The 3 blunders of Nvidia’s RTX 2080 video card event

Nvidia kicked off this excruciatingly long week on Monday morning with an event in Germany to debut its upcoming GeForce RTX 20-series graphics cards. The RTX 2070, 2080, and 2080 Ti start rolling out in September, and I can’t stop thinking about the presentation and the less-than-positive reaction to it from some enthusiasts.

I’m excited about the RTX video cards and ray tracing, even though I’m not preordering one. The event had a lot of problems, but I understand why Nvidia chief executive officer Jensen Huang spent so much time trying to sell the audience on ray tracing.
