NVIDIA has started rolling out a new option to download Project G-Assist, a new experimental AI powered feature that lets you perform various tasks using voice or text. Announced earlier this year at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the company says Project G-Assist is powered by a “specially tuned Small Language Model (SLM) to efficiently interpret natural language instructions” to complete different NVIDIA and third-party PC APIs actions on a PC.
What can NVIDIA G-Assist do?
Some of these actions include answering questions about your PC hardware, NVIDIA software on your RTX GPU, providing real-time diagnostics and recommendations to fix bottlenecks, improve power efficiency, optimise a game’s graphic settings and overclock GPU.
It can also track various performance metrics like latency, FPS, GPU utilisation, temperatures and export the information. The new AI powered feature can also be used to control select peripherals and software with simple commands to enable things like changing lighting and adjusting fan speeds.
NVIDIA G-Assist system requirements
To download and install G-Assist, head over to the new NVIDIA app. When done, use the Alt+G shortcut to active G-Assist. NVIDIA says when users trigger the feature, a portion of your RTX GPU is briefly allocated to run the AI inference, which means you might see a temporary performance drop in games or GPU when it is working in the background.
To use G-Assist, you would have a GeForce RTX 30 series or newer card with 12GB of VRAM, a modern CPU, and GeForce 572.83 or newer drivers.
