The leaked Nvidia RTX 2070 specs mean it could own the mainstream GPU market

We’re just a few hours away from Nvidia’s big pre-Gamescom reveal of the new RTX 2080 graphics card, and with all the specs for the big graphics cards already leaked, we’re finally seeing some movement on the more affordable end of the Turing line-up of GPUs, the RTX 2070. The RTX 2070 has been rumoured, though not confirmed, by perennial leakers Videocardz, with a TU104 GPU cut down to the tune of 18 SMs to the RTX 2080’s 23. That gives the more modest card a CUDA core count of 2,304 compared with the 2,944 cores packed into the TU104 silicon of the RTX 2080. That’s slightly less of a cut than when Nvidia took the knife to the GP104 GPU shared by both the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070. The upcoming RTX 2070 has less than 22% fewer cores inside it than the RTX 2080 while the chip inside the GTX 1070 was a full 25% weaker than its larger GTX 1080 sibling. Even if Nvidia drops the pace of the GDDR6 memory array on the RTX 1070, it’s still going to have some juice behind it.
