I can imagine that at some point in the next year or two we'll see games that use the GPU for rendering and then the NPU for upscaling, but I don't think that's actually happening yet. As far as I am aware, none of the fancy "AI upscaling" technologies used by games are running on anything other than the GPU so far.
- ICGaia 2y agoI think gaming has many exceptional use cases for an NPU in the next “few”-to-“several” years. One big one I see coming: Dynamic Voiceover. Imagine instead of a generic filler name, each voice actor’s generative model could speak your character’s nam3 in video game scenes. Now imagine generating entirely novel conversations with highly nuanced NPCs.

- adgjlsfhk1 2y agopretty sure npu is useless for video. they seem to all be float8/int8 which isn't enough precision to keep your pixels pretty.
- wtallis 2y agoI think most of the NPUs (and all of the ones that meet Microsoft's Copilot+ requirements) can also do float16.
