    I have been an avid gamer for around 10 years now and my previous computer, that I built myself, was becoming dated when it comes to performance. So I decided to build a new computer and this was the graphics card that I had done a bunch or research into because of the ever-hyped "Ray Tracing" technology. I have completed my build and been using it for about 2 weeks now. This card has been running amazing. I have been getting exceptional frame rates in GPU intensive games like PUBG, The Witcher, etc. It probably doesn't need to be said, but it also runs the less GPU intensive games amazingly as well. Games such as Fortnite and League of Legends are consistently putting out over 300 FPS! By the way, the card looks amazing if you plan on vertically mounting it! There were only two downsides to this card, and that is the reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 (although I wish I could give it a 4.5/5). This Founders Edition (FE) version of the card is more expensive than other versions of the RTX 2070, so do your research as to whether this is the card for you or not. And, lastly, the card can run pretty hot when under an intense load, so as long as you have a good case with adequate ventilation and a good amount of air circulation in the case you will be fine. Just ensure that you keep an eye on it to ensure a longer life for the card.

    RTX 2070 XPS

    Fits well in XPS Desktop 8930. It does get warm, so needed to add a fan which was simple. Also, required a power supply swap to accommodate the required power. Overall for the size it out performs GTX1080, and I can successfully run AutoCAD to Anthem on ultra settings while still getting 60fps. Anything beyond the RTX 2070 and you'd need a full fledged gaming rig. RTX does well for business and pleasure.

    I absolutely love this card, I definitely won’t be worried about upgrading for years to come that’s for sure! I highly recommend this card, but if your a temperature freak, go with the EVGA or PNY brand!!

    Good FPS for gaming and streaming you need more than 8gb of ram and over a 650w power supply for the best results. Its worth it if you just like raw power then a more affordable GPU for the price.

    I love this GPU! When I looked to see if best buy had it in stock, I had thought I would price match it. Best buy had the cheapest price so I didn't have to! I'm very happy with this 2070 and my games look AMAZING!

    I really like that the power comes out of the side not the front of the card. It does not come with anything to control fan speed so I picked up evga’s software to do this.

    I got this card as a replacement to its competitor that was overheating and shutting down constantly and was brand new also. I eventually got the other card to work great. I have to give props to this video card though, which worked out of the box and continues to work with absolutely no problems. This video card runs cool and quiet and never caused any issues with my system. Games run smooth at 1440p settings. I also like that this short card will fit in just about any system, even ones with size restrictions. The lines are clean and the metal construction is solid. Founders cards have excellent build quality. In their competitor's defense one the drives were updated, and a few tweaks were done to the card settings and fan curves were set more aggressively it ran like a champ, and sorry to say but slightly faster than this Nvidia card. Still, I feel most customers won't want to go through this trouble so I recommend this Nvidia card instead. Still, I would recommend this card to anyone, especially at the special sale price I purchased it at ($450). I know the Super series is out but try getting one at retail price...impossible. This is a solid midrange alternative at the moment. If it's available buy it and if you can get it on sale especially. Availability on many cards is extremely limited so think of this one as a better 2060 super. Good luck with your search!

    I'm upgrading from the 1070 FE card, I ended up going to the 2070 instead of an old 1080 model due to the size of the cards. The 2070 is not as long and fits better in my compact case. I play a number of games ranging from WoW, competitive Rainbow Six Siege, Destiny 2, Fallout 76, Smite while streaming them online. All games I am able to easily play at 1080 resolution at 144hz, while streaming on the same computer with no problems and easily getting over 100 FPS on each, often in the 200's on high graphics settings. When I'm not streaming, I will put these titles up to 2k, at max settings and 144mhz, with FPS remaining over 100fps if not higher One big thing I noticed is the room is not as hot as when I did these things on the 1070, which is a huge bonus. I was able to overclock the card I got by 7.5%. I've been running the card now for a month exactly and highly recommend it. I didn't go to the 2080 as the overall performance difference didn't seem worth the extra $250 so I ended up using that savings and purchase additional gaming equipment that I probably wouldn't have.

