What a difference a year makes. In March 2019, I wrote about a GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card that was on sale for $469.99, which at the time was a decent bargain. Now 12 months later, the least expensive model available is this Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070, which is on sale for $379.99 at Newegg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That price is after applying coupon code 4NFJSPC54 at checkout. It knocks $20 off, and with the discount in play, I have not been able find a better deal on a 2070, even when including ones that have a mail-in-rebate attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gigabyte sticks to reference specifications on this model. That means it has a 1,410MHz base clock and 1,620MHz boost clock, with 8GB of GDDR6 memory humming along at 14Gbps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The RTX 2070 hits its stride in 1440p and 1080p gaming, where it should be able to maintain 60fps or higher in most games. 4K is a bit out of its comfort zone, though with DLSS 2.0 now in play, it’s something worth revisiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gigabyte attached its Windforce 2X cooler to this card. I haven’t tested this model specifically, though I have played with several Gigabyte models that used a Windforce cooling solution of one type or another, and have found they strike a good balance between noise and temps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
