NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super Review

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super was NVIDIA's answer to buyers who wanted RTX 2080-class performance without paying 2080 prices, using a cut-down TU104 die that closed most of the gap to its pricier sibling at launch in 2019.

It's a genuinely well-balanced 1440p card from its era, and today, well used, it's one of the more reasonable legacy Turing picks if you specifically want hardware ray tracing on a budget. Just temper expectations: first-gen RT performance is a big step down from RTX 30-series or newer, so treat ray tracing here as a bonus feature, not the main draw.

Performance & Real-World Use

2560 CUDA cores at a 1770MHz boost clock put the 2070 Super within a few percent of the vanilla RTX 2080 in most rasterized titles, making it the better value pick of the two when both are available used at similar prices.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against the RTX 2060 Super also being added to this catalog, the 2070 Super offers meaningfully more CUDA cores and RT/Tensor cores for a step up in both raster and ray tracing performance. Compared to the catalog's RTX 3060 Ti, the newer Ampere card generally wins on ray tracing and DLSS quality despite similar raw rasterization numbers, making it the better buy unless the 2070 Super is significantly cheaper.

Expert rating5.8 / 10

The best-balanced card of the RTX 20 Super refresh; a fine budget legacy pick today but outclassed on RT and upscaling by any RTX 30-series card.

Best for

Budget 1440p used builds wanting some RT capability
Upgraders coming from GTX 10-series
1080p high-refresh esports

Not for

Anyone prioritizing modern DLSS quality or frame generation
4K gaming
New purchases over a similarly-priced RTX 30-series card
