Good news, we have flipped all three setups from the last episode of the flip up challenge! Episode 4's production will commence! Also got some vids scheduled for the next few days, so if you don't catch the comments or tech yes city in the next few days... THEN MERRY XMAS!
I have a 2070S i picked up for $50, SIMPLY because it was "mined on". Literally works fine and I've been using it for almost 2 years now and It really showed me, I don't need THAT much power for what I do! I also go a free 3700x because it had bent pins but I was able to fix after a few hours! I love older hardware and I got into it because of the Tech Yes Man a few years ago. I MISS the Bogan accent and you calling people off of Gum Tree!
Your GPUs rule in the price/performance cathegory! Plus with DLSS or FSR you can extend their longevity noticeably (stating the obvious, I know) unless you play in which 4K which I bet you don't.
Honestly, a 2070s and 3700x may SEEM like "Old" hardware because of the age but it's still not much slower than most of the stuff released today. Yeah it's slower, but the more recent generations of hardware really aren't like crazy leaps ahead of what you currently have. I think you are still set for a while, especially at 1080p
@@Haywood-Jablomie Yeah i have a 200hz sceptre 30in ultrawide and my gaming experience is great! I've been gaming on a GTX 1080, that I got for 50$ and I really really don't even miss the 2070S! I think i'm going to sell the 2070S and keep the 1080 until I get a NEWER GPU! I have a bunch of PC parts so i totally get what you mean by "it's not the newest, but it isn't old" Too many people WANT to be on the newest of new for 0 reason! If it works it works!
@@Hombremaniac I came the conclusion I WANT better even though i don't need it and the 2070S is still selling for a good price so I went back to a GTX 1080 I got for 50$ and my gaming experience is still great but I do miss the better streaming encoder and DLSS, BUT i'm still hitting 200fps in the games I play like fortnite, league, overwatch, rocket league, etc. and i'm sooo happy! Can't wait to find a GREAT deal for a 30 series card, maybe a 3060ti for under 150$ HHAAHAHAH !
Looking at repair channels, I think it would be better to go for the Super Variants, many of the original RTX2xxx seem to have memory chips prone to fail earlier than the ones on the Super Series.
Bought an ASUS ROG Strix RTX 2080Ti in July 2023 for USD $275 with a Strix waterblock and OEM fan assembly on the side. Removed and sold the waterblock for $55. After a cleaning, repasting, and easy fix to a loose fan connector, reinstalled the fan assembly and undervolted for longevity. Runs perfectly. Great deal. Matches perfectly with my X99TF/E5-2696v3 (turbo-unlocked) /48GB 3200 DDR4 (x/XMP) rig. Merry XMAS and a Happy New Year Bryan!
Nice, GPU it is still, I put a 370w (peak not always) vbios on my 2080Ti and no clock drops due to power limits, sustains 2130Mhz at 4K no drops to 1900mhz anymore from 260watts, altho undervolt just as worthy, you got a nice deal 👍
I’ve overvolted every card I’ve ever had and not once has any of them died. Maybe undervolting is good for mining but I find it completely unnecessary otherwise.
@@brkbtjunkie Same here, I use GPU bound settings as Im a singleplayer gamer mainly, so Ill take the extra fps at the expense of power.. at the end of the whole year it doesnt add up to much more, but maybe if you had 4x power Costs (10 vs 40) it might add up but ive yet to break any GPU with an overclock either.
I got the RTX 2070 and i7-9700K from a friend after I built the rig for him. The best deal in my life, especially when my old system is i5-4440 and 1060.
I have fond memories of my 2070 super, a year prior I had bought a 1440p/165hz panel but my 1080 couldn’t push that many frames and the 2070 super was a nice 30-35% increase. Going from the 2070S to the 3080 was awesome though. The 2070S is the only card I’ve kept when I was done because it’s an Nvidia branded one and the build quality is outstanding.
So wish 3070 and 3080 had more VRAM. At least 12GB, but 3080 really deserved 16GB. If they did, they would still be such a good gpus! I mean they are good, but more vram would mean they would last noticeably longer without having to compromise with texture quallity.
@@Hombremaniac I’ve never not been able to use ultra textures using my 4K tv and the 3080. Maybe this year will be the year where it needs more vram, but my 3080 card is almost 5 years old now
Right with you man! I have a Zen 5 3600 + 2070S and with me playing games at 1440 and mostly older games, no need to upgrade until maybe 50 Series, and that is a big maybe!
