We’re proud to announce a game-changing partnership with Bolt Graphics, creators of the revolutionary Zeus GPU — delivering up to 10x faster cloud rendering speeds at 4K 120 fps and an unprecedented 2TB of RAM per GPU.
For the first time at SIGGRAPH, you’ll have the chance to meet the Bolt team in person at our booth. Join us as we dive into the details of this breakthrough GPU architecture — built from the ground up for real-time path tracing, physics simulations, cloud VFX, and high-performance virtual studios — and learn what’s coming next as we integrate Zeus technology into CenterGrid’s Virtual Studio Cloud Workstations.
At the core of this leap forward is Bolt’s free proprietary path tracer, Glowstick, designed to unlock production-grade, cinematic-quality lighting in real time along with a 5,000+ high-quality scanned materials library. By leveraging Zeus GPU’s terabyte-scale memory and ultra-high compute density, Glowstick eliminates traditional rendering bottlenecks, enabling final-quality visuals from the very first frame.
CenterGrid CEO Chris Beard has been outspoken about the rising costs and limitations of traditional GPU infrastructure, and this partnership marks a decisive step toward a new solution.
“Our clients don’t need another incremental upgrade — they need a clean break,” said Chris Beard, CEO of CenterGrid. “Massive 3D scenes, complex simulations, virtual production workflows — existing hardware simply isn’t built for what today’s creative cloud pipelines demand. Bolt’s Zeus GPU rewrites the rulebook. This partnership gives us a disruptive, future-proof path forward, and we’re proud to be part of what comes next for Virtual Studio Cloud Workstations.“
This collaboration positions CenterGrid as one of the first cloud providers investing in next-gen GPU infrastructure, giving artists, studios, and creators unprecedented rendering power, accessible from anywhere on the planet.
