Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti, 2080 and 2070. The GPUs were revealed at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany. The cards are based on the company’s brand-new Turing architecture, initially announced last week.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Founders Edition sell for $799 and the 2080 Ti Founders Edition will cost $1,199. Both are available for pre-order now and will ship Sept. 20.
The GeForce RTX 2070 will cost $599.99, but that card will ship in October. Huang said that the RTX 2070 will outperform the Titan Xp.
The RTX moniker is a nod to the ray tracing capabilities of the new cards. The new cards also pack artificial intelligence and programmable shading. Huang began the GeForce announcement by describing ray tracing and how light, shadow and reflection are the “holy grail” of graphics. Nvidia’s RTX technology combines rasterization and ray tracing to render images. The cards feature dual-fans, which is new for Nvidia’s Founders Edition line.
