If current indications are to be believed—those indications being signs and teasers direct from Nvidia itself—the company's next graphics card is called the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080, and it will launch (or at least be officially revealed) on August 20. But there are still a lot of questions, like what will RTX 2080 performance be like, and how much will the RTX 2080 cost? Let's dive in. 

It's been a while since Nvidia introduced its last new graphics architecture for gaming GPUs. That last architecture was Pascal, and it has powered everything from the top-tier GTX 1080 and GTX 1080 Ti to the entry-level GTX 1050 and GT 1030—it's in many of the best graphics cards you can buy right now. The next generation of Nvidia graphics cards is finally approaching, using the Turing architecture. Here's what we know about the Turing, the RTX 2080, what we expect in terms of price, specs, and release date, and the winding path we've traveled between Pascal and Turing.
