Remember the GTX G-Assist April’s Fools joke by NVIDIA? Well, believe it or not, the green team has actually made that joke happen. Project G-Assist is real and it will be using AI to offer players help in games.
Project G-Assist takes voice or text inputs from the player, along with contextual information from the game screen, and runs the data through AI vision models. These models enhance the contextual awareness and app-specific understanding of a large
language model (LLM) linked to a game knowledge database, and then generates a tailored response delivered as text or speech.
NVIDIA partnered with Studio Wildcard to demo the technology with ARK: Survival Ascended. Project G-Assist can help answer questions about creatures, items, lore, objectives, difficult bosses and more. Because Project G-Assist is context-aware, it personalizes its responses to the player’s game session.
In addition, Project G-Assist can configure the player’s gaming system for optimal performance and efficiency. It can provide insights into performance metrics, optimize graphics settings depending on the user’s hardware, apply a safe overclock, and even intelligently reduce power consumption while maintaining a performance target.
Basically, think of it as ChatGPT for games. You can ask for it anything about the game you’re running, and you should be getting valuable information.
It will be interesting to see whether such a tool will support online/competitive games. Will it be able to analyze your opponents’ strategy?

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
