RTX 2070 Reddit Verdict: Still Worth It or Time to Move On?

2070 is not much faster than a 1080 but it has rtx and can use dlss.

if u can get it at 499$ seems like decent value actually

A month ago I was going to buy a 1080. The 2070 came out at the same time and where I live it was cheaper. So I got a gigabyte 2070 for £450 which is less than any nice 1080 I saw. I got a card that is marginally better, should get even better with DLSS, and CHEAPER.

The 2070 is still a capable card at 1080p, especially when you don't want everything cranked to ultra. On top of that, DLSS4 quality looks OK at 1080p on some games so you can use that to gain a few extra FPS.

I think calling it entry level 1080p is a bit harsh, I just recently upgraded from the 2070 and it actually ran newer games pretty well. Starfield at 3440x1440 and medium ran pretty well on the card.

I dont see why people wouldn't. It obviously won't have frame gen or do well at path tracing, but it is still a perfectly capable card and still has Dlss!

they are like a 3060 pretty much. I would get one if it is like $200.

Actually the 2070 is the one that makes the most sense from a price to performance ratio.

It's a 1080Ti with less vram. So a decent upgrade, + DLSS 2.

Your 2070 may have some life left in it, believe it or not. Your CPU may be the culprit here. If you can find a 5700X3D or similar to drop into your motherboard, your stutters may disappear.

Well if the 4090 is a 10, the 2070 is literally a 2.7, as it's 27% as fast according to TPU. Decent upgrade over the 1080 and good enough for 1080p and decent 1440p gaming.

2070 super 'from a friend' should be like $100 max. I wouldn't pay over $150 in the current market let alone a friend. For $350 you can get a 3080, for $300 you can get an rx 6800.

No i dont see reason to pay that when the much better arc b580 is $250. 20% better than a 3060.

I've got a 2070 super in an older rig and I still find it to be very capable. And I have a 4090 rig that I normally play on. Awesome gift from your friend.

Your friend is either ignorant or scamming you. 270$ for a 6 year old card short of a 2080ti is unacceptable. The intel b580 is 20$ cheaper and significantly more powerful.

2070 is still great, but getting to be lower end now

I run mine at 1440p low settings. I can get 100+fps in most multi-player games with ease. A little overclock really adds a good bit of performance imo, definitely still capable cards. Even more so if you're only playing 1080p. DLSS Quality is actually quite usable at 1080p.

With dlss, it still can be used for another couple of years, imo. At least until next gen of console released.

2070 was a great card for 1440p and to experiment with ray tracing. But it seems to be at the end of its usable life in terms of RT performance. It will still be good for traditional rasterization at sub-4k for many years.

Assuming you're gaming in 1080p then the 2070 is still very solid and will offer a slight performance boost over the 1080. Plus the 2070 has access to DLSS, so at any given time you will have the option to use DLSS Quality to get a better image or DLSS Performance to boost your fps higher.

I just upgraded to a 5080 from a 2070 super. And i was surprised that the only difference is that i can run 4k really. The 2070 was actually playing a lot of fps games in 1440p. Though playing tarkov again is a different story. But it's a good card.

I still have one and it's been a trooper. I kind of look at it this way - if your current rig will play games at least as well as the current console, then you shouldn't really be locked out of too many games. My system runs Expedition 33 and Street Fighter 6 without missing a beat.

Have no problems running 1440p on RTX 2070 Super with a Ryzen 7 2700X. Recently finished a second ITX build with a 9900K and RTX 5080 as a gaming PC for the LG C4 in the main room. If you are still running a 1440p/1080p monitor it's still a decent card if money is tight.

BF6 actually made me realise I can last another year. Found I was getting consistently 60+ FPS with DLSS Performance alongside my 5900x CPU.

you can find a RTX 3070 for around that price, which wipes the 2070 super. They're literally cheaper than $270 on eBay.

Still using a 2070 super with a 5700x3d, cpu upgrade from a 3700x, pretty much eliminated stutters in my games and boosted performance at least 25-50% in some games. This is all in 1440p. GTA 5 enhanced gets like 80-110fps stable at almost max settings with ray tracing stuff and dlss balanced/performance.

I was in the same boat. I5 6600 from 10 years ago and an Rtx 2070 from 7 years ago. I was struggling on newer AAA games so I upgraded the cpu, motherboard, and ram and holy shit was the i5 6600 holding back the 2070. It was decently fast on the newest AAA games and even managed cyberpunk without too much difficulty.

2070 non super user here. Had it since 2019 as well. Card works wonders. Repasted it last week, because my temps were a bit to the high side (88c) and now with new paste and an undervolt, it is sitting at a chilling 62c. I dont see the point in upgrading, because it does the job, since im gaming at 1080p.

Why wouldn't you? It's still a solid 1440p card with DLSS if you aren't crazy about Ultra settings. There's no reason to upgrade if it does what you want it to.

Still using yes, I only play in 1920 x 1080 as that's what my 24" monitor puts out. I think it'd start to show its age if I started doing 4K but I can play new titles fine.

My fiancée's build has my old 2070 Super and it has no issues playing basically anything. Tested the BF6 beta on it and it's perfectly smooth if you just lower some settings.

If everything is still running well why would you upgrade? Don't listen to any elitist pricks telling you otherwise. Gaming PC components are pretty damn expensive, so if you don't have any need for an upgrade, don't.

2070 is the best budget option for 1080p60 still.

Dude, the 1060 6gb is still a viable option. The rtx 2070 is still really good in 2025. You should be able to play most aaa titles on decent settings with that thing.

If playing in 1080p then you're set for next 3 years at least, maxing out games at 60fps. DLSS is amazing.

A 2070S would be a solid upgrade. I had a 1060, 1070, 1080, 2060S, 2070S, etc and going 1060->2060s was like going to a 1080 and the 2070S was basically a 1080ti. 2060S and 2070S are very good bang for the buck cards, but if you can find a 3070 on the cheap, it's miles faster.

I have a 2070 and it works great. Excellent driver support till this day and DLSS is a must have. I wouldn't get my hopes up enabling Raytracing though, maybe on some titles but most will tank your performance by a lot. I game at 1440p and most games I get 60 fps or more depending on graphics settings.

I also bought it in 2019! And was running it until I just got the 5070. Huge upgrade. But my Gigabyte 2070 Super was going strong. It ran really hot though. The 5070 FE is much cooler/quieter and still shocking to me how much more performance I'm getting.

I am only worried about the VRAM because RE4 needs over 8 GB of VRAM with ray tracing on. The 3060 Ti and 3070 Ti are a no go for me now. RE4 looks crappy with FidelityFX and high resolutions look bad with low texture settings too.

My uncle has one even now. I was actually surprised that this card was hitting 60fps locked in 4k max. I really understood that this card is a good one to buy looking at the prices now.

I have a 2070 super I'd say it's pretty decent if you have the budget, go higher but not a bad card overall.

You probably need to upgrade your whole PC at this point. I went from a 2070S + 12700KF which a 5700x3D is equal with, to a 5070Ti + 12700KF and the 5070Ti is so damn powerful even a CPU like a 12700KF bottlenecks it significantly in 1440p.

It hasn't aged as well compared to say the 1080ti. Ray tracing is barely a tech demo on it at this point. But for 1080p its still going to give you fps.
