NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Benchmark

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070

Released in 2018, the GeForce RTX 2070 is a GPU from NVIDIA. According to our GPU Benchmark, this GPU is a very good card for gaming with a score of 47%.

The GeForce RTX 2070 has 8 GiB of GDDR6 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 437 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 256 bits. When choosing a GPU, plan ahead and select a model with enough memory for your needs. High resolutions such as 4K require significantly more memory than 1080p as there is more data to display on the screen.

In terms of clock speed, the GeForce RTX 2070 GPU core runs at a frequency of 1410 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1620 MHz. A clock speed is the frequency at which the GPU updates. A higher speed means more processing can happen per cycle. This is useful only when comparing cards of the same generation, as other architectures may process more or less per clock.

As for rendering API support, the GeForce RTX 2070 supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 features are supported. Newer APIs are usually more efficient, allowing for better performance in games and better graphical effects.

Power and thermals for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 175 watts. This measures the amount of heat the GPU produces when running at 100%. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
