NVIDIA Announces GeForce RTX 20 Series Graphics Cards – GeForce RTX 2080 For $699 US, $799 US (Founders Edition), The Best Card for Gamers Around the World

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 is the next chapter in high-performance gaming graphics cards. Featuring the latest Turing GPU architecture designed by NVIDIA, the GeForce RTX 2080 will allow gamers to play new VR experiences, games with real-time raytracing and beyond 4K content at improved FPS compared to current generation graphics cards. The GeForce RTX 2080 takes the GeForce platform to the next level with a range of new features aside from performance which we will be detailed completely.

Let's take a trip down the journey to Turing. In 2016, NVIDIA announced their Pascal GPUs which would be featured in their top to bottom GeForce lineup. After the launch of Maxwell, NVIDIA gained a lot of experience in the efficiency department which they put a focus on since their Kepler GPUs. Now, with an enhanced FinFET process available, NVIDIA is taking the efficiency lead beyond where it was previously, is completely unrivaled by the competition. With Volta, NVIDIA focused on the AI and HPC market but most of the features that Volta supported aren’t necessarily needed in the gaming department. That’s where Turing comes in, a GPU designed solely for the consumer segment.

Coming to Turing, the GeForce RTX 2080 is powered by the Turing TU104 GPU. The TU104 GPU is the successor to NVIDIA's GP104 GPU and sticks to the same principles which made the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 great which is to offer gamers the best performance at the highest efficiency rate (perf/watt) and deliver products that are highly competitive in pricing and performance.

GeForce RTX — New Family of Gaming GPUs

The new GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, 2080 and 2070 GPUs are packed with features never before seen in a gaming GPU, including:

New RT Cores to enable real-time ray tracing of objects and environments with physically accurate shadows, reflections, refractions and global illumination.Turing Tensor Cores to perform lightning-fast deep neural network processing.New NGX neural graphics framework integrates AI into the overall graphics pipeline, enabling AI algorithms to perform amazing image enhancement and generation.New Turing shader architecture with Variable Rate Shading allows shaders to focus processing power on areas of rich detail, boosting overall performance.New memory system featuring ultra-fast GDDR6 with over 600GB/s of memory bandwidth for high-speed, high-resolution gaming.NVIDIA NVLink®, a high-speed interconnect that provides higher bandwidth (up to 100 GB/s) and improved scalability for multi-GPU configurations (SLI).Hardware support for USB Type-C™ andVirtualLink™(1), a new open industry standard being developed to meet the power, display and bandwidth demands of next-generation VR headsets through a single USB-C™ connector.New and enhanced technologies to improve the performance of VR applications, including Variable Rate Shading, Multi-View Rendering, and VRWorks Audio.
