Many PC enthusiasts don't like the fact that the best top-end GPUs use lots of power and try all kinds of ways of reducing the consumption, such as undervolting, frame rate caps, or lowering the max power limit. Graphics card vendor PowerColor is experimenting with a slightly different approach by using an NPU to manage the power usage in games, without impacting performance, in a system called Edge AI.
A demonstration of the work in progress was on display at PowerColor's Computex stand. While we didn't get a chance to see it in action (there was a huge amount to try and see at the event), tech site IT Home and X user Harukaze5719 managed to grab some pictures of the setup and see it running on two computers running Final Fantasy XV.