@@highgaming1276 You are so right! I just fired up some older games like GTA V, Skyrim, Halo 4 and other games WOW!! Could not believe the FPS and quality I was getting
on newer games it seems to perform better but often it is neck and neck with the 5700XT and in older games can do better, according to hardware unboxed @@Kevin-xn1lk and that's without an overclock; i believe it has more OC headroom than a 5700xt too and will do better. i would get a 1080 ti if the price was right
@@Kevin-xn1lk to be fair the rtx 20 series although good in pure performance are actually terrible at ray tracing. 30 and 40 series are where ray tracing is actually good
My high-school stats teacher is in the back of my head lecturing on about bell-shaped curves and standard deviations anytime Bryan starts talking about price in any given performance window. Might be an easy way to visually explain it to people though
This content hits so close to home for me at this juncture in my life. Over the last month I have managed to find great deals on 4 2070 series cards my new addiction. The 1080ti is what I would consider the cream of the crop. 1080ti would sit nicely in the gap between 2080/2080ti without Ray Tracing. 5700xt should be close ball park also.
@@aaz1992 I do allot of budget builds, and or upgrades on used pc's for friends/customers. I am always grabbing the best deals I can before it is needed. Giving away 2-3 setups around New Years usually. This is a huge form of stress release from my job. Leasing out my GPU's sometimes to people who are saving up for big bucks cards. I really appreciate all the work and effort Bryan puts into his content.
Despite having bought RX 7900XT a month ago (only because I've sold RX6800XT) I still love watching such content. I mean for me computers are hobby and not only because of gaming and productivity stuff, but also because of the hardware itself. Looking up good deals, braving dangerous waters of used HW and being happy when you strike such a good deal like you did here. I only wish that both Nvidia and AMD stopped being too greedy and pushed GPU prices down a notch again. Especially Nvidia rustles my Jimmies due to how much they skimp on VRAM on their GPUs despite those being super expensive! And don't get me started on this whole RTX 4070ti Super refresh. That card, with 256bit bus and 16GB of vram, is clearly what the original 4070ti should have been!!! Anyway merry christmass to all of you gamers & PC enthusiasts out there! Stay strong, stay healthy and keep positive thinking. So hard these days...
You would be proud of me; I actually picked one of these up today... got a heckin deal all together too I think. Corsair Carbide 300r case, Corsair cx750m (gray label), CM Hyper 212 cooler, MSI z390 Pro-A, 32gb Ripjaws V 3200, i7 9700k, Evga RTX 2070 for $250usd + a coke. The guy tossed in the case, psu, and cooler.
my 2070S still rocks every game with fine settings. Awesome card, it's my daily workhorse and it just chews through gaming and a little video editing :D if I'll get a new gpu, I'm gonna send you my old one!
I gave my 2070Super to my son when he upgraded his system. Due to the size of his case and his CPU radiator getting in the way, he can't fit a card larger than that. At 1080p, it still runs every game he's thrown at it really well so far.
@5:53 factual mistake! DLSS3 does work on all RTX gen, including RTX 2000 and RTX 3000 series. Dlss 3 fake frame generation is the only RTX 4000 feature. Update it in CC for that timecode.
I'm a flipper and I have just been cleaning up on GTX 1080's lately for around £100. I don't know what it is, but everyone in England seems to be offloading them. 2070 Supers for under £200 have been a go-to.
I recently picked up a couple of MSI GPUs for under $200 USD combined. GTX 1070 with box and a 2060 Super. Upgrades for household gaming PCs. Fantastic cards. That 2060S is a solid card.
My little sister is rocking my old setup (i7-9700/RTX 2080) and 1080p @100hz is more than doable on high settings. These old Turing cards with samsung memory are still decent cards to this day.
I got an RTX 2070 in December 2019. Good timing for lockdowns lol. I since had a 3080 and now a 4080. Looks like I still would have been okay keeping the 2070. Too bad I obsess over high resolution raytracing
i dont think the normal 2070 is but the 2070Super im actually still using to this day with my 13900Ks / 7200mhz ram build, just because I didn't really need the increased gpu power yet for what I play, but I did need a better CPU from my 4790k.
