GeForce RTX 2060 TU104 vs GeForce GTX 1070

The GeForce RTX 2060 TU104 is the faster card — roughly 3% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1070 on our spec-derived score, and it's the better pick if you're targeting 1080p. The GeForce GTX 1070 still makes sense if it's meaningfully cheaper or you're gaming at a lower resolution. Run your full build through BuildForge to see whether your CPU can actually keep either card fed before you spend.
