Everyone’s pretty excited when Nvidia releases a new product – with challenging games and 4K displays more GPU raw power is always welcome. But this time raw GPU power and FPS is not the real story. Read on how to find out how Nvidia’s Turing architecture and the RTX 2000 series is set to bring a huge jump to graphics capabilities.

The RTX 2000 series announcement

At Nvidia’s event at the end of August, the company announced its new range of graphics cards. We’ve speculated on what these would be called, expecting something along the lines of a GTX 2080. It turns out that the cards will be the RTX 2070, RTX 2080 and RTX 2080Ti. But why RTX?

Yes, Nvidia is promising 6X the performance of previous generation graphics cards so you can expect higher frame rates. You also get pretty solid overclocking abilities, up to 11GB of GDDR6 RAM and 4352 CUDA cores per chip. But the real story with the new range lies elsewhere.

Real-time ray tracing

What’s the R in RTX all about? It refers to the amazing ray tracing abilities that are now built into the new range of cards. Ray tracing offers an incredibly real, life-like way of rendering lighting effects and gives scenes a much more cinematic feel. As a result, games simply look much more real-life.

In the past, the computational requirements of real-time ray tracing were simply too difficult to meet. Yes, you could draw amazing single-frame ray-traced images on your PC, but real-time gaming was not an option. The new tech in Nvidia’s can model light in much more details so effects like mirrors are more realistic.

Nvidia cracked the computational power nut by including dedicated ray tracing cores in the new chip. It is a massive advance in graphics tech and will give gamers unprecedented experiences.

Get the card as soon as it’s out

If you weren’t sure whether the 2000-series cards were going to be worth upgrading to the ray-tracing capabilities of the new cards should quickly convince you. Here at gear-up.me we will be the first supplier in the region to offer the cards, and we will make sure you know as soon as stock has landed. We sure can’t wait!
