GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER vs GeForce GTX 1070: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER vs GeForce GTX 1070
The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is significantly faster, around 36% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1070. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1070 is better matched to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER packs 2,176 CUDA cores versus 1,920 on the GeForce GTX 1070.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER starts at $900 AED against $1,288 AED for the GeForce GTX 1070. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER wins on performance-per-dollar by about 95%. The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER still sits about $501 AED above its $399 AED MSRP. The GeForce GTX 1070 still sits about $909 AED above its $379 AED MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce GTX 1070 pulls less power (150W vs 175W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it. Its more modern Turing architecture on a TSMC 12nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
Memory & Bandwidth
The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER's memory is faster — 448 GB/s versus 256 GB/s — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is roughly 3 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1070 (Turing vs Pascal), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1070 or GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER?
The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER 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 GTX 1070 if you find it at a steep discount.
