Indeed, to put that in context, I’ve been recommending people buy the regular RTX 2070 for the last couple of months, the cheapest model of which is still around £380 in the UK. However, now that you can get this RTX 2070 Super for just another £20, it’s definitely worth spending that little bit extra to get the Super. As you can see in my RTX 2070 vs RTX 2070 Super benchmark comparison, the Super offers some quite substantial performance gains over the regular RTX 2070 at 2560x1440 on max settings, and its improved ray tracing innards means it will be able to handle all those fancy lighting effects more effectively. If the price difference was any greater than £20-odd, I’d probably advise sticking with the vanilla RTX 2070, if only because the RTX 2070 is still perfectly capable of hitting a full 60fps in most of today’s top games at max settings at 1440p, and the difference at 1080p between each card is pretty much negligible. However, when there’s just £20 in it, you might as well get the better card. I should also note that while £400 is a great price for the RTX 2070 Super, Nvidia are due to be releasing their next gen Nvidia Ampere graphics cards at some point before the end of the year, which will have even better ray tracing capabilities than their existing RTX 20 series. Their RTX 3000 cards will likely be a lot more expensive when they eventually come out, of course, but do bear in mind that there will be next-gen graphics cards about reasonably soon. Still, you do also get a free copy of Death Stranding with all RTX cards at the moment, so that’s another added bonus if you’ve been thinking about playing Kojima’s post-apocalyptic postman sim, and you can read more about Death Stranding’s PC performance and DLSS 2.0 tech right here. So go forth, graphics card deals hunters, because I doubt this will price will stick around for long.
