  NVIDIA recently introduced a new feature called "Chat With RTX". This AI chatbot works locally on GeForce RTX 30 and 40 GPUs, leveraging TensorRT-LLM & Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) software fully supported by RTX GPUs and accelerated by the integrated Tensor core. Today, let's learn about it with Phuc Anh.  NVIDIA's Chat With RTX was created to enable anyone to harness the power of their graphics card to perform AI tasks. Most of us have seen AI do interesting things with images and videos, but until now, conversations have been mostly stuck in large data centers because of the resources needed for the models. AI is complex with a lot of data that must be constantly updated.  Now you can download some versions that are available for free. However, like any new technology, setting it up is a bit complicated because it is a new model. NVIDIA clearly wants to make this process much simpler through a single app that runs on your machine and that you can fire up through your browser, making the whole process more user-friendly. user.  NVIDIA launches Chat With RTX feature Chat With RTX is more than just a word processor, it can also access a variety of file formats, including text, pdf, doc/docx and xml. It exploits the capabilities of popular models such as Mistral or Llama2 to generate responses and can also use online resources such as YouTube videos. Currently, NVIDIA confirms that it only supports GeForce RTX 30 and RTX 40 GPUs without mentioning the RTX 20 series. The GPU must have a minimum of 8GB of VRAM, except for the RTX 3050 6GB model which will still be supported. 

AMD today released the latest version of AMD Software Adrenalin. Version 24.2.1 WHQL comes with optimizations for "Skull and Bones" and "Nightingale". With this release, AMD is also expanding the Vulkan API feature set with new extensions as listed below. A large number of issues have been fixed with this release. The first is; A latency issue with "Helldivers 2" on RX 7000 series GPUs has been resolved. Fixed excessive stuttering when playing some games, such as "Battlefield 2042", "Destiny 2", "Overwatch 2", "Monster Hunter: World", "PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS" and "STAR WARS Battlefront II ". Excessive game loading times with "Deathloop" on cards such as the RX 6900 XT have been fixed. Driver AMD Software Adrenalin 24.2.1 WHQL officially released Fixed "Dead Space" error on some RX 6000 series cards with RTAO enabled. The first time launching "Enshrouded" or changing AA settings, caused this error application crash which has been fixed. Visual artifacts in the game have also been fixed. HDR settings not taking effect with "Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth" has been fixed. Fixed driver-timeout issue with "Counterstrike 2" with FSR enabled on RX 7900 XTX. Fixed incorrect reporting of graphics APIs such as DirectX 12 in some Vulkan games. Parsec server application crashed after restart, fixed. Microsoft Teams showing looped webcam footage on Ryzen 7 7840U has been fixed.  New game support - Skull and bones - Nightingale The problem has been fixed - Improved intermittent driver timeouts or application crashes that occurred when playing HELLDIVERS 2 on AMD Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. AMD is continuing to investigate additional reports of driver timeouts and application crashes when playing HELLDIVERS 2. - Improved excessive stuttering when playing various games, including Battlefield 2042, Destiny 2, Overwatch 2, Monster Hunter: World, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, and STAR WARS Battlefront II. - Deathloop may experience prolonged load times on some AMD graphics card products, such as the Radeon RX 6900 XT. - Dead Space may experience application crashes after enabling RTAO on some AMD graphics card products, such as Radeon RX 6800. - The application crashes intermittently when launching Enshrouded for the first time or changing anti-aliasing settings on AMD Radeon 7000 graphics card products. - Shadows may appear bright or may lack reflections when playing Enshrouded on AMD Radeon 7000 series graphics card products. - HDR settings may sometimes not take effect when playing certain games such as Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth. - Fix driver timeout or application error when playing Counterstrike 2 with FSR enabled on some AMD graphics card products, such as Radeon RX 7900 XTX. - Graphics API index may be incorrectly reported as DirectX 12 for some Vulkan games. - After a system reboot, the Parsec server application may crash on some AMD graphics card products, such as the Radeon RX 7900 XTX. - During Microsoft Teams meetings, the camera may occasionally show looping footage on some AMD products, such as the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U CPU. - Oculus Rift S can display with a green tint on AMD Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. - AFMF may be displayed incorrectly on select hybrid graphics configurations, particularly in systems where one of the devices lacks support for AFMF. AFMF must be supported on the display GPU to be enabled. - You may experience stuttering or stuttering when selecting a discrete GPU as the primary display adapter on certain mobile systems, such as an AMD Ryze 9 6900HS CPU paired with an AMD Radeon RX mobile GPU 6800S. Fix known issues - Driver timeouts or application errors may occur when playing HELLDIVERS 2 at 100% GPU utilization on some AMD graphics products, such as the Radeon RX 7900 XTX. - Application crashes or driver timeouts may occur when playing Starcraft II on a Radeon RX 7000 series GPU. - There may be application or driver timeout issues when playing Overwatch 2 with Radeon Boost enabled on Radeon RX 6000 series GPUs and above. Users experiencing this issue should disable Radeon Boost as a temporary solution. - World of Warcraft may experience prolonged initial load times with the DirectX 12 API on some AMD graphics products, such as the Radeon RX 6800. - Shader caching may fail for Windows usernames containing accented characters.  - FPS performance index may incorrectly report values ​​while the game is scaled.  - AMD SmartAccess Video may be incorrectly reported as "Available" on some systems with the Parsec virtual display driver installed. - Performance degradation may be observed when using some DirectML workloads in Topaz AI. - Audio and video may sometimes be out of sync while recording with the AV1 codec in AMD Software Adrenalin. Important notes - For users who have previously installed the AMD Software preview driver, it is recommended to run the AMD Cleanup Utility before installing this driver. - Some graphics profiles in each game may have been incorrectly set to HYPR-RX Eco after a driver upgrade. Users experiencing this issue can use the factory reset option to return all configurations to default.