    Not a 2080, but a good generational jump

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Nvidia has spoiled gamers in the past. The 970 and 1070 were both such high performers that the -70 level cards were often the ones that most people targetted (including me) because they were better than the best of the last generation and usually either cheaper or the same price. The 2070, at least this early on, isn't quite that update, but it's still faster than the 1080 in most things, though it's not cheaper (though it's not that much more expensive either). Replacing my 1070 with it increased my framerates by about 20fps in most games, which is notable, especially in some of the most recent releases. The card itself is beautifully designed and smaller than previous generation cards. That alone might appeal to those attempting to create a MicroATX gaming PC, as I think this *might* fit in some of those smaller cases. All in all, it's not the leap previous generations have been, but it's still a solid upgrade.

    Good if upgrading from Maxwell or older

    If you're upgrading from a card older than last gen or if you desire a newer card with better than GTX 1080 performance then this is not a bad choice. Also this is probably the only RTX 2070 that comes with a DVI out if you need one for an older monitor. I'm not going to debate the additional features of Turing cards as those are discussed all over the web at great length. The card is at a higher price point than most people like, but unfortunately it is a trend for enthusiast consumer PC parts in general and is just more profound on graphics cards because they are often the most expensive part of ones rig. If you are a owner of a Nvidia Pascal card (GTX 1070ti or better) or a AMD Vega series card you might not find value in this particular Turing based product and wish to hold out for upcoming 7nm based products from both companies.

    I wanted to build a computer for the last few years, and i've finally saved up enough cash to build the machine i've always dreamed of. Originally I was planning on getting a GeForce 1080 Founders Edition, until the RTX cards came out. I knew for my purposes all i would need was the RTX 2070 and let me tell you IT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! An absolute UNIT of a card. Playing Call of Duty on my 4K monitor that is 60hz is amazing, and don't even get me started on Battlefield, the graphics are just outstanding. 10/10 would recommend.

    Have had the card for a week now, runs everything on high/ultra. It does run a bit warmer then my 900 series card but it’s quiet and I’ve had no issues so far. Playing CoD, Destiny 2, PUBG and more with no issues.

    Exceeded My Expectations

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Solid value, worth the price of admission. G-Sync is great. RTX in games like Battlefield V is amazing. Power consumption is way better than expected. Noise is non-existent. Software support is back on track @ Nvidia - It's AMD that has the serious issues now. This card exceeded my expectations and I'm not one to throw down six hundred dollars on a GPU. As a matter of fact, I've never spent more than a 299 in the past nor have I thrown down hard earned money for a 'Reference Card'. But this purchase was worth every penny!

    I am extremley happy with this NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 2070 Founders Edition. I don't have a state of the art PC but this card truly improved my games and at a very high resolution without any issues. It is also very quite; but I'm not an extreme gamer.

    I got this 10%off with my birth day coupon, so even though this is my first time paying this much for a card I believe it is a good deal. I gave 4 stars because it may be my card but it tends to run hot and the 2d image quality does not seem to be on par with the RX580 on my sons PC. other than that the 3d performance is there with all the benchmarks I've thrown at it, way ahead of my previous GTX1070. I don't think many people should have to spend this much for a card.

    I replaced my GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 card with this GeForce RTX 2070 Founders Edition 8GB GDDR6 card. The performance of this card is outstanding compared to my previous graphics card. The increased memory bandwidth and additional cores allow me to play my games on ultra settings with no lapse in system or framerate performance. Lighting effects/reflections that had to be disabled on my old card are simulated excellently with no adverse effect on performance. I did not uninstall my previous card's drivers and just switched them out. The system recognized the card change, defaulted to Windows display drivers, automatically downloaded and installed the correct drivers, and switched over to the RTX 2070 video display drivers. This is great coordination between Microsoft and Nvidia. If you have the money, I highly recommend purchasing this item.

    power gfx card here are the fps benchmarks tht i did with Shadow of tomb raider in 1440p ( hightest settings ) hope it gives ya an idea 2070-68fps but averages around 40fps comparing this to the 1080 gtx 62fps averages around 35fps if anything if u do your research this card is slightly better than the 1080 gtx not by far note fps may defer depending on your cpu

    Great GPU but RTX not ready

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this GPU because i was in need of an upgrade, I had a GTX 1050 ti. I'm really happy with it so far, but for anyone that already has a top tier GTX or AMD card the upgrade is not needed. RTX is not ready to be used efficiently. Honestly the RTX technology won't be ready until the next generation of cards. I say this because while using the RTX, the games take a huge hit on performance. It does make the games look prettier, but expect to play the games 30 fps or even less. I'm still waiting on DLSS to start coming out in games, which I think will really make these new RTX worth buying. Until then tho, buy if you really have the money or in need of a big upgrade like i was.
