major accessibility update. To make the software more approachable for artists unfamiliar with visual programming concepts like node graphs, ComfyUI introduced App View. This new, simple interface allows you to generate content simply by entering a text prompt and adjusting basic parameters. The traditional, complex workspace remains fully available as Node View, and you can toggle seamlessly between the two modes depending on your need for granular control.

Generating high-quality 4K Ultra HD video locally entails balancing three constraints, generation speed, video memory limits, and overall control. Artists typically generate smaller, faster previews before upscaling them, a process that traditionally took minutes for just a 10-second clip. To accelerate this pipeline, NVIDIA released RTX Video Super Resolution as a node from directly within ComfyUI, enabling rapid upscaling to 4K. AI developers can access this upscaling technology through a free Python package available via the PyPI repository. The tool takes advantage of Tensor cores on GeForce RTX GPUs.

AVerMedia Technologies, a global leader in streaming and digital audiovisual solutions, today announces the launch of Live Streamer, a new mobile streaming app, and new feature updates to its PC-based Streaming Center software. These updates together expand AVerMedia's creator ecosystem across mobile and PC workflows. Developed to complement the X'TRA GO GC515 and ELITE GO GC313Pro capture devices, Live Streamer offers a lightweight alternative for creators who want the flexibility of mobile streaming without replacing their existing PC-based workflows. For moments when portability matters such as traveling, staying in hotels, or creating content on the move, creators can now stream using just their mobile devices, without carrying a laptop.

"Creators don't always want to carry a full PC setup, but they still need control, reliability, and quality when streaming on the go," said Michael Kuo, President and CEO of AVerMedia Technologies. "With the GO Series and Live Streamer, we're offering a mobile streaming solution that is easy to use, powerful where it matters, and flexible enough to fit into different creative moments."

2025 marked a breakout year for AI development on PC. PC-class small language models (SLMs) improved accuracy by nearly 2x over 2024, dramatically closing the gap with frontier cloud-based large language models (LLMs). AI PC developer tools including Ollama, ComfyUI, llama.cpp and Unsloth have matured, their popularity has doubled year over year and the number of users downloading PC-class models grew tenfold from 2024.

These developments are paving the way for generative AI to gain widespread adoption among everyday PC creators, gamers and productivity users this year. At CES this week, NVIDIA has announced a wave of AI upgrades for GeForce RTX, NVIDIA RTX PRO and NVIDIA DGX Spark devices that unlock the performance and memory needed for developers to deploy generative AI on PC.

The highly anticipated NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 update, including Ray Reconstruction for NVIDIA Omniverse - a platform for connecting and building custom 3D tools and apps - is now available. RTX Video Super Resolution (VSR) will be available with tomorrow's NVIDIA Studio Driver release - which also supports the DLSS 3.5 update in Omniverse and is free for RTX GPU owners. The version 1.5 update delivers greater overall graphical fidelity, upscaling for native videos and support for GeForce RTX 20 Series GPUs. NVIDIA Creative Director and visual effects producer Sabour Amirazodi returns In the NVIDIA Studio to share his Halloween-themed project: a full projection mapping show on his house, featuring haunting songs, frightful animation, spooky props and more.

Creators can join the #SeasonalArtChallenge by submitting harvest- and fall-themed pieces through November The latest Halloween-themed Studio Standouts video features ghouls, creepy monsters, haunted hospitals, dimly lit homes and is not for the faint-of-heart.

NVIDIA today announced an update to RTX Video Super Resolution (VSR) that delivers greater overall graphical fidelity with preserved details, upscaling for native videos and support for GeForce RTX 20 Series desktop and laptop GPUs. For AI assists from RTX VSR and more - from enhanced creativity and productivity to blisteringly fast gaming - check out the RTX for AI page.

The Super RTX VSR Update 1.5
RTX VSR's AI model has been retrained to more accurately identify the difference between subtle details and compression artifacts to better preserve image details during the upscaling process. Finer details are more visible, and the overall image looks sharper and crisper than before. RTX VSR version 1.5 will also de-artifact videos played at their native resolution - prior, only upscaled video could be enhanced. Providing a leap in graphical fidelity for laptop owners with 1080p screens, the updated RTX VSR makes 1080p resolution, which is popular for content and displays, look smoother at its native resolution, even with heavy artifacts. And with expanded RTX VSR support, owners of GeForce RTX 20 Series GPUs can benefit from the same AI-enhanced video as those using RTX 30 and 40 Series GPUs. RTX VSR 1.5 is available as part of the latest Game Ready Driver, available for download today. Content creators downloading NVIDIA Studio Drivers - designed to enhance features, reduce repetitiveness and dramatically accelerate creative workflows - can install the driver with RTX VSR releasing in early November.
