Now three new graphics cards show Nvidia at Gamescom in neighboring Germany. All the news is aimed at players and should offer a more realistic rendering of graphic elements in individual titles.
Like the professional Quadro graphic designers, the new cards have been named RTX instead of the original GTX, as they contain so-called RT tracing cores. Thanks to them, the cards will bring major changes to the display of computer graphics, making it much more realistic. RT kernels allow you to calculate accurate shadows, reflections, and lumps of light according to specific materials and the scene itself.
Rim tracking technology, according to Nvidia representatives, has been the biggest jump in graphics cards since 2006, when the first cards with CUDA cores were introduced
"The Nvidia RTX platform and the new 20th series of GeForce RTX graphics cards deliver real-time ray tracking to gaming 10 years earlier than anyone expected," said Tony Tamasi, senior vice president of content and technology at Nvidia. Thanks to artificial intelligence and hardware acceleration of light rays integrated into GeForce RTX graphics cards, the use of these futuristic possibilities is literally around the corner. "
Greater graphics will not offer all games
More realistic graphics, however, will only offer games that will be ready for the new standard. Implementation of RTX technology should not be complicated.
It is already clear that more realistic graphics can be enjoyed by Assetto Corsa Competizione from Kunos Simulazioni / 505 Games, Atomic Heart by Mundfish, Battlefield V by EA / DICE, Remedy Entertainment / 505 Games, Enlisted from Gaijin Entertainment / Darkflow Software, Kingsoft's JX3 Justice, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries from Piranha Games, Exodus Metro from 4A Games, ProjectDH from Nexon's devCAT Studio or Shadow of the Tomb Raider from Square Enix / Eidos-Montreal / Crystal Dynamics / Nixxes .
The new cards are called GeForce RTX 2070, GeForce RTX 2080 and finally GeForce RTX 2080 Ti - ranging from the lowest to the highest. All new cards will run on the Turing graphics cores. These are the same chips that are used in the Quadro professional cards and give tribute to British mathematician Alan Turing.
The price will be higher
The basic GeForce RTX 2070 will offer 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, the GeForce GTX 2080 will have the same amount of memory. Finally, the most powerful GeForce RTX 2080 Ti of 11 GDDR6 memory.
Graphics should be featured on the store shelves by executives from all major manufacturers, so the customized versions will be offered by Asus, MSI, Zotac, Pny or Evga, for example. Sales should begin in the second half of September, with prices ranging from $ 999 to $ 1,500 depending on the model
