While the embargo for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX2070 lifts tomorrow, HardOCP was able to get its hands on a third-party model and released the first gaming benchmarks for it. HardOCP has not signed up any NDA so it was able to publish its article before the NDA gets lifted, and according to the results the RTX2070 is about 15% faster than the GTX1080.
HardOCP has tested 8 games and these are: Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Far Cry 5, Wolfenstein 2, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Mass Effect Andromeda, Gears of War 4, Deus Ex Mankind Divided and Battlefield 1.
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the RTX2070 was 16% faster than the GTX1080, whereas in Kingdom Come Deliverance it was 13% faster. The RTX2070, however, performed terribly in Far Cry 5 as it was only 4% and 7% faster than the GTX1080 in 1440p and in 4K, respectively. Similarly, in the two Frostbite-powered games the performance boost was below 10%.
Still, and for the most part, the RTX2070 is around 15% faster than the GTX1080, and is unquestionably faster than AMD’s current high-end GPU, the Radeon RX Vega 64.
Below you can find some of the benchmarks, though we strongly suggest heading over at HardOCP and reading the entire article!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
