Furthermore, it's equipped with a 10 Gigabit + 2.5 Gigabit dual Ethernet ports and supports WiFi 6E wireless networking, enabling faster transmission of large files, high-resolution video streams, and resource sharing.
With the continuous development and popularization of AIGC, GPU, as the primary productivity factor of AIGC, has also attracted the attention of creators. The on-site Stable Diffusion creation utilizes the ASUS ProArt RTX4080 SUPER O16G graphics card, which features the NVIDIA's next-generation RTX 4080 SUPER GPU core, equipped with the fourth-generation Tensor Core and third-generation RT Core, with up to 10,240 CUDA cores, providing robust power for AIGC creation. At the same time, it boasts 16GB of GDDR6X video memory, making it easier for creators to generate high-resolution images. While providing high performance, it is also equipped with a 2.5-slot heat sink armor and a new generation of axial-flow fans, combining strong compatibility and superior heat dissipation performance. Its fully automated manufacturing process technology also brings higher reliability, always assisting efficient creation.
NVIDIA Canvas effortlessly transforms simple strokes into lifelike landscapes using AI, showcasing the future of AI in action. Paired with the ASUS ProArt RTX4070 SUPER-O16G graphics card, aspiring AI creators can accelerate their use of applications and AI software, delivering outstanding creative and performance capabilities. With 12GB of GDDR6X memory providing ample creative space, a new generation axial-flow fan increasing airflow by over 21%, and dual ball bearings offering twice the lifespan of traditional designs, combined with 2.5-slot heat armor and fully automated manufacturing processes, it delivers a reliable creative experience. The fourth-generation Tensor, third-generation RT Core, and the RTX 4070 SUPER GPU core with 7168 CUDA cores provide creators with more cost-effective productivity power.
The ASUS ProArt series monitors have long been coveted by design creators. With wide color gamut, factory pre-calibrated high color accuracy, low blue light eye protection, and various design-specific modes, they are regarded as indispensable tools for design and image production productivity. The ProArt PA279CV boasts a 100% sRGB/REC.709 color gamut, Calman color certification, deltaE less than 2, various color working modes, actual output size mode, eye protection mode, and other signature features of the ProArt series. Moreover, it elevates the resolution to 4K and comes with a 65W Type-C full-function interface! The ProArt PA278QEV IPS high color accuracy pre-calibrated panel covers 100% sRGB and Rec.709 color gamut, meeting the needs of mainstream design work. With deltaE less than 2 for color accuracy and Calman verified certification, it offers various design scene working modes.
Additionally, the ProArt desktop lineup supports ASUS Control Center Express and CreationFirst Focus Mode, combining software and hardware to enhance user productivity, enabling you to unleash your creativity freely!
In addition to AI experiences, the ASUS graphics card high-energy experience area wouldn't be complete without gaming experiences. The area features the ProArt family using the ProArt GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 012G creative graphics card, which offers higher frame rates and better image quality in games. At the venue, visitors can try out "Mindbreaker 2" DLSS toggle experience on two experience machines, allowing them to vividly feel the smooth visual experience brought by DLSS.
For those who have questions during the live experience, how could they miss the technical gurus' insights sharing? We know that NVIDIA has been deeply involved in AI computing for many years, with a comprehensive layout in both CUDA hardware and AI software tools. At the event's presentation hall, Ms. Zhang Lingquan, the Consumer Business Key Account Manager of NVIDIA China, gave an insightful explanation of NVIDIA's latest AI technology trends and leading advantages.
She specifically showcased the capabilities of the RTX 40 SUPER series. NVIDIA GPUs not only boast perfect compatibility but also offer leading computational performance. NVIDIA TensorRT can provide lower latency and higher throughput for inference applications, accelerating the workload of deep learning inference applications. The RTX 40 SUPER series achieves a new level of Hybrid AI acceleration through its three core components: RT Core, CUDA Core, and Tensor Core, offering more comprehensive AI acceleration functions and higher efficiency, thus creating more powerful AI application methods.
