Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Review: The Digital Foundry Verdict

8+6pin was also a configuration for MSI 1070 (i got one) so it seems that it continued the same tradition in MSI design is all.

2021, the 2070 is def a step up from the 1080 and with dlss compares outperforms the 1080ti

After RTX 3070 this looks like shit card

Hey, does anybody know what kind of model my rtx 2070 is. Its turquoise and metal and has 1 fan. If someone finds out, tell me

gtx 1080ti --$1,100+ rtx2070 super--$550 rtx2070----$399.99 rtx2060super--$450 which one you think i bought?

I used GPUz and it can't even find my brand of card.I don't want to open it because it is an Alienware aurora.

Power of 2070 will run a next gen games on 30-45 FPS.

Been playing Metro Exodus firstly on my Asus ROG 1070 Strix which struggled even on high settings in some areas. Although looking good, I then got hold of a 2070 RTX swapping my 1070 and paying £120 and I will say even with ray tracing on, I can play on ultra settings @1080p getting 60fps solid. It looks hugely better than my old 1070, better textures, better FOV and colour. IMO the 2070 RTX is an absolutely awesome card, that I would gladly recommend to anyone.

Don´t want my 1080 anymore, want a 1080 ti, want that 20-25 fps boost!

msi is great just bad after sale service

RTX2060 = GTX1080 in most tests
RTX2070 >/= in overall score slightly better that GTX1080 ...WTF? (bonus 2 gigs of Vram and lil bit more RT-Cores)
So conclusion is RTX2070 is almost pointless upgrade? (makes sense only if you build new system)
But with RTX2060 may suffer performance in 1440P due to 6 gigs of Vram
RTX2060 for now, or RTX2080 for futureproof. I'am right?

ah, will you all please shut up! ...i just ordered a 2070...

I payed $1,000 for a prebuilt CLX set with the RTX 2070 and Ryzn 7 2700 as it's main features

I currently have a 1080 and the game I play the most is skyrim. Normally a 1080 would be enought to run skyrim at max settings but my skyrim is so modded that I get an average of 50fps and about 30fps around riverwood and fifteen in skyrim :v
Bought the 2070 this week and cant wait to put it in my pc

Horrific assault on the GPU resources coughCRYSIScough, got to be the slogan for the AnvilNext game engine, brilliant.

So I am using GTX 970. I just bought a 4K Monitor and I want to upgrade my GPU. Everyone says that RTX 2070 doesn’t worth it. What do you suggest?

NGREEDIA the way it was meant to be paid!

60-90 days of many buy used 1080/ti recommendations... when everyone has the same idea it loses its value proposition rather quickly...maybe if you hunt day and night you might get lucky but most 1080s used asking higher than new 2070 even @ 100$ cdn less I’d happily pay $100 for 3 year warranty thanks

i got the Zotac RTX2070 8G AMP in replacement for my old and still good gtx 970. im happy with the 2070

Do not buy any RTX card, they are all failing!!! Google that schmidt

happy with 970 thank you no real difference for the grand price we going to pay

can you guys still do 1080p to 4k benchmark videos? really miss that.

This card is absolutely incredible. Granted, i'm upgrading from a 1060, but the difference is night and day

I see a lot of people saying don't upgrade to the 2070, but what if this is my first build, and the 1080ti is far more expensive than the 2070.

How do you think DLSS will look compared to a custom res of around 1800p? Cause it looks like it would perform about the same..

Just bought RTX 2070 FE! FTW

Why do these little pieces of plastic and solder metal cost 600 bucks?

Gtx 1080 is about 600 € in Germany . The rtx2070 starts at 530€ .. sooo its a no brainer

is the Vega64 worth getting over the RTX 2070, build a pc on PCSpecialist, they dont have 1080 or 1080ti so ive pretty much got the rtx cards or amd

So the 1080 Ti is better than the 2070?

Why do i have a feeling that next gen graphics isn't going improve much unlike the jump ps2 to ps3 era even the ps4 jump was not that much.

Thanks for this exellent video 🤙

i picked up a 2070 on black friday for 450 lmao

So question: Is it a serious upgrade on my 1070ti?

Oof just bought one

Last gen, it was said the 1070 was recommended for 1440p & 1080 for 4k. Now here we are years later, and the new, even MORE EXPENSIVE cards come with the same recommendations. RTX 2070 for 1440p, and RTX 2080 & 2080ti for 4k....

And I'm expected to pay hundreds of dollars more for these cards that don't guarantee 4k @ 60 fps across the board? Fuck that.

It's really disappointing that you celebrate the "performance gains" of DLSS without actually taking the time to investigate the technology.

There's nothing particularly new about achieving playable framerates by lowering the render resolution and adding a blur filter.

RTX = not worth it.

Thats weird a 2070 is priced the same as a used 1080ti which is around $600

Oh, god I hate it every time he brings up Assassins Creed Unity

They should have made the 2070 the same power as the 2080+ but without the Ray Tracing hardware

I have this card, its performance has been great, except for black ops (game bugs). Your review taught me a lot about it, and helped me realize it is better than I believe. My views were twisted by black ops performance. Hopefully more games take advantage

I like how you guys tested the Founder's Edition (pre-overclocked, 100$ more), yet made zero mentions of it, as if this is somehow the base model,cause that's how you treated it like.

I would not mind having this beast

Great gaming GPU.

I can't help myself but to think this video was paid by Nvidia. I don't know anyone around me that has upgraded to rtx series. I think they don't sell as well as GTX 10 series did. Not counting the miners.

That many different engines and variables that benchmarking is becoming a useless reference.

I wonder why Devs still use dx11. I wonder why we are two months in without any RTX games. I wonder why an avg. gamer needs more than a 200 buck CPU. I wonder about many things.


I think no one can argue about the great performance RTX is offering. Do we need it now? Can we put it to use? No unless you have, a) money to literally throw away, b) are obsessed with the illusion of "bragging rights". That being said, i am not saying these should not exist because we can't use them now (or for the near future), i am just saying that to me me it feels there an underlying reason NVIDIA went this way instead of being more (average) consumer friendly. They know it, we can only assume.


Either way, i know personally i won't be supporting them anytime soon. Also, i have a personal preference on companies that are Open Source friendly with their products.
