Verdict

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080

5.3 / 10 Expert Rating

A historically important card for introducing RT and DLSS, but the weakest implementation of both; buy the Super refresh instead if pricing is close.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU

6.9 / 10 Expert Rating

A capable secondhand 1440p performer, best suited to buyers comfortable with an 8GB VRAM ceiling.
