NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070
NVIDIA's mid-tier Turing launch card from October 2018, pairing 2,304 CUDA cores and 36 RT cores with 8GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus. At $499 it landed between the GTX 1080 and GTX 1080 Ti while adding hardware ray tracing and DLSS.
Pros
- 8GB of GDDR6 delivering 448GB/s of bandwidth on a 256-bit bus
- 36 RT cores and 288 Tensor cores enable ray tracing and DLSS
- Outperforms the previous-generation GTX 1080 in raster workloads
- 175W TDP runs off a single 8-pin power connector
Cons
- No NVLink support, unlike the RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti
- Few games supported ray tracing at launch
- Superseded within a year by the similarly priced, faster RTX 2070 Super
