Nvidia RTX 2000 GPU Series
At the event, the company has unveiled the RTX 2070, RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti. The company promised that this latest GPU will easily outperform the previous generation, not only that it will give out up to 6X performance than its predecessors and have real-time ray tracing, which is a rendering technique resulting in real-time light reflections and cinematic effects that can make games look a lot more like movies.
The company says the RTX 2080 is designed for overclocking and the RTX 2070 will offer more performance (for ray tracing) than the Titax XP card. The RTX 2080 Ti is the flagship, clocked at 1350MHz with 4352 CUDA cores and 11GB of GDDR6 RAM (full specs here), while the regular RTX 2080 will be clocked at 1515MHz with 2944 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6 RAM (full specs here).

Nvidia is working with Microsoft to push ray-tracing, thanks to the company’s new DirectX Raytracing (DXR) API in Windows 10 to complement Nvidia’s RTX work.
