To be honest, Nvidia RTX hasn’t been doing that well. Nvidia’s stocks dropped 1.4% and cost Nvidia a lot of money after Morgan Stanley called Nvidia’s new gaming GPUs “disappointing.” The Nvidia RTX 2080 performs a little better than the Nvidia GTX 1080TI but costs around $200 more, making it a total flop. Gamers were very excited to see Nvidia RTX as it was rumored that this GPU series would be revelutionary for the gaming market and make 4k gaming mainstream. Although the higher-end models disappointed gamers, the lower-end versions might save RTX.

Nvidia RTX 2070 Specs Price, and Expected Performance

As of now, we already know Nvidia RTX 2070’s specs and price. The RTX 2070 Founders Edition features 2304 Nvidia Cuda Cores, 1710 boost clock, 14 Gbps memory speed, 448 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. The RTX 2070 is going to cost $599. For comparison, the Nvidia GTX 1080 started at $599, and it featured 2560 Cude Cores, 1733 boost clock,10 Gbps memory speed, and 8GB of GDDR5X VRAM.

As you can see, the Nvidia RTX 2070 and GTX 1080 aren’t very far regarding specs and likely not very far in terms of performance. It seems like the Nvidia RTX 2070 is going to be the perfect 1440p card similair to last-gens GTX 1070, but it will cost $599 instead of $449. In benchmarks done by Eurogamer, we can see that the GTX 1080 struggles at 4K but is able to do 1440p, ultra 60+ FPS. With AC Unity running at ultra, 1440p the Nvidia GTX 1080 ran the game at an average of 66.5 FPS. Rise of the Tomb Raider running at very high 4k, the GTX 1080 ran the game at 49.3 FPS. The RTX 2070 will likely run these games a little better than the GTX 1080. The RTX 2070 will probably run games at around 5 FPS more than the GTX 1080.

RTX 2060 Expected Specs, Price, and Performance

As of now, Nvidia hasn’t commented on the lower-end Nvidia GPUs. Right now, Nvidia hasn’t commented on the RTX 2060, but we could make an educated guess. Every Nvidia RTX performs and costs more than the last-gen counterpart in terms of price. The Nvidia RTX 2080 is priced at $799, and the RTX 2070 is priced at $599. The GTX 1070 was originally priced at $449, and the GTX 1080 was initially priced at $699. The Nvidia RTX 2060 will likely cost somewhere around $300 and perform a little better than the GTX 1070. The specs and performance are probably going to be very similair to the GTX 1070.
