What reviewers say

Reviewers find strong 1440p and useful 4K performance, but only a small improvement over the original RTX 2080 and little reason for its owners to upgrade. PC Gamer favours cheaper cards for most systems; PCWorld similarly finds the RTX 2070 SUPER better value, while considering the extra performance useful for less compromised 4K gaming.
