GeForce RTX 2070 (móvel) vs Quadro P5200 Max-Q: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce RTX 2070 (móvel)

2019

Why buy it

  • 37.6% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 15.4 vs 0 G3D/$ ($800 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 4 GB).
  • Better long-term bet: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 15% higher power demand at 115W vs 100W.

Quadro P5200 Max-Q

2018

Why buy it

  • Draws 100W instead of 115W, a 15W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 2070 (móvel) across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 4 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • Older hardware, 4 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 15.4 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $800 MSRP).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 2070 (móvel) is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 37.6% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 0.4% in PassMark G3D (12,357 vs 12,308), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 2070 (móvel) is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 8 GB vs 4 GB of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 12nm process instead of 16nm, and 36 vs 0 ray-tracing units. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 2070 (móvel) makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup.
