Steve from Hardware Unboxed, seen above cosplaying a high-school guidance counselor, has tested the RTX 4070 against the RTX 2070 with some eye opening results. While the 4070 has most often been tested against the 3070, the 2070 was an incredibly popular card when it was released nearly five years ago (!?!) at $599 for the FE model. A lot of users are considering an upgrade. As it turns out, the new Nvidia card provides a rather substantial update. However, this isn’t all due to the improvement in rendering performance.
Hardware Unboxed discovered instances of the 8GB of VRAM on the RTX 2070 crippling it in modern games with ray tracing. One game was over 600% faster on the 4070 at 4K.
