Nvidia announced in its official Twitter account that a special "GeForce RTX: Game On" virtual event on January 12 at 9AM Pacific Standard Time.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic that has limited the movement of numerous events, Nvidia will transmit the event through the company's official YouTube and Twitch channels.

Nvidia did not actually detail what it is revealing on January 12 or how long the event will be. But if fans look closely at nine-second-long video, you can get a vague idea of Nvidia's itinerary for that date, as seen on the video on the Twitter account.

The first image of the gaming laptop references the chipmaker's mobile GeForce RTX 30-series graphics cards, also called Ampere. There have been a couple of retailer listings and reasonable specifications of mobile Ampere, so it is possible that Nvidia will announce its lineup very soon.

The second image from the clip shows the artwork from Outriders. Outriders is an upcoming co-op shooter from People Can Fly which is the same team behind "Bulletstorm" and "Gears of War: Judgement". It is not known if Nvidia partook in the development of the games, but its inclusion in Nvidia's teaser video shows that it might use some of the technology of Nvidia.

Just shortly after showing Outriders artwork, a flash of the GeForce RTX logo can be seen. Nvidia may be hinting at the announcement of a desktop Ampere-based graphics card, as seen on the comments on Reddit.

There have been speculations that the chipmaker would introduce the GeForce RTX 3060 at the much-awaited CES 2021. The early leaks showed that the graphics card will come with a 12GB and 6GB configuration, while the first is the rumored variant that is launching in January.

Nvidia ended the video with an illusion of what seems to be the company's take on the Resizable BAR or Base Address Register technology.

Since the release of AMD's Smart Access Memory, the Radeon team has worked with Nvidia and Intel to bring the same goodness to Nvidia's graphics cards and Intel platform.

Ampere-based graphics card support Resizable BAR and only requires a bit of software update to get the feature up and running. If Nvidia references it in the nine-minute video, it could mean that its rendition of Resizable BAR is ready to go for primetime.

Nvidia GeForce RTX

Nvidia had been busy marketing its sought after GeForce RTX 3080, a graphics card that gamers are looking for. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 is based on the new Ampere graphics architecture, which then brings massive improvements to both the raw performance and power efficiency.

The fact that the chipmaker has increased the power budget on their recent graphics cards to boost power efficiency shows the company is dedicated to improve the performance profile of its products, according to TechRadar.

Before CES 2021, users of the GeForce RTX has noted the improvements to the RT and Tensor cores, as well as the rasterization engine. This could signal the chipmaker gearing up for better products with better performances.

Since Nvidia has not made any official statement yet about their itinerary, fans of their products will just have to wait and see what they have instore.