The 2070 Super I had been using since 2020 is still preforming very well especially as a secondary PC card for a partner in LAN gaming and for streaming. With enough CPU power and RAM it is able to output well above 100 FPS in most games in 1080p, with tweaks here and there to the games' graphics. I only recently changed it for something better because newer titles will start to eat that 8Gb vram quite fast. The 2070 you have is the same brand I got and is in the same 2 fan format. It stays cool under full load, not passing 70c on the hottest of days. Adjusted the fan curve, added 111mhz to the core and 1112 mhz to the mem, it never failed and pushed itself to almost 3070 scores in MSI Kombustor at 1080p. Cool vid and love watching them to see what the market is like, at least in your area around the world as that can translate to my area even cheaper!
Am still using my RTX 2060 i picked up back in October of 2019 and am still able to play all my games at high and most at ultra with no issues. My brother inlaw who works in IT and has been building computers since 1989 always looks for raw performance which has saved alot of money when he does my builds because we know using the top of the line does not always equal better gaming satisfaction. It usually ends up being the same thing. I can play STARFIELD at high and medium settings at 1080p or 1440p even though my RTX 2060 is a 6gb vram card with the recommended cards for STARFIELD being 8gb of vram. Thanks for the always quality commonsense videos and Happy computing ☕
How about the RX 5700 xt? These GPU's are comming cheap these days where i live (130-150€ in Germany) while the 2060s & 2070 still around 200€. Keep up the good work 👍
Yeah, Nvidia definitely sells better and for more. Selling an rx5700xt based system takes a lot longer or has to be sold lower than a 2070 or 3060 system despite performing similarly.
One of the best deals I ever got, 4 years ago or so, was a month old RTX2070 Super, Ryzen 5 3600, MSI X570 Mobo, and 2×16GB 3600Mhz combo for $200 USD. He hardly had the system for a month and sold it. I think he needed money for someone not so good I found out.. Major come up for me.
I legit just picked up a boxed RTX 2070 for £170 on eBay. The 2070 super usually sells for around £210ish on eBay in the UK. However, this 2070 should be good for some content on my channel and for a potential flip too.
I just picked one up for £120 because it has coil whine and a common issue with the card I have which is a fan shroud rattle, I have the GIGABYTE RTX 2070 Windforce 2X, and the issue is fixable
@@rhaib Turns out I got mine for £150, the seller put on the wrong thermal pads, resulting in the GPU die contacting the cooler properly. So they gave me a part refund and I've got the correct thickness thermal pads on the way.
Nice price you got for that 2070. I've been rocking 2060S since 2019 for 1080p and it has played everything I've thrown at it, and still have some life left, since the 4060/Ti and RX 7600 have been so disappointing in terms of performance for the money.
Somtimes, the labelling or tagging of some sellers can be near but fb sometimes is inaccurate to the ones nearest. I've had good deals putting sort by nearest.
I picked up at local flea market a K4200 Quadro with 4gb of GDDR5 , and I verry happy , was less then 20 US$ , and all I had to do is lower the frequency and edit the bios , evrything runs fine , I am running it on my SVGA SyncMaster940N , on my old Dell Precision 490 , with windows 7 , I tried pc-es and upgrades to 10 , but I can't get use to the annoyance of unsolicited updates or reactivating cortana so I had to move back. (here in RO, GPU's are stuck at the few years back high prices so there is less end less stuff out there and very few stuff from last decade that you can get for 100$ or less).
A clean and working 2070 is easily worth $135 US in today's GPU market. The AMD equivalent performance-wise is the 5700XT, another tremendous value in the used market.
@@Assassin2928 Yuh, I am thinking of waiting for a bit more, and just getting 5000 series from Nvidia, or 8000 from AMD, something like a 5070Ti or a 8800XT, as I kinda wanna wait with it, I am mostly thinking of upgrading just for GTA VI, so I might just postpone the upgrade a tiny bit, so I can get better performance in that game. Hopefully those GPUs won't cost an arm and a leg.
@@Godmode_ON24 GTA games usually take around 1 - 2 years to port. GTA IV took a few months. So I think that it will either come out in 2026 or 2027 on PC. Either way, I am probably postponing my GPU upgrade for a bit.
I picked up the 2070 super recently for just under £200. Its the MSI Gaming X Trio version and I'm very happy with it. Better than my GTX 1080 for sure. It looks much better to.
I've been using the RTX 2070 in my personal rig for the past 5 years. Still performs well. No idea why people are forking out more than double for an RTX 4060.
