Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

GeForce RTX 2070 Super Mobile is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 57.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 2.1% in PassMark G3D (18,157 vs 17,790), so the answer here is pretty clean.

Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce RTX 2070 Super Mobile is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 12nm process instead of 16nm, 40 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2020 generation instead of 2016. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

GeForce GTX 1070 SLI makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and lighter 1440p, GeForce GTX 1070 SLI is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and lighter 1440p headroom, GeForce RTX 2070 Super Mobile has the stronger long-term case.
