GeForce RTX 2070 vs GeForce GT 1030: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 2070 vs GeForce GT 1030
The GeForce RTX 2070 is dramatically faster, around 1400% ahead of the GeForce GT 1030. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 2070 is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GT 1030 is better matched to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce RTX 2070 packs 2,304 CUDA cores versus 384 on the GeForce GT 1030.
Price & Value
The GeForce GT 1030 currently lists from $9,999 INR, $97,328 INR less than the GeForce RTX 2070 at $107,327 INR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 2070 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 40%. The GeForce GT 1030 still sits about $9,920 INR above its $79 INR MSRP. The GeForce RTX 2070 still sits about $106,828 INR above its $499 INR MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the GeForce GT 1030 is the gentler choice at 30W versus 175W. The GeForce RTX 2070 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 175W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. Its more modern Turing architecture on a TSMC 12nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce RTX 2070 carries 8GB versus 2GB on the GeForce GT 1030. The extra 6GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The GeForce RTX 2070's memory is also faster — 448 GB/s versus 48 GB/s (256-bit vs 64-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: GeForce GT 1030 or GeForce RTX 2070?
The GeForce RTX 2070 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce GT 1030 if you find it at a steep discount.