Im getting a 2070, just bcs it has a dvi out,my monitor can only get 144hz using dvi ,the 6600xt is about the same price but not single one has a dvi out,really wanted to see what see team red is like.
Trying to sell a system with i5 9600k and 2070s right now. I’m asking 650usd. Hopefully that pans out. The midtier market is tough here. I got the case and power supply for free and still tough to price competitively and pay for the time and gas
Looking at Amazon here in Canada I noticed a used RX 5700 XT (that TechPowerUp got listed as on par with the RTX 2070 for relative performance) listed for $170 CAD (after sales tax with it being a business it would come to $192.10 CAD, using Google to quickly convert that it would be $144.46 USD or $212.41 AUD) and was wondering valuewise if it would be better or worse value than something like a RTX 3060 Ti or RTX 3070 that could be had for a extra $100?
The second hand route is some thing many have turned to, as the market has changed a lot. I remembered the days of playing PC games on matrox gpu and then swapping out for geforce 256 ddr (£200 ish) Fast-forward 20 + years and I got a new 5700XT in Jan 2020 for £430 (at 1 point they were selling for £800+ on line), its doesn't have RT. But I don't have many games that support RT. I've have several adrenalin profiles saved, for power draw, clocks, fans curves that lower heat and with a minimal drop in performance. I mostly play at 1080P or 1440P, via a 144Mhz screen, with high settings. The 5700XT plays my currently game library fine, thus no upgrade at this time to a new GPU due to the pricing (thanks N-(greed)-VIDIA)) and I've not even used FSR. Over the years I've brought many GPU (mostly nvidia).
Hi, can you test the 40hx graphics card? It's similar to a regular rtx 2060 super and the graphics chip is the same as the rtx 2070 but it costs very little... :)
194 Aus$ or more for any used Radeon RX 6600 in my country, but in my city and nearby it is even more expensive: Used RX6600 without XT cost 291 Aus$ or more. In U.S. Dollar it is 132 $ or more and in my city they want 198 U.S. $ or more.
Is it true that there are 2070/2080 super cards dying now? Everything I've read says it's mixed. Some used buyers are noting that there's memory failures, and some are saying it's just fine. And that you do not want to buy one of those cards that have Micron memory.
My 2060 Super served me very well for several years. But as I exclusively play AAA games I heavily relied on DLSS to pull me through. I eventually did a big upgrade and sold it for about $300.
I can see my 2070 super last till 2026/2027 till I upgrade. I game at 1080p next upgrade might be when the new Xbox’s come out or a new meta quest 4/5.
@@pricelessppp Oh when the next full generation of consoles releases in 2028, I will quit PC gaming and just play on a console from then on. I'm becoming way too jaded to care about the PC industry. My 4090 will be the last hurrah for PC gaming for me.
@@pricelessppp I will keep mine until 50xx comes out. I think, getting a new system after almost six years of using the current one will make sense. I was tempted to switch to a 4070Ti S and 14700K but eventually managed to resist, ha ha.
I recently bought a used 2080 ti for about 300$, the performance is amazing, the only problem is the coil whine which is quite audible and loud, v-sync seems to help but otherwise it was a great deal
I still use my EVGA 2070SUPER - I might upgrade to a 5070SUPER or a 5080SUPER, I dont want the 4000 with the cable plug issues, gotta get that shit sorted.
I had a Strix 2070 for a few years and it was great. I would have been fine with it still but I couldn’t resist upgrading despite not really needed to. Now I’m planning on sticking with my 6900XT for years though from how expensive it was.
Careful of these MSI Ventuses - the 2070 and 2070 Super were _very_ popular for crypto, and the Ventus has cheap sleeve-bearing fans that don't like running for thousands of hours non-stop. Gaming X/Z has ball-races that are fine. I belatedly discovered that the person I bought my Gaming X 2070 Super from had sold about 8 of them and 4 Ventuses (he then had to admit they were from his Crypto farm), the Ventuses were _all_ listed as having rattling or dead fans. VRAM - my 2070 Super starts artifacting occasionally past c. +400MHz/5-6%, they were known for +20%/1800MHz when new.
As an American, I keep hoping one day you'll start calling AUD "dollarbucks" like the Heelers on Bluey. Would you rather buy one of these used for ~$135 or the Mllse 2060 Super, ostensibly with a warranty, new for $160?
