This is the day that I've been personally waiting for, for well, a very long time. NVIDIA first changed the GPU game with the release of the GeForce 256 all the way back in 1999, when Quake III Arena was the flagship first-person shooter and PC crusher.

There is a lot going on under the hood of the new Turing GPU, with NVIDIA developing the next-gen GPU in tandem with their Maxwell and Pascal GPUs over the last few years. NVIDIA has been building Turing for over 10 years now, so this isn't some last-minute release or something that will pass. Turing delivers so many new technologies and opens Pandora's Box (in a very, very good way) for the game developers of the world, AI and deep learning markets, and everything in between. The leap between Pascal and Turing is gigantic, and it's really quite magical.
