Putting up a picture of the DGX-1, Huang joked it would available for “three thousand easy payments of $19.95.One of the most heated issues plaguing the PC building industry at the moment is the price of graphics cards. Known for his offbeat sense of humor, Huang started the presentation by mentioning that some ordinary gamers had expressed hope that the company would make a version of its $68,000 DGX-1 supercomputer rig somehow cheap enough to be within reach of regular buyers. About the only description of the performance of the new cards that the company gave was that they are up to six times faster at conducting calculations than Nvidia’s prior consumer line. On Monday, Huang showed off a series of demonstrations he said were running on the new RTX cards, but did not offer much in the way of industry standard benchmarks, or comparisons to older cards from his company or cards from competitors like Advanced Micro Devices.

The company made graphics cards for corporate customers based on a prior design called Volta, but it didn’t make mainstream consumer gaming cards with that chip. Last year’s Nvidia consumer graphics cards ran on a chip design called Pascal, now two generations old. Special editions with higher speeds and better cooling features will cost $100 to $200 extra.

Replacing last year’s Titan and GTX cards, three new RTX branded cards will be sold for $500 to $1,000 each. Consumer graphics cards based on Turing will be available for pre-order immediately with deliveries in September and October. On Monday, just a week after Huang announced the Turing design for new corporate server products, the CEO had good news for gamers, too.