awesome vid as normal :) thats good to hear about the 1080ti , i picked up a asus strix 1080ti for 250 even tho i already have a ichill x4 1080ti but wanted a all matching build for my son :) will i have to use ddu or would it be a straight swap man? south aus rep here by the way haha
I don't know what I can say,this prices for these two gpus are awesome,but in my country,Romania,are very expensive and that's very upsetting,but it is what it is
Congrats on a solid gpu, I'd say my favourite second buy and first second hand was a 2080ti msi xtrio, it did 6k points on superposition 8k - that I scored a 4070ti tuf oc thanks to it from insurance as fedex destroyed my pc. I suggest u look into 2080tis that are mint condition for flipping - they will gain you profit. Merry Christmas.
I got a 2070 super from Gigabyte that I bough 4 years ago, the only issue I had so far is that it's such a great GPU, and NVidia did so bad these 2 past generations, that each time I look for an upgrade I feel it's not worth it. I play on a 1080 monitor, I also use some apps like Photoshop or DaVinci resolve for fun, and never felt too restricted by its power. I start to feel limited only since Stable Diffusion appeared and asks for more Cudas and Vram. But going for a 4060 Ti 16Gb would only give 3 more images per minute, 4070 does better by doubling the number of image per second but has only 12Gb which can be problematic using some specific tools I need like controlnet openpose with SDXL generations, so not that much of an upgrade when it comes to features, and 4080 are way to expensive. So I may have to wait for the 5000 serie (and be disappointed by NVidia one more time...) But well, that's the kind of issue you end up with when you had the good idea to chose one of the best performer in the medium range. 2070s is just an amazing GPU made to last during several generations, and IMO a better value than the 2070 (it has the 2080 chip and isn't much more expensive than the 2070).
Same as last time (about Q of the day) agree 100%, 1080TI is not a bad card, but price everyone asking (where I live) is just not reasonable, for lower price, it's good enough 2070 same, good card, but only for a good price
pretty worth it ngl. i got mine for 160usd used way back like may. keep in mind this price is for Philippine market and its one of the cheapest 2070 i could get here.
240 Aus$ = 165 US$ was the cheapest used RTX 2070 in my whole (!) country on all the classifieds platforms. It’s a MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Aero with 8 GB.
im still using 2080 super with i9900k @5.0ghz all core on 1440p 175hrz monitor i will upgrade gpu to top end with a 4k monitor at some point but im happy as it is now for some time yet warranty is coming to end on GPU maybe past it now
I always liked these cards, but still overpriced in the uk. Can get a used 3060 for about the same price, or a 2080 or 3060ti for £50 more. I bought a 6700xt used last year and they have gone up in price a little bit since then. I guess people realised what good value they are. If i was buying now, i would probably get the 3060ti for good price to performance.
I used a 2070 for a while, but when I upgraded my monitor to a 1440p 165 hrz panel, it just couldn't keep up, so I upgraded to a 6900XT. Which wasn't bad timing, a friend of mine who'd recently built his PC had a power surge fry his 3060Ti, so I sold him my 2070 for $125. He got a good deal and got to stop using integrated graphics.
@@ConnorDaly-n7c That would be great if we lived in a world where you could just afford to give away several hundred dollar items for free. Sadly, we all have bills to pay.
@@ConnorDaly-n7c Why would he give his friend something for free? Also some people are quite uncomfortable with receiving expensive gifts. Plus, 125 USD was already a very good deal that you usually would do only for someone you know.
The 5700xt should be a better option than the 6600 or? It was the main competitor for 2070 back in the day. But the 5700xt got a terrible reputation cause of its terrible drivers, so they might be even cheaper to pick up than the 6600
I was reading a thread the other day about this exact topic. Suffice to say, I don't remember all the details.. The 6600 did have a couple merits over the 5700xt other than power draw but at least in my local area, 5700xts are more plentiful and cheaper. Just upgraded the 980ti in my secondary machine to a 5700xt the other day for $100.
Just like i bouth a rx 570 8 gb card three monts ago. Still very good for all i need but as allways they cut the driver support for older gpu-s thus making it practycly uselles. Buy something else or be offline on older gpu-s 😢

