65 FPS at 1440p across 9 games (anchored estimate) · solid 60+ FPS 1440p gaming, with headroom in lighter titles
65 Avg FPS Includes estimates
Treat these as estimates. They are interpolated from our own measured results on comparable silicon, and they carry the estimate label until this card is benched. Across our 9-game suite at 1440p, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 averages 65 FPS. The ceiling is Counter-Strike 2 at 108 FPS; the floor is Alan Wake 2 at 41 FPS, a 2.6x spread that tells you how engine-dependent this class of card is. In practical terms that means solid 60+ FPS 1440p gaming, with headroom in lighter titles. Under load we logged a peak of 168W against the 175W rating.

Denser than 65% of the 746 cards we have silicon data for. Density is the clearest measure of what a process node bought: a card that gained it without growing the die got its speed from the fab rather than the architecture.

This card is $499 to buy. The cheapest listed rate on Vast.ai is $0.062/hour, but that is the floor: we budget $0.074/hour, a 20% premium, because idle time, storage and unavailable cheap instances all land on the same bill. At that rate buying wins after 6,707 GPU-hours. Below it you are paying for idle silicon.
| How you would use it | GPU-hours a year | Rental cost a year | Time to break even |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 hours a day, hobby | 730 | $54 | 9.2 years |
| 8 hours a day, working on it | 2,920 | $217 | 2.3 years |
| 24/7, always-on agent | 8,760 | $652 | 9.2 months |
At hobby usage this card is very unlikely to pay for itself before it is superseded. Rent it. Rental figures include a 20% premium over the cheapest listed rate. Ignores electricity, resale and the fact that a rented card can be a newer one tomorrow.
