Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080

Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 2080 Founders Edition is a bit faster than the existing GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, but at a $100-higher price. As the Turing architecture’s RT and Tensor cores are utilized by game developers, the RTX 2080 is expected to perform even better. For now, though, gamers with high-end graphics in their existing PCs will find this more of a side-grade than an upgrade.

It doesn't reach the heights of the RTX 2080 Ti, but Nvidia’s high-end Turing RTX GPU comes damn close to achieving 4K 60fps gaming for a mildly steep price.
