RTX 2070 in 2024 - Is it Still Good for 1440p Gaming?

For 1080p and 1440p gaming, is the RTX 2070 8GB still a good option on the used market? Well, I'd much rather buy one of these than an RTX 3050...

[@spg3331]

never heard anyone talk about the 2070, only the 2060 and 2080 ti. always glad to learn more! great video as always

[@ProYamYamPC]

It's an often overlooked GPU, even the Super model gets more love. I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@LuciusVulpes]

It came out when Nvidia began overpricing their products, so the 2070 was not a good investment from the start. Then the Super model came out at the same price IIRC, so the card just faded into obscurity.

[@Strale972]

Maybe because in a lot of regions it (2070) costs around 220€+, while for 60% of the price you can get 5700xt or 1080 which offer 95% of the performance..

[@HitsuTwistedTalong]

I had my rtx 2070 Super for almost 4 years before I sold it and it was still running the latest games with high fps. I love how it can choose between DLSS and FSR. The buyer loved it and he was so happy.

[@ProYamYamPC]

What did you upgrade to? If you have both options, DLSS is almost always the better option. But DLSS, does help this card, especially at 1440p.

[@HitsuTwistedTalong]

@@ProYamYamPC Yeah, I loved the DLSS too bad Nvidia locks out frame gen to 4000 series only. With new AMD fluid motion frames and FSR3, it can also be used by older Nvidia cards via mods I think. I replaced it with rx 6700xt btw during GPU shortage. First time switching from Nvidia to Radeon and I love it! I like Amd adrenalin software more than Nvidia GeForce. AFMF is so good, 150-200 fps in cyberpunk max settings 1080p and around 100fps in 1440p.

[@bawarmohamed1209]

Great video bro

[@Obie327]

I remember this card very well back when my friend purchased it new. At that time i had my one year old GTX 1080, Running Pass Mark performance test v9 on both identical systems the tests at that time were favoring the Pascal. The conclusion was that the rasterization isn't as strong with Turing , I guess the RTX 2070 soldiers on with proper future driver support. From the looks of the current Tech Power up, The RTX 2070 is now 20 percent ahead of the GTX 1080. The RTX 2070 isn't a bad card if running 1080p. Liking your content ProYamYamPC.

[@ProYamYamPC]

When Turing first dropped, I remember the 1080 Ti being on par with a 2080, so I believe your claims. However, years of driver development, have caused games to massively favour the newer RTX cards. A 1080 Ti will struggle to keep up with a 2060 Super now.

[@SkibidiBuddies]

Coulod you try it on a game called House Flipper its my favorite game and my current pc cannot no longer handle it and i will be getting a RTX 2070 soon so i just wanna know if its a good choice

[@aaldrich1982]

Had a 2070 and it played quake 2 rtx... at 720p. It felt like a use case that it just couldn't match up to. 3070 is a fine card for rtx at 1080p and I can't wait for it to become under £200 all day long as it's a nice gpu.

[@joviannagasaki84]

The 2070 Super would always make more sense, especially now they can be had for peanuts, that little bit more oomph, a newer second hand buy and the last card and therefore most powerful, to support the old 3D monitors and glasses and 3D TVs. Just incase anyone's interested for projects.

[@alexbevan3217]

What about dlss or fsr to help would help in Ray tracing

[@Kissamiess]

Still have mine and it's perfectly adequate for everything else but VR. Can't get decent frames for my HP Reverb G2 without rigorous optimisation and I'm sick of it. That's the only reason I'm looking to upgrade sooner or later.

[@xiologyCNX89]

Still rocking a 2070 super. With DLSS support i not have any problems to play even the newest games on high to ultra settings. Sometimes only Full HD but most of the time in 2K resolution. Parired with a I5 12400 i will use the card at least for 2 years more and then upgrade

[@mattirealm]

I had a 2070 Super for a few years and that was a good card! Now on a 3070 Ti, but I do like how Turing works. They OC pretty damn good and run well. The only real issue is the power usage. The node they are based on was a good one (TSMC 12nm) and I frankly think it was stronger than Ampere's Samsung 8nm. And you can find tests that show 2080 Super's and 2080 Ti's that still do decently with newer games. Good video!

[@wertywerrtyson5529]

I had a 2070 before. Honestly it would probably have been enough but I could help wanting to upgrade.

