one of the biggest things happening here at the show is not necessarily a product
per se but rather an initiative from NVIDIA so what we're looking at right
now is the ASUS studio book which is one of 17 of what they're calling rtx studio
laptops in what appears to be a clear shot across the bow of apple and the
perception that macbook pros are the
ideal portable computing device for creative professionals so what i'm
looking at right here is one of their new super slim and super sexy quadro rtx
5000 notebook designs where they're showing off not just the performance but
also the flexibility in terms of your workflow that real time ray tracing
along with their tensor cores and all their ai features enables so with a
device like this instead of moving something into the scene and then
waiting around for a render i can evaluate in real time how doing
something like uh you know duplicating my couch here or like here look yeah
there we go duplicating my couch affects the the lighting of the room here let's
let's make a bunch of couches
look at that oh oh that's awful we covered up our light with the couch
surely that won't do let's move our couch over here
no one's ever gonna hire me to design their room here that much is sure
but with a laptop like this i could certainly try for our last demo here
again with the uh obvious comparison we've got red cine x
now this is something that's a little bit more applicable to us and the claim
here is check this out decode to bear and color 6k red video on a notebook in
real time now obviously we're not able to do that using CPU decoding on the
macbook you can see once we use up our buffer here the playback is simply not
smooth by contrast the GeForce rtx studio laptop
using cuda is able to handle it very
comfortably now something that you guys might have
noticed by this point in the video is that these
studio notebooks are not obviously different
from similar gaming models so what exactly is it that sets them apart
well there's a couple of things one of them is that
in some cases the specs have actually been tweaked so instead of a high
refresh rate lower resolution panel you might end up with a higher resolution
lower refresh rate one in this case we're looking at a 4k OLED panel on this
arrow 15 OLED from Gigabyte another
thing actually comes down to drivers so
instead of delivering like 20 plus
game ready drivers a year these studio
or these creator optimized notebooks are expected to get somewhere in the
neighborhood of five to seven that have been validated not just with
professional applications but with professional
workflows so this one right here is running photoshop maya and substance
painter in this case all at the same time this is a quadra 5000 model that
they had task manager pulled up specifically to show that it is sucking
up 15.4 gigs of GPU memory but anyway the
idea is to make sure that these drivers are going to be stable not just with one
application but with multiple ones running at once so that people's
workflows aren't going to get disrupted so we're not expecting these to come
cheap particularly the quadro 5000 based ones with the 16 gig frame buffer but
what's clear is that if your work revolves around needing a powerful
computer and you want to be able to be mobile this is about the most compelling
option that we have ever seen speaking of compelling options our sponsor for
