Will rtx 2070 stay good into 2024-2026 at 1440p

[Tralalero Tralala]

Ngl the 2070 is struggling in new games like starfield at 1440p (I’m not hitting my 144hz refresh rate)

If the 40 super cards are bad I might wait all the way till 2026 to upgrade my gpu.

Would this be feasible?

Pretty much need a 3080 or 4070 for many games @ 1440p

144Hz doesn't have anything to do with it though.

FPS is always going to vary and have a range, it's not static.

What Monitor are you using? Something with GSync or FreeSync Premium is very much preferred. Or even better, one with that plus Adaptive Sync built in.

2070 has nvr been a good 1440p card. It's intended for 1080p at best

[Bad 💀 Motha]

2070 and 2070 Ti were OK for 1440p; but not some of the newer more demanding games.
It's in the same boat as the 1080 Ti. Only difference is really is that 2070 would support RT + DLSS. But that doesn't mean much since the RTX 20 series was pretty terrible aside from 2080 Super and Ti

[r.linder]

2070 was only really capable of 60 FPS at 1440p years ago with higher settings, it's better used for 1080p.

[Sigma957]

Just wait for battlemage.

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

Not a chance. With newer games you would want at least RTX 4070 or RX 7800 XT for 1440p.

Lol, many of the 40 series cards are going to struggle in 2024. Instead of punishing your self waiting for Nvidia to stop f-ing around you could just buy an AMD card. I did and the world didn't explode.

[Capt Spack Jarrow]

Anything below a 4070 Ti on Nvidia and a 7800 XT on AMD is not going to keep up and this is due to raw performance of the GPU's, not upscaling tech.

2070 is 8GB so not a 1440P GPU.

The 40 series are good, but they are badly named and even more badly priced. But don't forget, there has been a lot of inflation the 50 series may be even more expensive. We just don't know. Waiting isn't necessarily the right thing to do.

First off, they can't be both good AND poorly named and priced. That makes them bad.

Second, no it wasn't inflation and all you children need to stop spreading such non sense.

Jayztwocents literally sat in a finance call where they specifically laid out their plan to over charge for the 40 cards to make them compete with their over stocked 30 cards instead of replace them.

They literally did similar things with both the 20 and 30 cards and they told AIBs they couldn't send GPUs back and if the AIBs didn't eat the losses they wouldn't get the next GPUs on release.

This is why EVGA left the GPU market. Stop buying in everything Nvidia spoon feeds you.

Well, it looks like I need to spell it out.

To quote a famous saying "There is no such thing as a bad product, only a bad price".

And the relevance of that is, provided, in the case of the 40 series, that you ignore the naming and buy on technical merit and you can get it at the right price, then go for it.

We don't know why NVIDIA chose to pitch their prices so high, and it's ridiculous to suppose we can read their minds. Equally, we don't know what they will do next time. The point is that it's not very intelligent to assume prices will drop. So far, NVIDIA have shown very little indication that they are about to change their policy - whatever it is.

The vram will be an issue, but even then it's not fast enough of a card to really benefit from a higher capacity.

[It's Chase]

No. You really want a 4080 or 4090.

Starfield uses 4g VRAM at maximum settings homie. How the heck are you struggling? Starfield only cares about what SSD you have. Starfield doesn't care about CPU or GPU. Like wut?!

Rtx 2070 should blow right through starfield. My Rx 6700 easily plays it on maximum settings 1440p. Even my laptop from 2018 plays starfield at 30 fps.

I do know that if you change your graphics settings around your performance can be worse because you're supposed to create a save file if you change your settings or that game bugs out in performance. Maybe that's what's happening to you is you change your settings and now you have bug. You need to make a hard save after changing settings (for whatever reason, who knows?).

[De Hollandse Ezel]

no.
it already is no longer suited for 1440 right now.

-> commonly anything below 60fps is considered 'can not run it" while anything under 100fps is considered "less than optimal"

an 2070 at this moment can run 1440p in ultra at around 50 fps
which is already to low to consider.

at 1080p ultra it runs at around 70 fps.. which is still playable.. but less than ideal.

so an 2070 is a card that is still usuable for 1080p but barely.
it is already no longer suited for 1440p

ofcourse if you are willing to set settings to medium, things do improve
at medium an 2070 does about 120fps at 1080p.. and just shy of 100 at 1440p


to run 1440p in ultra at 100fps+
you need an 4070 (or better)
or an 3080 (or better)

to run 1440p ultra at 60fps+
you need an
4060 or better
3060ti or better
2080 or better
