The Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 follows in the footsteps of the RTX 2080, a card that first introduced ray tracing to mainstream graphics. And while this implementation has been a mixed bag, to say the least, this next generation will go a long way to cementing the technology in mainstream gaming, alongside next-gen gaming consoles. like the PS5 and Xbox One, which will also use the technology. As such, there is tremendous pressure on Nvidia to increase performance when it comes to ray tracing, but also traditional raster performance, which was not greatly improved by switching from the Pascal 10 series to Turing. 20 series. Today we expect Nvidia to launch this generation with three graphics cards, although it is not set in stone, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 (or 3080 Ti), RTX 3080 and RTX 3070, although the lineup is similar to what Team Green announced at Gamescom 2018.
