NVIDIA today launched the G-Assist project within the NVIDIA application. It will help players optimize game and system settings, measure frame rates and even change lighting on connected devices.
The app was originally an April 1 play presented in 2017. Last year, during Computex 2024, Nvidia presented a demonstration of technology. NVIDIA has now launched the Functional AI Wizard for RTX GPU owners.
At the time, the company presented GPU adjustments in real time and adjustments to the game settings, all talking to the PC by text or audio.

G-Assist uses a small local language model that requires almost 10 GB of space for assistant functions and voice resources. The AI wizard works in a variety of 30, 40 and 50 series desktop GPUS, but users will need a plate with at least 12 GB of Vram.
As it does not work by accessing the internet, all searches need to be already in the application database. Despite limitation, this also increases reliability and users can use the unconnected app.
At the moment, It is available as an optional part of an NVIDIA application update that also includes new DLSS replacement options and the ability to adjust the screen scale and the color settings.
Functionality
G-Assist acts as an AI assistant through voice or text prompts. The user can ask questions such as “How does DLSS frame generation work?” and the assistant will provide a similar output to ChatgPT.
It can also optimize games for the best performance or image quality, or make it control the lighting of Logitech, Corsair, MSI and Nanoleaf devices.
Users can also ask G-Assist to analyze and optimize the entire PC so that it detects if a game has a frame rate limiter, whether your GPU’s performance is limited and what can be done to improve overall performance.
With the app, users may even detect whether update rates are not at most on a screen, seeing recommendations such as overclocking a GPU or reduction of resolutions in the game to reach the desired frame rate.
In addition to all this, users can ask for gameplay tips.
Users and developers
Clearly that most of the AI makeups can be made manually. With G-Assist, Nvidia’s PC Apis and Third Party can be used with a button click. The G-Assist menu can be opened by pressing Alt+G, from which the user you can write a prompt or simply talk and insert the prompt using audio.
Nvidia’s G-Assist project is built using NVIDIA ACE and NIM microservices. Therefore, he is totally open to ISVS and the community for later expansion. Developers can also send plugins directly to NVIDIA for analysis and possible inclusion, so that they are available to a larger audience.
Nvidia has published instructions on its Github repository, allowing ISVS, developers, and users to generate G-Assist plugins using a chatgpt-style plugin builder.
Support and availability
How G-Assist is designed to be executed locally on RTX hardware, It has a small impact on performance. The GPU will allocate a small amount of its power, especially to feed the AI inference.
In other words, running G-Assist during a match will result in a performance drop in a few seconds.
The Nvidia Project G-Assist feature will be available at GPUs GeForce RTX Series 30, 40 and 50 with over 12 GB. It is compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems and has nominal CPU requirements.
It takes 6.5 GB of space for the system assistant, while voice commands will have another 3 GB. As for the driver version, G-Assist will only work with GeForce 572.83 or superior GRD. At launch, it will offer support only to the English language.
Also, for now, the NVIDIA Project G-Assist will be available only with desktop CPUS, but GeForce RTX laptop support will also come in a future update.
