Gameworks is a collection of all Nvidia&#8217;s previous work with game developers to integrate their technology into their new titles.<\/p>\n<p>Gameworks consists of previous Nvidia technologies such as Physx and CUDA and includes several new technologies that the company will be offering from today. Gameworks consists of three pillars of technology &#8211; Gameworks Research, Gameworks Library, and Developer tools.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_59421\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/What-Gameworks-is.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59421\" class=\"size-large wp-image-59421\" alt=\"What Gameworks means for developers\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/What-Gameworks-is-600x334.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/What-Gameworks-is-600x334.png 600w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/What-Gameworks-is-267x150.png 267w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/What-Gameworks-is.png 1363w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-59421\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">What Gameworks means for developers<\/p><\/div>\n<p>On research, Nvidia briefly mentioned that their 300 effects and animation developers are situated across the globe in different game studios, offering their expertise to embed technologies such as HBAO (Horizon-Based Ambient Occlusion), Physx, and TXAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing) into games seamlessly.<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia also took the opportunity to speak briefly about Geforce Experience.

Assassin&#8217;s Creed: Black Flag, The Witcher 3, Batman: Arkham Origins and Call of Duty Ghosts.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Star Citizen was one of the indie games on the show and Nvidia had a demo of the gaming running in full details on a UltraHD 4K monitor. Any games on display at the Montreal event were running on a 4K display.<\/p>\n<p>There was also a nod to Bungie who is using a new lighting technology from Nvidia called Optix in their timed console exclusive Destiny.<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia says that Gameworks will be available to interested developers beginning today (18 October 2013) and some elements would be free to implement. Nvidia did not elaborate on what those might be.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More Hardware news:<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/59099-geforce-battlebox-in-sa-cost-of-building-your-own.html\">Geforce Battlebox in SA: cost of building your own<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/59093-nvidia-geforce-gtx-battlebox-to-improve-4k-gaming.html\">Nvidia Geforce GTX Battlebox to improve 4K gaming<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/58866-xi3-piston-console-release-date-revealed.html\">Xi3 Piston console release date, price revealed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/58715-amd-unveils-next-gen-pc-gpu-audio-advances.html\">AMD shows next-gen PC GPU, audio advances<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gameworks unifies old and new Geforce technology together under a new brand. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":208,"featured_media":59420,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[31,9064,9527,2533,9736,5524,3682,649,11524,11523,1525,2420,231,45,11519,11357,11522,11520,11488,11521,6277,1721,71,7355,10740,2155,10739,733,697],"class_list":["post-59415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hardware","tag-active","tag-assassins-creed-black-flag","tag-batman-arkham-origins","tag-bungie","tag-call-of-duty-ghosts","tag-destiny","tag-eidos","tag-epic","tag-gameworks-library","tag-gameworks-research","tag-gearbox","tag-geforce","tag-infinity-ward","tag-nvidia","tag-nvidia-gameworks","tag-nvidia-graphics","tag-nvidia-hbao","tag-nvidia-optix","tag-nvidia-physx","tag-optix","tag-physx","tag-respawn-entertainment","tag-sony","tag-star-citizen","tag-the-way-its-meant-to-be-played","tag-the-witcher-3","tag-twimtbp","tag-ubisoft","tag-valve"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/208"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59415"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59415\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59437,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59415\/revisions\/59437"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
