Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RTX 3070 makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RTX 2070 by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. The RTX 3070 is faster by 50% for 1440p gaming. However, RTX 2070 is still capable of producing more than 60 frames per second. For 1080p games, upgrading from RTX 2070 to RTX 3070 is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is much better for RTX 3070 .

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.

For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Fallout 76, Spider-Man Remastered, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Forza Horizon 4, Overwatch 2 at 61 fps to 81 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 67 fps.

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 RTX 3070 / Core i9-10900K

It is worth noting that the RTX 3070 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RTX 3070 's 8192 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. 4K gaming is joyous on this RTX 3070 , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.
