At this year's GDC event, Nvidia showcased all its latest RTX technologies, including Ace, its software suite of 'digital human technologies.' One of the first games to use it is Inzoi, a Sims-like game, and while chatting to Nvidia about it, I learned that the AI model takes up a surprising amount of VRAM, which raises an interesting question about how much memory future GeForce cards are going to have.
The implementation of Nvidia Ace in Inzoi (or inZOI, to use the correct title) is relatively low-key. The family you control, along with background NPCs, all display 'thought bubbles' which give you clues as to how they're feeling, what their plans are, and what they're considering doing in the future. Enabling Nvidia's AI system gives you a bit more control over their thoughts, as well as making them adapt and respond to changes around them more realistically.
