NVIDIA & Microsoft Collaborate to Propel Generative AI Applications, Over 2x Boost With Latest Drivers
NVIDIA and Microsoft have launched a joint effort to enhance Windows 11 apps that use generative artificial intelligence (AI), capitalizing on the current surge of interest in AI. At the Microsoft Build developer conference, the companies unveiled several improvements for Windows 11 PCs and workstations with NVIDIA's RTX GPUs that they claim will satisfy the needs of generative AI.
NVIDIA RTX GPUs feature "Tensor Cores" that aid in running AI-based software such as Adobe Firefly. The advances with the partnership, which include frameworks for optimizing and deploying AI, tools for building AI on Windows PCs, and enhancements to driver speed and efficiency, will enable developers to create the next generation of Windows programs featuring the power of AI.
AI will be the single largest driver of innovation for Windows customers in the coming years. By working in concert with NVIDIA on hardware and software optimizations, we’re equipping developers with a transformative, high-performance, easy-to-deploy experience.

Microsoft and NVIDIA also benefit from Windows' capacity to run the Linux operating system. To recap, Microsoft is working on a helpful feature that will enable users to run Linux on Windows itself. The company has called this "Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)." NVIDIA claims to have been striving to provide "GPU acceleration and support" for the complete AI software stack of the firm within WSL.
NVIDIA has made great strides in improving the performance of its Tensor Cores, making them ideal for AI inferencing. The goal of NVIDIA's driver development is to improve the efficiency of their GPUs with programs like Stable Diffusion.
