Verdict
Our verdict on the RTX 2070
The RTX 2070 is a solid mid-range Turing card whose real-time ray tracing is too weak to actually use in games.
Get it if you want solid 1440p gaming on a budget and don’t mind buying used. Skip it if you need ray tracing or plan to run modern games at high settings.
Buy it if…
- You want solid 1440p gaming without breaking the bank.
- You're upgrading from a GTX 970 or 1060 and want ray tracing.
- You need a reliable workhorse for VR or a high-refresh 1080p setup.
