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.[11]
The 20 series marked the introduction of Nvidia's Turing microarchitecture, and the first generation of RTX cards,[12] the first in the industry to implement realtime hardware ray tracing in a consumer product.[13] In a departure from Nvidia's usual strategy, the 20 series has no entry level range, leaving it to the 16 series to cover this segment of the market.[14]
These cards are succeeded by the GeForce 30 series, powered by the Ampere microarchitecture, which first launched in 2020.[15]
