NVIDIA has just confirmed the launch date of its RTX 2070 graphics card featuring the TU106 ‘Turing’ GPU as 17 October 2018. The ‘affordable’ tier graphics card is slated to have MSPR of $499 for the custom variants and $599 for the Founders Edition. However, considering that RTX 2080 Ti and 2080 are nowhere near MSRP for the custom editions, we will probably not see these cards hit these prices anytime soon after launch – especially in light of the new tariffs. If you want to grab one at a guaranteed price – the founder’s edition is your only option.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 is based on the Turing TU106 GPU which features 2304 CUDA Cores and a 6 Gigaray raytracing engine. 36 Ray tracing cores and 288 Tensor cores are present on the die as well. This makes it the third card to be RTX and DLSS ready (whenever titles supporting these features ship that is). SLI support was removed from the card for reasons unknown.
