NVIDIA GeForce GTX Graphics Card Series

The GTX branding first showed up on Nvidia’s GeForce 7800 GTX back in 2005. It was ‘only’ a suffix at the time, but would later move to the front of the product name with the GeForce GTX 280 in 2008. It became the marquee brand for Nvidia up until the RTX 20-series debuted ten years later, but reappeared in 2019 with the budget-oriented GTX 16-series that lacked the extra RTX features like ray tracing and tensor cores.

While no Nvidia Geforce GTX cards still remain on our list of the best graphics cards, they have previously occupied many top spots, with the GTX 1080 being one of the most loved and enduring flagship cards Nvidia ever produced and the GTX 1060 being the most popular card on Steam right up until just two years ago, six years after its release.
