The Nvidia RTX 2070 will be delivered on October 17th for $ 499

If Nvidia's RTX 2080 Ti is a bit too rich for your blood, you can buy the RTX 2070 next month. Nvidia announced by GeForce Twitter the RTX 2070 will be available on October 17th at a starting price of $ 499. If you opt for the Founders Edition card, this version will cost $ 100 more to $ 599. As the flagship product of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, the RTX 2070 will utilize Nvidia's new Turing architecture, which will support artificial intelligence, ray tracing and Deep Learning super sampling.

While the RTX 2070 is a more affordable option for players than the RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti models, it may not be an immediate upgrade from the aging GeForce GTX series. In our first tests of the RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti with the current games, we found that the RTX 2080 offers a performance roughly equal to that of the GTX 1080. For its part, Nvidia says that the new RTX series should be capable of six times the performance of the GTX platform. However, for this performance to become a reality, you must wait for games that support ray tracing and super sampling (DLSS). And for now, it's hard to know if tracing games will be available when the RTX 2070 launches in October. Without ray tracing and DLSS, players will not be able to realize the full potential of the card.

Nvidia is betting heavily on ray tracing as the future of video games. This feature renders scenes in real time, showing how light can be absorbed, reflected or refracted on surfaces. The effect is similar to computer generated images, or CGI, in movies. In games, Nvidia says it will lead to more realistic scenes and animations. However, if you do not need to cast shelves, you can get better results by finding GTX series cards that have been priced now that the RTX series is starting to arrive.

If you want to invest in Nvidia's vision for the future of the game, you can register on the dedicated GeForce RTX 2070 portal to be informed about the commissioning of pre-orders.

The month of October announces as a big month for the PC industry. In addition to RTX 2070 tablets, Microsoft should also put an end to the next major update of Windows 10, which the company calls the October 2018 update.
