Nvidia’s Winning Move At CES 2025: From Graphics To AI

Expert Verified By

Nvidia's winning move at CES 2025 with powerful new GPUs, AI innovations, and DLSS advancements set a new gaming standard.

Story Highlights
  • Nvidia dominated CES 2025 with new GPUs and AI advancements, setting a high standard for competitors.
  • Despite its high price, the RTX 5090 impressed with its performance, showcasing Nvidia’s tech leadership.
  • Nvidia’s neural shaders and AI innovations highlight its commitment to integrating AI into gaming and beyond. 

Nvidia once again dominated CES 2025, emerging as the tech world leader. With Intel making few announcements and AMD’s presentation being overcrowded and missing a key GPU launch, Nvidia easily overshadowed its competitors with exciting announcements, including powerful new graphics hardware and AI advancements.

Nvidia showcased its new RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070 GPUs at CES 2025. While controversy surrounds its latest flagship GPU, the RTX 5090, Nvidia’s success at the event was not solely reliant on this. Instead, Nvidia showcased a wide range of new technologies, including the next version of its highly popular (DLSS)

RTX 5090: The Expensive Top Graphics Card

Nvidia’s latest flagship RTX 5090 was the star of CES 2025, providing superior performance to other GPUs like the 4080 Super. However, the RTX 5090 faced criticism for its high price tag of $2,000. While this price point raised concerns, it cannot be ignored that the GPU comes with powerful features and performance.

However, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang dismissed concerns over the $1999 price of the RTX 5090, emphasizing that it’s aimed at enthusiasts seeking the best performance and won’t compromise to save $100. He acknowledged that the flagship GPU is not for everyone, targeting gamers with high-end rigs over $10K.

Despite the debate over cost, Nvidia’s success at CES 2025 was clear. The RTX 5090 demonstrated Nvidia’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of gaming technology, featuring advancements such as Tensor cores that enhance DLSS4 for better frame rates and sharper graphics.

Beyond gaming, the RTX 5090 also has significant potential in other industries. Its AI features, including neural shaders, offer new possibilities for AI research and virtual production. The RTX 5090 is not just a powerful gaming card; it represents the future of GPUs in various fields.

Neural Shaders: Redefining The Future Of Rendering

One of the key reasons Nvidia emerged as the clear winner at CES 2025 was its introduction of neural shaders. If you aren’t familiar with the shaders, they are programs that run on a GPU to handle how graphics are displayed in games and apps.

In the past, there were fixed-function shaders limited to specific tasks. As technology advanced, Nvidia introduced programmable shaders, allowing developers more control over graphics rendering. Now, with neural shaders, Nvidia takes it a step further.

These advanced shaders enable developers to incorporate small AI networks into graphics code, allowing for real-time visual improvements. Using Nvidia’s specialized Tensor cores, neural shaders improve graphics quality without compromising performance.

Neural shaders have huge potential, like Neural Radiance Cache, which uses AI to generate realistic lighting effects without placing excessive demands on the GPU. Another example is Neural Materials, which shrinks complex code, making creating high-quality graphics in real-time possible instead of relying on slower offline rendering.

What makes neural shaders unique is their wide range of uses. They could affect many areas, like virtual reality, architecture, and scientific work. Even though it might take years for neural shaders to reach their full potential, their launch at CES 2025 is an important step in improving graphics technology.

Beyond Graphics: Nvidia’s AI Ambitions

Nvidia’s influence at CES 2025 extended beyond graphics hardware as the company showcased its growing impact in artificial intelligence. The Nvidia introduced several key neural shader innovations, including Neural Materials, Neural Texture Compression, and the Neural Radiance Cache.

One notable application of Nvidia’s AI innovations is in Neural Texture Compression. These tools boost performance, improve visuals, and simplify development, helping creators do more with less. 

Traditional methods often compromise quality for efficiency, but Nvidia’s Neural Texture Compression uses AI to save up to seven times the memory without losing visual fidelity. Nvidia’s AI-driven optimizations also extend to hardware, positioning the company to shape a future where AI-powered computing becomes the norm.
