Nvidia’s new lineup of powerful gaming GPUs, the GeForce RTX 20-series, is now widely available (and they’re on their way to high-end gaming laptops.) At their best (and most expensive), you’ll be able to game in 4K beyond 60 frames per second, and for the games that support it, ray tracing allows for more realistic lighting and reflections.
Updated on 11:25AM ET, January 15th: Nvidia has launched the RTX 2060, so we’ve adjusted some language to fit that in. Naturally, buying advice has changed considerably due to its $349 price point, especially since the GTX 10-series cards haven’t become much more affordable. Also, Nvidia announced that G-Sync support is coming to select FreeSync monitors.
You’ll pay more than ever for the latest...
