NVIDIA brings Studio PC Certification to India in partnership with popular Indian system builders
NVIDIA Studio PCs are tested and validated by NVIDIA before carrying the certification badge
NVIDIA, one of the most valuable companies in the world, has partnered with several system builders or boutique DIY PC builders to bring NVIDIA Studio PCs to India. NVIDIA had unveiled the concept of Studio PCs back in 2019 at COMPUTEX when they first launched the NVIDIA Studio drivers. The concept was centered around NVIDIA Studio Stack which comprises the Studio Drivers on the consumer side of things and Studio SDKs and APIs on the developer side of things. NVIDIA is working with several popular system builders in India such as MVP, Vishal Peripherals, Ant PC, Hitech Computers, Elitehubs, XRIG, etc.The Studio PCs offered by these system builders are tested and validated by NVIDIA before the “GeForce RTX Studio PC” badge can be carried on the machines.
Content creation software such as Adobe, Blender, Autodesk, Da Vinci Resolve have incorporated NVIDIA Studio SDKs and APIs to accelerate workflows when an NVIDIA GPU is detected in a system. Thse workflows include rendering, video editing, vector animation and more. Then there’s also CUDA-X AI which can be used to automate repetitive tasks such as upscaling, colour matching, tagging, etc. Both NVIDIA GeForce drivers as well as Studio Drivers allow for consumers to leverage the acceleration offered by the NVIDIA GPUs in their systems. If a system features the “GeForce RTX Studio PC” sticker on the PC case, then that’s a mark to identify NVIDIA Studio-validated systems.
“We’re collaborating with system builders like MVP, Ant PC, Vishal Peripherals, Hitech Computers, XRIG and Elitehubs to deliver more choices to creators to unleash their creativity,” said Vishal Dhupar, Managing Director, NVIDIA Asia South. “GeForce RTX 40 Series Studio PCs unlock unmatched performance in 3D rendering, video editing, productivity and graphics design. Creators can experience feature-rich RTX accelerations in top creative apps, world-class NVIDIA Studio drivers engineered to provide maximum stability and a suite of exclusive tools that harness the power of RTX for AI-assisted creative workflows.
What is an NVIDIA Studio PC?
Any laptop or desktop that matches the specifications that NVIDIA has laid down can be termed an NVIDIA Studio PC. These are basically high-performance computers aimed at content creators such as artists, designers, and video editors. The bare minimum requirement for PCs to be qualified as a Studio PC is that they have an NVIDIA RTX GPU along with NVIDIA Studio Drivers.
Like all hardware manufacturers do, NVIDIA tests their drivers across a wide spectrum of hardware and software combinations. In the case of Studio Drivers, there’s additional validation for creative software such as Adobe Creative Cloud, Autodesk, Blender, etc. Essentially, NVIDIA Studio Drivers are aimed towards achieving the highest level of reliability for creators so that they can focus on creating content rather than troubleshooting.
The boutique DIY PC builders work with NVIDIA to develop pre-built and custom configurations that consumers can buy to get started on their creative journeys. Here’s a rough list of the specifications required for a PC to be labelled as an NVIDIA Studio PC. These specifications apply to desktops as well as laptops.
- GPU – RTX 30 Series, RTX 40 Series, TITAN RTX or RTX A-Series GPUs
- CPU – 10th Gen Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 5xxx or higher
- Display – OLED or IPS display panel with 100% sRGB, 99% Adobe RGB or 97% DCI-P3
- RAM – 16 GB RAM
- Storage – 512 GB SSD
- Drivers – NVIDIA Studio Drivers