Especially the Ti versions 👍
Maccas always a good place to meet 😊

48 gb ram, what for?
I got the RTX 2070 and i7-9700K from a friend after I built the rig for him. The best deal in my life, especially when my old system is i5-4440 and 1060.
I also have those
I have fond memories of my 2070 super, a year prior I had bought a 1440p/165hz panel but my 1080 couldn’t push that many frames and the 2070 super was a nice 30-35% increase. Going from the 2070S to the 3080 was awesome though.
The 2070S is the only card I’ve kept when I was done because it’s an Nvidia branded one and the build quality is outstanding.
So wish 3070 and 3080 had more VRAM. At least 12GB, but 3080 really deserved 16GB. If they did, they would still be such a good gpus! I mean they are good, but more vram would mean they would last noticeably longer without having to compromise with texture quallity.
1440 is so nice on a 2070S for most older games right? I mean for the price, is is slick!
@@Hombremaniac I’ve never not been able to use ultra textures using my 4K tv and the 3080. Maybe this year will be the year where it needs more vram, but my 3080 card is almost 5 years old now
I have a 2070S but want to upgrade since I want 200+ frames on MW3 1080p, should I get a 3080 as well?
I'm using 2070s since the panic sale craze in 2019. Having a difficult time to find a reason and a better value card to upgrade to.
yep have the aorus 2070 xtreme and i7-9700k and i’m fine lol, thought about building a new one this year idk anymore 🤷🏽♂️
Right with you man! I have a Zen 5 3600 + 2070S and with me playing games at 1440 and mostly older games, no need to upgrade until maybe 50 Series, and that is a big maybe!

The 1080ti is what I would consider the cream of the crop. 1080ti would sit nicely in the gap between 2080/2080ti without Ray Tracing. 5700xt should be close ball park also.

Especially Nvidia rustles my Jimmies due to how much they skimp on VRAM on their GPUs despite those being super expensive!

I gave my 2070Super to my son when he upgraded his system. Due to the size of his case and his CPU radiator getting in the way, he can't fit a card larger than that. At 1080p, it still runs every game he's thrown at it really well so far.
Just picked up a 2080 for $200 USD. Helping out someone with their first pc build. I was very happy to grab a deal like that for them.
@5:53 factual mistake! DLSS3 does work on all RTX gen, including RTX 2000 and RTX 3000 series. Dlss 3 fake frame generation is the only RTX 4000 feature. Update it in CC for that timecode.
I'm a flipper and I have just been cleaning up on GTX 1080's lately for around £100. I don't know what it is, but everyone in England seems to be offloading them. 2070 Supers for under £200 have been a go-to.
Still rocking my 2060, think i bought it in 2019 ????
Still fantastic at 1080p on my laptop,

I recently picked up a couple of MSI GPUs for under $200 USD combined. GTX 1070 with box and a 2060 Super. Upgrades for household gaming PCs. Fantastic cards. That 2060S is a solid card.

