12GB video memory has been ridiculed as unusable before, but few software or hardware manufacturers have taken practical actions to "sentence the death penalty" to 0GB video memory, but just yesterday, Lao Huang quite radically announced that the graphics card with 0GB video memory or even 0GB video memory is "the end is coming".

Nvidia issued a press release on its official website yesterday, announcing the launch of a small language model (SLM) called "Project G-Assist" (meaning game assistant), which can understand natural language instructions and act as a computer based on instructions.

Nvidia advertises that it has 4 major features:

1. Provide real-time diagnosis and suggestions to alleviate system bottlenecks, improve energy efficiency, optimize game settings or overclocked graphics cards.

2. Draw and export performance metrics such as frame rate (FPS), latency, GPU utilization, and temperature.

3. Answer questions about your computer's hardware or GeForce RTX graphics card software.

4. Control the light or fan speed of compatible peripherals with simple commands. (At present, Logitech G series, Corsair, MSI, Green Nuo and other brands have been supported)

According to NVIDIA's description, the language model is more like adding a dialogue function to the "GeForce Experience" software. Nvidia also said that the model is not a common general-purpose chat model, and can only implement specified functions. However, if you want to chat, you can also use it, G-Assist has reserved the API interface of Google Gemini, but users have to add it themselves.

Although G-Assist is only a small local model, the hardware requirements of the software are not too low.

According to the table listed by NVIDIA, gamers need at least a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 8, 0 or 0 series desktop graphics card with at least 0GB of video memory, which means that the current mainstream RTX 0 and RTX 0 Ti (0GB) will be excluded.

CPU方面幾乎是0要求，任意英特爾奔騰G系列和酷睿處理器都支援，更是支援AMD全系列銳龍處理器和線程撕裂者，甚至連FX系列都支援。

It is worth mentioning that NVIDIA kindly reminds that "when performing a mission, the GeForce RTX GPU will briefly allocate some computing power to AI inference, during which the game frame rate may fluctuate briefly, and the full performance output will be restored after the task is completed." "Therefore, it is best not to use G-Assist during the game.

Nvidia's move can be said to be a critical illness notice for the "small video memory" graphics card, and in the future, Nvidia will launch new features, and I am afraid it will be difficult to bring the "small video memory" graphics card to play.
