NVIDIA Teases GeForce RTX Turing GPU Ahead Of Next Week's Gamescom Unveil

With this in mind, NVIDIA posted a teaser video for its next-generation GeForce lineup, which is scheduled to be announced next week at Gamescom. Although at first glance the teaser video doesn't seem to provide much insight into the new cards, some eagle-eyed Redditors have laid out the evidence that the first card to be announced will be called the GeForce RTX 2080.

The evidence is spread throughout the video, including these hints:

• Users names RoyTeX and Not_11 are pictured
• The User Not_11 responds to RoyTeX, stating "gimme 20"
• User Mac-20 is shown chatting with Eight Tee
• At the end of the video, the date 20.AUG.2018 is shown, however, the numbers appear in the order 2, 0, 8, 0.

We don't know about you, but that's about as good as it gets with respect to calling out the naming of NVIDIA's newest gaming cards. Previous rumors had pegged the cards to fall under the GeForce GTX 11xx naming scheme, but the major emphasis being on real-time ray tracing support and the immense power of the Turing GPU justifies both the RTX prefix and the jump from 10xx to 20xx.

According to previous leaks, NVIDIA's GeForce RTX rollout schedule should look like this:

• GeForce RTX 2080 on August 30^th
• GeForce RTX 2070/2080+ on September 30^th
• GeForce RTX 2060 on October 30^th
