Our Verdict: At 1440p, GTX 1060 6GB can hit 50-60 frames per second on pretty much everything at ultra, just without antialiasing, less ambient occlusion and turned down shadows. Whereas RTX 2070 can hit 50-60 frames per second at maximum settings. The RTX 2070 is faster by 84% for 1440p gaming. For 1080p games, upgrading from GTX 1060 6GB to RTX 2070 is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second. In addition, taking into account the huge price difference between the two, the GTX 1060 6GB is a winner. The price/performance ratio is much better for GTX 1060 6GB .

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070

The RTX 2080 might be the high-end flagship of the latest Turing set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most mid-range PC gamers. On the other hand, the RTX 2070 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 499. The good news is, with the release of the RTX 2070 SUPER, the RTX 2070 's price is getting more discount.

NVIDIA ’s xx70 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Turing graphics card inside the RTX 2070, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. The RTX 2070 is much more expensive than the GTX 1070 as it costs a whopping $ 499. Compare this to the GTX 1070, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, which came originally at a price of $ 399, $ 409. Meanwhile, the AMD closest equivalent card is the RX 5700 XT which costs $ 399.

Spec for spec, this RTX 2070 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 1070, by boasting 29.1 % more fps. In our synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 2070 blows past the GTX 1070, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti and, amazingly, even the GTX 1080 as well.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 2070 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 1070, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti and it really justifies an upgrade. Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 5700 XT, the RTX 2070 was -1.6 % slower.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Assassin's Creed Odyssey, A Plague Tale: Requiem, Dead Space, God of War, Metro Exodus at 65 fps to 67 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 66 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Battlefield 2042, Baldur's Gate 3, Armored Core VI, Anthem, Watch Dogs: Legion at 63 fps to 68 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 65 fps.

NVIDIA ’s xx60 cards have always been defined by entry-level prices with performance that knocks on the door of mid-range graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Pascal graphics card inside the GTX 1060 6GB, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.

RTX 2070 vs GTX 1060 6GB with i7-8700K vs i7-6700K at 4K and ultra vs ultra settings

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 / i7-8700K

With some tuning, the RTX 2070 makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. In terms of memory, the RTX 2070 's 8192 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. In short the performance is exceptional, there's no question that this is one of the most powerful single GPU out there in 2025 .

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB / i7-6700K

At 1440p, GTX 1060 6GB can hit 50-60 fps on pretty much everything at ultra, just without antialiasing, less ambient occlusion and turned down shadows. It is clear that the GTX 1060 6GB is a significantly more capable high-end card that can play AAA titles at 1080p/1440p with 50-60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is excellent for GTX 1060 6GB against the competition in budget mid-range cards. In terms of memory, the GTX 1060 6GB 's 6144 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks.
