GeForce RTX 2070 vs GeForce RTX 2060: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 2070 vs GeForce RTX 2060
The GeForce RTX 2070 is significantly faster, around 20% ahead of the GeForce RTX 2060. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p. The GeForce RTX 2070 packs 2,304 CUDA cores versus 1,920 on the GeForce RTX 2060. The GeForce RTX 2070 also has more RT cores (36 vs 30) and more AI cores (288 vs 240), strengthening its ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce RTX 2060 starts at $284 GBP against $549 GBP for the GeForce RTX 2070. Despite being slower, the GeForce RTX 2060 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~61% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce RTX 2060 is trading below its $349 GBP MSRP — a genuine deal.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce RTX 2060 pulls less power (160W vs 175W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 2070 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 8GB against 6GB, the GeForce RTX 2070 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce RTX 2060's 6GB can fall short. The GeForce RTX 2070's memory is also faster — 448 GB/s versus 336 GB/s (256-bit vs 192-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 2060 or GeForce RTX 2070?
Choose the GeForce RTX 2070 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce RTX 2060 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
