Here’s why Nvidia’s shots against AMD drivers just don’t add up
Nvidia’s Portal with RTX hits December 8, expect advanced graphics features such as DLSS 3, and more
Nvidia has shared release details for its reimagining of Portal, containing advanced graphics features such as full ray tracing, DLSS 3, and more.
Crafted by Nvidia Lightspeed Studios, you can expect accelerated performance with DLSS 3 and minimized system latency using Reflex. Upgrades also include full ray tracing, hand-crafted hi-res physically-based textures, and enhanced high-poly models evocative of the originals.
Portal with RTX also utilizes a graphics suite with DLSS 3. GeForce 40 Series GPU users will see a 2.8X increase in performance, making the game incredibly smooth and responsive compared to native rendering. GeForce 30 series GPU users will benefit from DLSS 2.

Nvidia’s selling a nerfed GPU in China to get around export restrictions
Nvidia has released a cut-down version of its high-end A100 GPU as a way to get around restrictions the US government recently imposed to limit how companies can sell AI training equipment to countries like China and Russia. The card, known as the A800, should have the same massive computing capabilities as the original but can only communicate with other cards in a computing cluster at 400 gigabytes per second instead of 600Gbps. According to The Wall Street Journal, that means the A800 should be just as good for simple tasks but will be significantly less effective when it’s part of something like a supercomputer.
An unnamed Nvidia spokesperson told Reuters that the card is an “alternative product to the Nvidia A100 GPU for customers…
