Verdict
GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 2070 Gaming Box
6.5 / 10 Expert Rating
Solid Turing-era performance in a tidy fixed package, though the premium over a bare enclosure plus card was steep even at launch.
PowerColor Gaming Station
6 / 10 Expert Rating
Competent Thunderbolt 3 box from a GPU maker, but discontinued and outpaced by newer standards.
