The GeForce RTX 20 series is a family of graphics processing units developed by Nvidia. The line started shipping on September 20, 2018, and after several editions, on July 2, 2019, the GeForce RTX Super line of cards was announced.
The 20 series marked the introduction of Nvidia's Turing microarchitecture, and the first generation of RTX cards, the first in the industry to implement hardware-enabled real-time ray tracing in a consumer product. In a departure from Nvidia's usual strategy, the 20 series has no entry-level range, leaving it to the GTX 16 series to cover this segment of the market.
These cards are succeeded by the GeForce RTX 30 series, powered by the Ampere microarchitecture, which first launched in 2020.
