RTX 2070

RTX 2070 Specifications

The RTX 2070 is based on the Turing architecture and manufactured using the 12 nm process node. It was launched approximately 6 years, 6 months ago, originally priced at $499. It features 2304 cores, including 36 compute units (SMs), 144 texture mapping units (TMUs), and 64 render output units (ROPs). For ray tracing and AI-accelerated tasks, it also includes 36 dedicated RT cores and 288 Tensor cores, enabling advanced rendering and upscaling features where supported. It has a base clock of 1410 MHz and a boost clock reaching up to 1620 MHz. The RTX 2070 comes equipped with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit bus. Memory runs at 1750 MHz and delivers a total memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s.

This GPU has a low thermal design power (TDP) of 175 W. It is generally compatible with almost all PC cases and is excellent for SFF and compact systems where heat dissipation is a concern.

RTX 2070 Performance

RTX 2070 is an entry-level graphics card with a relative gaming performance score of 26.92%. It performs well at 1080p resolution and can handle 1440p or even 4K with reduced settings or advanced features like DLSS, FSR, and frame generation. Ideal for casual gamers or users who occasionally play games on their work or general-purpose PCs without spending heavily on a GPU.

The gaming performance-per-price ratio of RTX 2070 is 24.6%, indicating lower value in this category. This GPU does not offer high gaming performance and has a low performance-to-price ratio, making it a poor value proposition. There are better alternatives available in this price range.