@@NoLetfTrigger13 Absolutely! I'm still guaranteed to play most modern games and do productivity tasks, too. I'll be skipping the 30-series and jump right on the 40-series.

[@ShinyHelmet]

Depending on your expectations, you absolutely CAN do Ray Tracing on an RTX 2070. I run Control 1080p with medium RT and DLSS Quality and it never goes under 60fps. Looks and runs great.

[@CYWNightmare]

My 2070 wasn't a huge fan of 1440p but it crushed 1080p. RT killed any frames you mightve had though, tbf the same could be said about 4k you didnt get the best of frames.

[@user-tn8fg1hh1u]

I bought my rtx 2070 pre owned in 2019 for 332usd, my main reason for this card purchase was to play 1080p no ray trace and to pwn as many noobs as possible and it did just that, anyway fast forward to 2024 I went from a 9700k to 14700k using a 1440p monitor 170hz I can play 800 player rust 160 plus fps, low settings but all aa maxed, I like a clean sharp image regardless of graphics as that has never helped me frag noobs, I don’t use dlss because if I wanted to burn my eyes out of my head and giving gpu manufactures an excuse to make little improvements in there gpus and a terrible quality image that adds a disgusting eye burning blur I’d use dlss. If I wanted to turn my res to 1280 by 720 i may as well reinstall windows me and play rainbow 6 rogue spear and go back the msn zone and game spy arcade, in saying that i only play pvp games which I need want 100 plus fps and I get that at 1440p in games like squad, hell let loose, cs2, rust dark and darker and cod4, I get bored of single player games because there’s no challenge, so if your a single player gamer who likes over unrealistic shiny textures and vending machines that refracts light and images of your own character off a vending machine, then no this gpu is not for you and I guess luckily for me hogwarts legacy and cyberpunk was a giant snore. Pokemon heart gold goes pretty hard tho.

I bought one at the start of covid crazy for AU$700 and it stood me well until prices on the 3080 dropped from crazy to still crazy AU$1000. But I sold the 2070 Super for $500 so it wasn't that bad an upgrade.

[@ConfusionDistortion]

Back in early 2019 I did a Ryzen 1700 setup and was using a GTX 1080 in it. I had a friend using a FX 8350 with a dual RX 480 4gb combo for Crossfire (I was still using a FX 8350/RX 470 myself as a secondary pc). He was one of those friends that felt like he had to keep up with or surpass what I had for some reason. He got that itch and against my advice to wait, jumped on a Ryzen 2700 and a giant ass space heater RTX 2070 even though I told him prices would be dropping as new stuff was coming in mere months. It was a waste of money for him. All he was doing was playing The Division 1 and 2. He did not even need the upgrade. Then a couple months later they released the new Ryzen 3000 series, and a few months after that, the RTX 2070 Super. Then in March 2020, I did a upgrade to a Ryzen 3600 and MSI RTX 2070 Super Ventus (much smaller and cooler than the EVGA 2070 he got). Was basically my main gaming pc from March 2020 till March 2023 when I did a new build again. It was like a kick in the teeth for him and he stopped trying to keep up with me after that when I do new builds, so to this day he is still using that Ryzen 2700/RTX 2070 setup as his main pc. My Ryzen 3600/RTX 2070 Super is still a secondary gaming pc that I use on a 1080P curved gaming monitor. Still very good for that, but there are games from last year that really hurt that 8gb vram/16gb system ram, the first of which for me was Company of Heroes 3. That game needed more than 8gb of vram and more than 16gb system ram to run maxed out. That's really what I took as a sign that it was time to put that PC into the secondary slot and replace it on my 4k setup with a new build using the Ryzen 5800X with a RX 7900 XT and 32gb system ram.

[@ProYamYamPC]

It's good to have two separate systems. From my testing (at least in the games I've tested), the 8GB of VRAM doesn't seem to be an issue at 1080p just yet. In some games, I do see it becoming an issue soon.

[@Kultz]

There isn’t really any cheap ones from nvidias side tbh. And none make sense since they’re all also 8gb cards which are becoming obsolete nowadays with these unoptimized games lol. But on AMDs side the 6700xt or 6800 are both great options, offering 35% & 70% performance increases for good prices generally, both have a ton of vram to last a good while into the future as well. If you’re buying new the best option would be something like a 4070 super / 7800xt which is still a crap ton of money for a graphics card at the end of the day
