Watch live: Nvidia's CES 2016 press conference

[Julio Franco]

Nvidia is a company with deep roots in PC hardware and more specifically 3D graphics, however over time they've shown they are not afraid to stray away and experiment. Since their days as a PC chipset manufacturer, console graphics provider, and most recently with the Nvidia Shield set-top box, portable console and tablet, and even delving into automotive, which was largely the focus of last year's CES keynote.

At 9pm EST (6pm PST) Nvidia's CEO Jen-Hsun Huang will take the stage and get things rolling at CES 2016, in Las Vegas. The livestream of the keynote can be watched below and followed at Nvidia's blog as well. We certainly hope we can hear about their next-gen GPUs, after all AMD jumped the gun earlier today soft-launching their all-new Radeon architecture for 2016.

Update: Full coverage of Nvidia's PX2 announcement, a dual-GPU, dual-SoC chip for cars is here.

So that is tonight in 30 minutes.

I'd love to see the new hbm-powered NVidia gpus pitted against amd's previous and new hbm-powered gpus.

You might be waiting a while. Nvidia will no doubt unveil at least the big Pascal (GP100) at GTC in the first week of April. If history is any indicator that will initially be reserved for Tesla co-processors, and the lowly consumer will have to content themselves with GP104/GP106's - the latter could be what's powering the PX2 judging by the GPU size, GDDR5 chips, and the 250W power envelope for two SoC's plus dual GPUs.

Spoiler

Hopefully the new process node ramp is smooth and AMD and Nvidia don't experience too many issues in getting the hardware out.

So basically Nvidia becomes a "It's meant to be driven" instead of "It's meant to be played" company.Nice.

Where roads are so heavily tessellated only Nvidia enabled cars will be able to reach the speed limit!

Me I was thinking that only the yellow brick roads are heavily tesselated.
