NVIDIA's newest GRD driver introduces DLSS 4 frame generation support for several popular titles, including Half-Life 2, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, and the much-awaited life sim, inZOI (Cloud Tribe).

Developed by KRAFTON, inZOI is among the top 5 most wishlisted games on Steam.  This upcoming life simulation game allows players to craft personalized narratives by customizing their family, career, and virtual world.  Mimicking real-world dynamics, players can secure jobs, cultivate relationships with NPCs, and build a life for their character.

To elevate the gaming experience, NVIDIA has developed "Intelligent Zoi," leveraging the power of NVIDIA ACE technology.  This innovative feature utilizes a 50 billion parameter Mistral NeMo Minitron small language model.  NVIDIA's unique optimization techniques, accelerated by GeForce RTX GPUs, deliver high-quality AI outputs with minimal latency.

According to NVIDIA, inZOI players can activate the experimental "Intelligent Zoi" feature to transform the city's NPCs into AI-driven autonomous characters with enhanced intelligence. These ACE-powered NPCs demonstrate improved adaptability and intelligent responses based on their individual personalities.  For example, a compassionate AI NPC might assist a lost character with directions or offer food to a hungry stranger. At the end of each day, these NPCs adjust their schedules based on their experiences, creating a more dynamic and immersive gameplay.

Furthermore, players gain insight into the NPCs' thoughts in real-time and can directly influence their behaviors and life goals using free-form text input.  These interactions are managed by the on-device NVIDIA ACE small language model, fostering realistic and engaging interactions within the game world.

KRAFTON is launching an inZOI: Creator Workshop Playtest from March 20th, 8:00 AM to March 28th, 7:59 AM. GeForce RTX owners can enable the "Intelligent Zoi" experimental feature and experience the unique AI-powered gameplay.
