Our Verdict: Upgrading from RTX 2070 Max-Q to GTX 1070 Mobile is not recommended as it is less than 30% of improvement in performance. In general, a reasonable upgrade is between 30% and 50% or more to justify the purchase of new hardware. The price/performance ratio is much better for GTX 1070 Mobile .

RTX 2070 Max-Q vs GTX 1070 Mobile with i7-8700K vs i7-6700K at 4K and ultra vs ultra settings

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q / i7-8700K

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RTX 2070 Max-Q is simply ridiculous. At 1440p, RTX 2070 Max-Q can hit 50-60 fps on pretty much everything at ultra, just without antialiasing, less ambient occlusion and turned down shadows. In terms of memory, the RTX 2070 Max-Q 's 8192 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks.
