2020 promises to be a pretty interesting year. Both NVIDIA and AMD will be releasing new graphics cards. From what we know so far, the red team will finally add support to hardware accelerated ray tracing in its upcoming GPUs. However, it appears that NVIDIA may retain its high performance crown.
According to Yuanta Securities Investment Consulting Co, the NVIDIA Ampere will be 50% faster than the Turing architecture at half the power cosumption. Moreover, NVIDIA’s Ampere will adopt 7nm technology.
What this means is that, theoretically, NVIDIA’s new high-end GPUs will be way faster than what is currently on the market. However, it remains to be seen whether these GPUs will be offered at competitive prices.
NVIDIA plans to release its Ampere GPUs at the second half of 2020.
It’s also worth noting that the green team will not host a press conference at CES 2020. On the other hand, AMD will be hosting one on January 6th.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
