We imagine that many people in the PC gaming community shy away from anything to do with AI. The reality is that artificial intelligence is now a massive part of the tech industry, which is why you see companies like Nvidia and AMD always talking about it on stage. Plus, it plays an integral part of modern gaming PCs.

In Nvidia’s recent Computex keynote, GeForce had very little to do with the presentation, but CEO Jensen Huang at least made time to mention the RTX 5060 while calling the RTX 50 series “its most successful launch ever“. The new generation has largely focused on refining and improving DLSS, with the introduction of DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation.

Anyone using an RTX graphics card is essentially using an AI PC

AI has become an integral part of gaming graphics for many people, even if you didn’t realize it. Now, when we hear the term ‘AI PC’, we tend to think of a workstation or work laptop marketed towards AI. But that’s not how Huang sees it. In a recent interview with Korean outlet Quasar Zone, he commented on how “RTX is synonymous with AI”.

“Microsoft announced Windows ML a while ago. Now you can run AI on Windows, and now you have NVIDIA running AI on Windows. NVIDIA RTX PCs are all exactly the same architecture, with both CUDA and Tensor cores. So there are hundreds of millions of RTX PCs around the world. And RTX is synonymous with AI, so if machine learning is running on RTX, then hundreds of millions of gamers and laptop users and workstation consumers are now using AI PCs.”

Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO

Based on statistics from January this year, Nvidia says that more than 80% of players using an RTX graphics card enables DLSS while gaming. That’s despite there being plenty of dispute whenever Nvidia reveals first-party benchmarks that heavily rely on upscaling and frame generation. Sure, it’s nice to see native results (that’s what we always provide in our GPU reviews),

Whether you agree with the AI PC label or actively dislike DLSS, it’s safe to say that Nvidia’s AI-accelerated graphics technology isn’t going anyway. Of course, it isn’t just Nvidia, just about every tech company is riding the AI wave.
