Thanks to everyone that stopped by the CenterGrid booth at SIGGRAPH! We had a blast meeting all the artists and hanging out with the CenterGrid team. ☺️ If you’re a 3D artist, you should check them out. They’re true experts in what you need from your hardware to make it happen. They’ll also be one of the first to have Zeus GPUs in the cloud! ☁️ #zeus #gpu #rendering #centergrid #siggraph2025

About us
Bolt Graphics is a semiconductor startup building the fastest and most efficient graphics processors. Power consumption continues to rise with minimal performance improvements, resulting in increased cost and negative environmental impact. Hardware hasn’t kept up with consumer expectations, especially in industries like architecture, engineering, film, advertising, gaming, & scientific research. Our customers came to us to solve their two main problems: performance and power consumption. At Bolt Graphics, we constantly ask ourselves, “Why is it done this way?” and “How can we do it better?” This mindset enables our team to achieve orders of magnitude faster renders and simulations and drives our goal for everyone to create, simulate, and consume immersive experiences.

Hello SIGGRAPH! The team made it to Vancouver yesterday and we explored downtown. It’s everyone’s first time here so give us your suggestions on where to eat and what to do when we’re in between sessions and meetups. Remember to come to the CenterGrid booth #511 at 3:00 tomorrow and Wednesday to learn more about our tech and when you’ll be able to use Zeus through CenterGrid. #zeus #siggraph2025 #siggraph #vancouverconventioncenter #vancouver #gpu #rendering #pathtracing #glowstick #blender

We're so excited for SIGGRAPH! Come see us next week at the CenterGrid booth #511 on Tuesday and Wednesday at 3 PM.
Don’t miss the chance to meet the team behind this game-changing GPU tech and ask them how Glowstick, Bolt’s real-time renderer, is rewriting the creative rulebook Darwesh Singh will be at CenterGrid SIGGRAPH Booth #511 on Tuesday and Wednesday at 3 PM.

We’re talking models. 3D models to be exact. There are so many cool things Matt did with this pillar to make it easy to adjust to whatever we want. Our Creative Director from the architecture and design industry made sure to include some entasis to make it more life-like. Entasis is the slight curve along the height of the pillar that increases strength. It also helps combat the optical illusion of pillars appearing skinnier at their middle, especially with strong light like a sunset behind them. 🏛️☀️ Fun example that by adding a curve, it appears straight! You can see examples of entasis all over the world like the Parthenon. Have you seen entasis in any of your local architecture? 🤔 #entasis #boltgraphics #zeus #gpu

Ever ran out of VRAM? If you don’t run out of memory, you’re one lucky individual because you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars buying more GPUs or spend time decimating your work to try to make it fit. We took a different approach in our Zeus GPU. We’re letting you upgrade your memory based on your requirements. So if you don’t need all 384GB right away, you can chill at 128 GB. Or maybe you only need 64GB, we have a card for that, too. We’re making 4 versions of Zeus with different memory capacities. The last 3 digits of our product SKUs are the base memory that GPU comes with. You can expand even further by adding your own DDR5 SODIMMs to our PCIe cards or full size RDIMMs to our 2U server. 1c26-032 up to 160 GB 2c26-064 up to 320 GB 2c26-128 up to 384 GB 4c26-256 (up to 9 TB server form factor only) The film studios, architects, and researchers were especially happy after we shared this design considering one film scene can be hundreds of GB and physics simulations can be TB 🤯 How much memory do you need? Let us know in the comments! #zeus #boltgraphics #gpu #rendering #memory #ddr5 #blender #archviz #vfx #tech #simulation #physics

We've spoken to thousands of customers and users who lament the time they "spend" waiting for their GPU to finish rendering or simulating. They can't see the output of their work until the GPU is done. We estimate waiting for renders in AEC & content creation industries to cost >$1B annually. This is a core reason why we are committed to improving GPU performance.
I wrote a report on the GPU market, covering rendering, gaming, and HPC industries. Some interesting takeaways: - 3+ billion active gamers worldwide - 1+ billion GPUs shipped every year (the majority being smartphones) - 66% of the discrete GPU market has ASPs over $970 And here's the big one: - 25-50% of time and money is spent waiting for GPUs to render or perform simulations - *Over $1B/yr is spent waiting for your GPU to finish its work* - Faster GPUs save time/money - We only measured this $1B/yr number for content creation industries!

I think we could all use a reminder about how talented 3D artists really are. 🎨 We gave Matt the Temple of Zeus in Athens as inspiration and he came back to us with this 🤯 He has even more he created that we’ll share later this week. #zeus #boltgraphics #gpu #rendering #3dart #blender #greece

Come meet some cool people at #SIGGRAPH2025 next month in Vancouver! 📍🗺️ We’re going to be popping in at our new partner CenterGrid’s booth to talk about our new GPU, Zeus, for rendering and simulations. Come show us what you’ve been working on and we’ll get you lined up for real-time path tracing.🎨
🚀 CenterGrid is proud to partner with @BoltGraphics to bring Zeus GPU performance to the cloud, delivering up to 10x faster rendering at 4K 120fps, with 2TB of RAM per GPU. For teams pushing the boundaries of real-time simulation, massive 3D workflows, and global virtual production, Zeus unlocks performance that legacy hardware simply can’t touch. 💡 “Existing hardware simply isn’t built for what today’s creative cloud pipelines demand.” – Chris Beard, COO, CenterGrid 🎬 Heading to SIGGRAPH 2025 in Vancouver? Stop by Booth #511 to meet the Bolt and CenterGrid teams, get a firsthand look at the technology, and see how Zeus is reshaping cloud-based production. 🔗 Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/gk2HQUhS #VirtualStudio #GPUCloud #CloudRendering #CenterGrid #BoltGraphics #ZeusGPU #VFXPipeline #CreativeTech #CloudWorkstations #RenderSpeed #RealtimeRendering #4KRendering

We’re feeling so good about our very first merch drop! 🛍️ We made the CEO jump in the pool to pose for this one. How’d he do? Could he have a side gig as a model? Let us know in the comments 📸 https://lnkd.in/gkMYPxN7

Here at Bolt we don’t just make hardware. We are able to do the “impossible” because we also make the software. We have full control over the hardware and software design which means users get massive performance and efficiency improvements because we know exactly which knobs to turn to get the best result. Not to mention we pick workloads that the world desperately needs. The faster and more intuitive running a simulation can be, the faster users can push the boundaries of design. #simulation #gpu #zeus #boltgraphics #rendering #emsimulation #software #hardware
