The number of GeForce-certified iCafes in operation has reached more than 600, exceeding the forecast by 20 percent in less than a year.

One of the latest is MCT Esports, a newly-minted Platinum-certified iCafe in Cambodia, which joins recently opened iCafes across Australia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

First launched in 2015, the certification programme helps iCafe owners deliver the ultimate gaming experience to customers with the most advanced GeForce platform.

Following the launch of the new GeForce RTX 20-series GPUs, LHH of Taiwan has become the first iCafe to fully convert to the GeForce RTX with more than 200 RTX-enabled PCs. Powered by the new NVIDIA Turing GPU architecture and the revolutionary NVIDIA RTX platform, RTX graphics cards bring together real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence and programmable shading – enabling a whole new gaming experience.

In addition to LHH, more than 45 GeForce-certified iCafes in Australia, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam have added the latest GeForce RTX GPUs to their armoury.

“The stunning growth of the number of GeForce-certified iCafes is a reflection of the vibrancy of the gaming community in Asia,” said Raymond Teh, vice president of sales and marketing for APAC at NVIDIA. “With our game-changing Turing-based RTX GPUs, gamers are able to enjoy games in ways never before seen.”
