Goodbye CES 2019, this was Ubergizmo’s 14th CES! It was difficult to navigate the avalanche of new products and technologies announced there. Including the pre-show work, it took out a huge chunk of December and all of the Holidays, but the chips have fallen, and here are the best products and technologies we’ve seen at CES 2019, in no particular order!

#CES2019 – Due to the rapid progression that we see in technology, what you buy today can be made obsolete in the next few months. This is why if you want to futureproof yourself, buying the latest is a good way to do that, although admittedly it is pretty much like an endless game of cat and mouse.

We’ve seen how AI can be used rather disturbingly for deepfake videos, and it seems that AI is only getting better at this. NVIDIA has recently published their latest work on AI (via Motherboard) and as you can see in the video above, those are actually not photos of real people, but rather images generated by AI.

NVIDIA’s Shield Android TV box is receiving a new software update today. The company has done a good job of supporting this device over three years after it was first released. Version 7.2 of the set-top box’s firmware brings Amazon Music. Shield TV owners in the United States will now be able to stream music on the device from Amazon Music.

In the past when developers wanted to create virtual landscapes of cities, they would have to create every building individually which can be a long and painstaking process. However it seems that NVIDIA thinks that they might have a way to speed up the process considerably, and that is through the use of AI.

Battlefield 5 players on PC ought to get the new NVIDIA drivers that promise significant ray tracing performance improvements for this title.

NVIDIA teased its flagship consumer GPU, the Titan RTX, not too long ago. The company today officially unveiled this product. It’s a beast of a GPU with a price tag to match. For $2,500, customers get 72 Turing RT and 4,608 CUDA cores as well as 24GB GDDR6 VRAM. That’s a considerable improvement compared to the 68 and 4,352 cores of the RTX 2080 Ti.

It may have taken a few people by surprise when rumors started surfacing over the weekend that the NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti was not only out of stock but that the product had actually been delisted due to a mass recall. There wasn’t an official statement on the matter which only added to the confusion. However, it’s clear now that the delisting rumors have little basis in fact and that […]

Back in August, NVIDIA announced new GPUs in the form of the RTX 2080 Ti. Given its asking price of $999, safe to say that this GPU is not cheap and is clearly aimed at professionals and enthusiasts who might require the power and performance that the GPU has to offer. Unfortunately there have been reports of users complaining about the GPU failing on them.

It’s not uncommon for users to experience a few issues with a new product. Their complaints are often amplified on social media and the support forums until the issues are ironed out. There seem to be quite a few complaints about NVIDIA’s RTX 2080 Ti graphics card so far. The cards are reportedly failing at a high rate.

NVIDIA is enabling deeper integration of Google Home with Shield. The device already comes with Assistant but it doesn’t quite have the same features that you would found on other Assistant devices. This deeper integration between the two should address some of the inconsistencies that users have noticed.

With launch preparations for the GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti out of the way, NVIDIA is now focusing on the GeForce RTX 2070. Benchmarks of this graphics card are yet to arrive but it’s evidently going to be a powerful option for those in the market for a new card. NVIDIA has confirmed that the more affordable GeForce RTX 2070 will be released on October 17th.

NVIDIA announced its latest GPUs during its Gamescom event in August. The GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti are the new graphics cards that are compatible with the company’s new overclocking tool that simplifies the entire process into a one-click operation. The new graphics cards were set to go on sale come September 20th but the release has been pushed back for at least one of them.

NVIDIA has introduced a new tool which will make it simpler for customers to overclock its upcoming 20-series GPUs that are going to start shipping next week. The NVIDIA Scanner tool aims to eliminate the trial and error phase from the process of overclocking, bringing one-click overclocking to customers.
