The GeForce 20 series is a family of graphics processing units developed by Nvidia. [8] Serving as the successor to the GeForce 10 series, [9] the line started shipping on September 20, 2018, [10] and after several editions, on July 2, 2019, the GeForce RTX Super line of cards was announced.
Nvidia RTX (also known as Nvidia GeForce RTX under the GeForce brand) is a professional visual computing platform created by Nvidia, primarily used in workstations for designing complex large-scale models in architecture and product design, scientific visualization, energy exploration, and film and video production, as well as being used in mainstream PCs for gaming.
Nvidia GeForce 20 series cards, initially released in 2018, implemented a single VirtualLink port in all RTX Founders Edition (FE) cards (2060, 2070, 2080, 2080 Ti). [8] This port was also made available on Quadro RTX cards.
On October 17, 2018, Nvidia released the GeForce RTX 2070 (TU106), which includes full fixed function HEVC Main 4:4:4 12 hardware decoder. On October 19, 2018, Intel officially launched their 9th generation Core CPUs (Coffee Lake Refresh) 9900K, 9700K & 9600K desktop products with full fixed function HEVC Main10 hardware decoding support.
Model – The marketing name for the processor, assigned by Nvidia. Launch – Date of release for the processor. Code name – The internal engineering codename for the processor (typically designated by an NVXY name and later GXY where X is the series number and Y is the schedule of the project for that generation).
In an effort to limit purchases by cryptominers, Nvidia announced in February that the RTX 3060 cards would be able to detect algorithms for mining of the Ethereum cryptocurrency and halve the hash rate. [21] Shortly after release, NVIDIA accidentally released a driver update which disabled the detection. [22]
Turing's development platform is called RTX. RTX ray-tracing features can be accessed using Microsoft's DXR, OptiX, as well using Vulkan extensions (the last one being also available on Linux drivers). [15] It includes access to AI-accelerated features through NGX.
Nvidia NVENC (short for Nvidia Encoder) [1] is a feature in Nvidia graphics cards that performs video encoding, offloading this compute-intensive task from the CPU to a dedicated part of the GPU. It was introduced with the Kepler -based GeForce 600 series in March 2012 (GT 610, GT620 and GT630 is Fermi Architecture).
