The Quadro RTX line of GPUs have just been announced and a teaser for the GeForce RTX 2080 has been revealed.
The new Turing architecture uses 3 different parts: a normal shading processor like Pascal GPUs, RT Core which is used for ray tracing, and a Tensor Core that is used for deep learning. It is the world's first ray trace GPU and they claim it is the biggest leap since CUDA. Ray tracing is a different way of rendering. Currently, all games use rasterization. Ray tracing allows for photo-realistic renderings, global illumination being one of the main things rasterization was not able to produce.
The main push with the new ray tracing GPUs is that it is now possible to create real time photo-realistic renderings which is incredibly useful for content creators such as architecture, animators (like Pixar), designers, etc. which is a $250 billion industry according to Nvidia. The following trailer for the 991 Speedster was shown during the conference and they claim is was being rendered in realtime, not a video, no pre-baked shaders or whatever.
Here's the teaser for the GeForce RTX 2080 which will be revealed on the 20th.
