This year will be the tenth anniversary of the GeForce GTX 10-series, and since then Nvidia's gaming GPUs have undergone some fundamental changes to bring ray tracing and AI to the PC gaming masses. While compute performance, cache levels, and VRAM bandwidth are still key to getting high frame rates in games, today's GeForce graphics cards are far more versatile, capable, and complex than those from 2016.
But what of the future? What will Nvidia's next generation of gaming GPUs look like? With the chance of a Super refresh of Blackwell chips looking increasingly less likely, due to supply pressures on affordable VRAM, I've been spending some time mulling over what's next for Team Green.
To that end, I've looked back over 10 years' worth of GeForce cards, collated all the key information, and compared four tiers of models: 60-class, 70-class, 80-class, and the one at the very top of the chain. The latter is currently the 90-class, but with the GTX 10-series and RTX 20-series, it was known as the Titan.
I've got a few charts for you to peruse, and I'll discuss what each one can potentially tell us about the future. And then from all of this, a table of specs for the four primary ...
