Head-to-Head Verdict, Benchmarks, Value & Long-Term Outlook

This comparison brings together gaming FPS, raw graphics performance, VRAM, feature set, power efficiency, pricing context, and long-term value so you can see which GPU actually makes more sense.

GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel)

2016

Why buy it

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

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • Poor future-proofing: 2016-era hardware with 8 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 36.4 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $499 MSRP).

GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER

2019

Why buy it

  • 83.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 36.4 vs 0 G3D/$ ($499 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • More future proof: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

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

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER better than GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel)?
Yes. GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER averages 83.8% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 18,166 vs 17,790 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is a 2019 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel) is a 2016 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2019 generation instead of 2016, better upscaling support with DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 12nm process instead of 16nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $499 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 83.8% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 2.1% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.
Is GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel) still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel) is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around an unclear MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
