Nvidia is working hard to improve the support for its RTX GPUs, with a new demo at GDC 2021 showcasing high-end gaming features like DLSS and ray-traced lighting for the first time on Arm hardware. The demo has Wolfenstein: Youngblood and Nvidia’s “The Bistro” demo running on an RTX 3060 GPU and a MediaTek Kompanio 1200 Arm CPU (MediaTek’s flagship-level chipset slated for a new wave of more powerful Chromebooks).

DLSS, RTX Direct Illumination, RTX Global Illumination, RTX Memory Utility, and Nvidia’s Optix AI-Accelerated Denoiser are among the five RTX technologies that Nvidia claims to have migrated to Arm and Linux.SDKs for tools for Arm with Linux and Chromium are either available now or will be available soon for developers. While it will be some time before you can buy a Chromebook with an Arm processor and an RTX 3080 GPU, today’s announcement is a crucial proof of concept, demonstrating that it is both possible and that Nvidia is interested in building the necessary tools and software.