Only worth it if it comes with Tech YES Lovin!
My little sister is rocking my old setup (i7-9700/RTX 2080) and 1080p @100hz is more than doable on high settings. These old Turing cards with samsung memory are still decent cards to this day.
Just picked up a card for 125! Replacing it with the 1060 in my spare pc, pretty excited!
I got an RTX 2070 in December 2019. Good timing for lockdowns lol. I since had a 3080 and now a 4080. Looks like I still would have been okay keeping the 2070. Too bad I obsess over high resolution raytracing
2070 and 2080 (super/regular) are awesome for the price, got my 2070 super for $180 its an awesome card for 1080p right now
i dont think the normal 2070 is but the 2070Super im actually still using to this day with my 13900Ks / 7200mhz ram build, just because I didn't really need the increased gpu power yet for what I play, but I did need a better CPU from my 4790k.
ashryver3605
Why you did build 13900k, only RTX 4090 users need that 14900 k level of frames !
@@lucasrem Maybe the rig is not for games only?
The 2070 Super I had been using since 2020 is still preforming very well especially as a secondary PC card for a partner in LAN gaming and for streaming. With enough CPU power and RAM it is able to output well above 100 FPS in most games in 1080p, with tweaks here and there to the games' graphics. I only recently changed it for something better because newer titles will start to eat that 8Gb vram quite fast. The 2070 you have is the same brand I got and is in the same 2 fan format. It stays cool under full load, not passing 70c on the hottest of days. Adjusted the fan curve, added 111mhz to the core and 1112 mhz to the mem, it never failed and pushed itself to almost 3070 scores in MSI Kombustor at 1080p. Cool vid and love watching them to see what the market is like, at least in your area around the world as that can translate to my area even cheaper!
When they just released i bought a Rx5700xt over the 2070 i didn't regret that choice!
why should you lol? pretty much same performance but the 2070 got dlss and fsr was absolute crap back then.
Best GPU deals I've found were a 6650xt for $160 USD in December and then just yesterday right before finding your video got a 2070 super for $150.
Am still using my RTX 2060 i picked up back in October of 2019 and am still able to play all my games at high and most at ultra with no issues. My brother inlaw who works in IT and has been building computers since 1989 always looks for raw performance which has saved alot of money when he does my builds because we know using the top of the line does not always equal better gaming satisfaction. It usually ends up being the same thing. I can play STARFIELD at high and medium settings at 1080p or 1440p even though my RTX 2060 is a 6gb vram card with the recommended cards for STARFIELD being 8gb of vram.
Thanks for the always quality commonsense videos and Happy computing ☕
Still a great Card!
I recently updated from it to a 4080 Super, but it was still going pretty strong !

Keep up the good work 👍
Hes said that the Nvidia name sells more. Maybe same for views😂
Yeah, Nvidia definitely sells better and for more. Selling an rx5700xt based system takes a lot longer or has to be sold lower than a 2070 or 3060 system despite performing similarly.

I just picked one up for £120 because it has coil whine and a common issue with the card I have which is a fan shroud rattle, I have the GIGABYTE RTX 2070 Windforce 2X, and the issue is fixable
@@rhaib Turns out I got mine for £150, the seller put on the wrong thermal pads, resulting in the GPU die contacting the cooler properly. So they gave me a part refund and I've got the correct thickness thermal pads on the way.
Nice price you got for that 2070.
I've been rocking 2060S since 2019 for 1080p and it has played everything I've thrown at it, and still have some life left, since the 4060/Ti and RX 7600 have been so disappointing in terms of performance for the money.
Somtimes, the labelling or tagging of some sellers can be near but fb sometimes is inaccurate to the ones nearest. I've had good deals putting sort by nearest.

I picked up at local flea market a K4200 Quadro with 4gb of GDDR5 , and I verry happy , was less then 20 US$ , and all I had to do is lower the frequency and edit the bios , evrything runs fine , I am running it on my SVGA SyncMaster940N , on my old Dell Precision 490 , with windows 7 , I tried pc-es and upgrades to 10 , but I can't get use to the annoyance of unsolicited updates or reactivating cortana so I had to move back. (here in RO, GPU's are stuck at the few years back high prices so there is less end less stuff out there and very few stuff from last decade that you can get for 100$ or less).
A clean and working 2070 is easily worth $135 US in today's GPU market. The AMD equivalent performance-wise is the 5700XT, another tremendous value in the used market.
picked up a used radeon 6800xt, been working perfectly fine now for 2 years.
I've been using my 2070 for ages, and it's still a pretty good card. I am looking for an RX 7800 XT to swap it out with though.

Looking at Amazon here in Canada I noticed a used RX 5700 XT (that TechPowerUp got listed as on par with the RTX 2070 for relative performance) listed for $170 CAD (after sales tax with it being a business it would come to $192.10 CAD, using Google to quickly convert that it would be $144.46 USD or $212.41 AUD) and was wondering valuewise if it would be better or worse value than something like a RTX 3060 Ti or RTX 3070 that could be had for a extra $100?
The second hand route is some thing many have turned to, as the market has changed a lot. I remembered the days of playing PC games on matrox gpu and then swapping out for geforce 256 ddr (£200 ish)
Fast-forward 20 + years and I got a new 5700XT in Jan 2020 for £430 (at 1 point they were selling for £800+ on line), its doesn't have RT. But I don't have many games that support RT. I've have several adrenalin profiles saved, for power draw, clocks, fans curves that lower heat and with a minimal drop in performance. I mostly play at 1080P or 1440P, via a 144Mhz screen, with high settings. The 5700XT plays my currently game library fine, thus no upgrade at this time to a new GPU due to the pricing (thanks N-(greed)-VIDIA)) and I've not even used FSR. Over the years I've brought many GPU (mostly nvidia).
When you test card go down to compare with 1070 for exemple. A lot of Pepople have 1060 or 1070 again.

