GeForce RTX 2070 (móvel) vs Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU: 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

  • 9.0% 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).
  • Better long-term bet: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
  • Draws 115W instead of 300W, a 185W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Fewer clear downsides in this head-to-head, aside from the usual pricing and availability swings.

Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU

2018

Why buy it

  • Competitive enough if your priority is price, power, or specific feature preference.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 2070 (móvel) across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
  • Older hardware, 8 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).
  • 160.9% higher power demand at 300W vs 115W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
