=== GeForce 20 series and 16 series === {{Main|GeForce 20 series|GeForce 16 series}} In August 2018, Nvidia announced the GeForce successor to Pascal. The new microarchitecture name was revealed as "[[Turing (microarchitecture)|Turing]]" at the Siggraph 2018 conference.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.anandtech.com/show/13214/nvidia-reveals-next-gen-turing-gpu-architecture|title=NVIDIA Reveals Next-Gen Turing GPU Architecture: NVIDIA Doubles-Down on Ray Tracing, GDDR6, & More|date=2018-08-13|work=Anandtech|access-date=2018-08-13|language=en|archive-date=April 24, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200424020736/https://www.anandtech.com/show/13214/nvidia-reveals-next-gen-turing-gpu-architecture|url-status=live}}</ref> This new GPU microarchitecture is aimed to accelerate the real-time [[Ray tracing (graphics)|ray tracing]] support and AI Inferencing. It features a new Ray Tracing unit (RT Core) which can dedicate processors to the ray tracing in hardware. It supports the [[DirectX Raytracing|DXR]] extension in Microsoft DirectX 12. Nvidia claims the new architecture is up to 6 times faster than the older Pascal architecture.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=https://www.engadget.com/2018/08/14/nvidia-ray-tracing-turing-siggraph/|title=NVIDIA's Turing-powered GPUs are the first ever built for ray tracing|work=Engadget|access-date=2018-08-14|language=en-US|archive-date=August 14, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180814211503/https://www.engadget.com/2018/08/14/nvidia-ray-tracing-turing-siggraph/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/20-series/|title=NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20 Series Graphics Cards|website=NVIDIA|language=en-us|access-date=2019-02-12|archive-date=August 3, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170803191115/http://www.nvidia.com/page/8800_features.html|url-status=live}}</ref> A whole new Tensor core design since [[Volta (microarchitecture)|Volta]] introduces AI deep learning acceleration, which allows the utilisation of DLSS ([[Deep Learning Super Sampling]]), a new form of anti-aliasing that uses AI to provide crisper imagery with less impact on performance.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.legitreviews.com/nvidia-deep-learning-super-sampling-dlss-shown-to-press_207461|title=NVIDIA Deep Learning Super-Sampling (DLSS) Shown To Press|website=www.legitreviews.com|date=August 22, 2018|language=en|access-date=2018-09-14|archive-date=September 14, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180914012412/http://www.legitreviews.com/nvidia-deep-learning-super-sampling-dlss-shown-to-press_207461|url-status=live}}</ref> It also changes its integer execution unit which can execute in parallel with the floating point data path. A new unified cache architecture which doubles its bandwidth compared with previous generations was also announced.<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=https://www.pcper.com/news/General-Tech/NVIDIA-Officially-Announces-Turing-GPU-Architecture-SIGGRAPH-2018|title=NVIDIA Officially Announces Turing GPU Architecture at SIGGRAPH 2018|publisher=PC Perspective|website=www.pcper.com|date=August 13, 2018|language=en|access-date=2018-08-14|archive-date=August 14, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180814155025/https://www.pcper.com/news/General-Tech/NVIDIA-Officially-Announces-Turing-GPU-Architecture-SIGGRAPH-2018|url-status=live}}</ref> The new GPUs were revealed as the Quadro RTX 8000, Quadro RTX 6000 and Quadro RTX 5000. The high end Quadro RTX 8000 features 4,608 CUDA cores and 576 Tensor cores with 48 GB of VRAM.<ref name=":0" /> Later during the [[Gamescom]] press conference, Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang, unveiled the new GeForce RTX series with RTX 2080 Ti, 2080, and 2070 that will use the Turing architecture. The first Turing cards were slated to ship to consumers on September 20, 2018.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/10-years-in-the-making-nvidia-brings-real-time-ray-tracing-to-gamers-with-geforce-rtx|title=10 Years in the Making: NVIDIA Brings Real-Time Ray Tracing to Gamers with GeForce RTX|first=NVIDIA|last=Newsroom|website=NVIDIA Newsroom Newsroom|access-date=February 6, 2019|archive-date=December 12, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181212100231/https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/10-years-in-the-making-nvidia-brings-real-time-ray-tracing-to-gamers-with-geforce-rtx|url-status=live}}</ref> Nvidia announced the RTX 2060 on January 6, 2019, at CES 2019.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-geforce-rtx-2060-is-here-next-gen-gaming-takes-off|title=NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Is Here: Next-Gen Gaming Takes Off|first=NVIDIA|last=Newsroom|website=NVIDIA Newsroom Newsroom|access-date=February 6, 2019|archive-date=January 19, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190119140336/https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-geforce-rtx-2060-is-here-next-gen-gaming-takes-off|url-status=live}}</ref> On July 2, 2019, Nvidia announced the GeForce RTX Super line of cards, a 20 series refresh which comprises higher-spec versions of the RTX 2060, 2070 and 2080. The RTX 2070 and 2080 were discontinued. In February 2019, Nvidia announced the [[GeForce 16 series]]. It is based on the same Turing architecture used in the GeForce 20 series, but disabling the Tensor ([[artificial intelligence|AI]]) and RT ([[Ray tracing (graphics)|ray tracing]]) cores to provide more affordable graphic cards for gamers while still attaining a higher performance compared to respective cards of the previous GeForce generations. Like the RTX Super refresh, Nvidia on October 29, 2019, announced the GTX 1650 Super and 1660 Super cards, which replaced their non-Super counterparts. On June 28, 2022, Nvidia quietly released their GTX 1630 card, which was meant for low-end gamers.