My 2060 Super served me very well for several years. But as I exclusively play AAA games I heavily relied on DLSS to pull me through. I eventually did a big upgrade and sold it for about $300.

Careful of these MSI Ventuses - the 2070 and 2070 Super were _very_ popular for crypto, and the Ventus has cheap sleeve-bearing fans that don't like running for thousands of hours non-stop. Gaming X/Z has ball-races that are fine. I belatedly discovered that the person I bought my Gaming X 2070 Super from had sold about 8 of them and 4 Ventuses (he then had to admit they were from his Crypto farm), the Ventuses were _all_ listed as having rattling or dead fans. VRAM - my 2070 Super starts artifacting occasionally past c. +400MHz/5-6%, they were known for +20%/1800MHz when new.

Hey I would like your opinion this. For personal usage, or for selling, would you rather buy a 2070s for 175? Or buy a 3060 12gb for 200?
I got a 2070 super from Gigabyte that I bough 4 years ago, the only issue I had so far is that it's such a great GPU, and NVidia did so bad these 2 past generations, that each time I look for an upgrade I feel it's not worth it.
I play on a 1080 monitor, I also use some apps like Photoshop or DaVinci resolve for fun, and never felt too restricted by its power. I start to feel limited only since Stable Diffusion appeared and asks for more Cudas and Vram. But going for a 4060 Ti 16Gb would only give 3 more images per minute, 4070 does better by doubling the number of image per second but has only 12Gb which can be problematic using some specific tools I need like controlnet openpose with SDXL generations, so not that much of an upgrade when it comes to features, and 4080 are way to expensive. So I may have to wait for the 5000 serie (and be disappointed by NVidia one more time...)
But well, that's the kind of issue you end up with when you had the good idea to chose one of the best performer in the medium range. 2070s is just an amazing GPU made to last during several generations, and IMO a better value than the 2070 (it has the 2080 chip and isn't much more expensive than the 2070).
4070ti S has 16gig...
@@cehaem2 And is stupidly priced by playing the +4Gb argument.
Same as last time (about Q of the day) agree 100%, 1080TI is not a bad card, but price everyone asking (where I live) is just not reasonable, for lower price, it's good enough

Im still on Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 2070 Super and will not change it until im unable to play on it.
I always liked these cards, but still overpriced in the uk. Can get a used 3060 for about the same price, or a 2080 or 3060ti for £50 more. I bought a 6700xt used last year and they have gone up in price a little bit since then. I guess people realised what good value they are. If i was buying now, i would probably get the 3060ti for good price to performance.
I used a 2070 for a while, but when I upgraded my monitor to a 1440p 165 hrz panel, it just couldn't keep up, so I upgraded to a 6900XT. Which wasn't bad timing, a friend of mine who'd recently built his PC had a power surge fry his 3060Ti, so I sold him my 2070 for $125. He got a good deal and got to stop using integrated graphics.

Would a pc with rtx 2070 pared with a ryzen 5 2600 and 16gb ram be worth to buy for 450$?
450$ sorry
Do you think this card would last till 2026 for AAA Games ar 1080p? The gpu market still sucks lol.
With DLSS, possible
The 5700xt should be a better option than the 6600 or? It was the main competitor for 2070 back in the day. But the 5700xt got a terrible reputation cause of its terrible drivers, so they might be even cheaper to pick up than the 6600
I was reading a thread the other day about this exact topic. Suffice to say, I don't remember all the details.. The 6600 did have a couple merits over the 5700xt other than power draw but at least in my local area, 5700xts are more plentiful and cheaper. Just upgraded the 980ti in my secondary machine to a 5700xt the other day for $100.
Well yeah I'm still stuck on a 980ti FFS lol
Just like i bouth a rx 570 8 gb card three monts ago. Still very good for all i need but as allways they cut the driver support for older gpu-s thus making it practycly uselles. Buy something else or be offline on older gpu-s 😢
