Rise of the Tomb Raider shows the RTX 2070 and RTX 2070S more-or-less tying at 1080p, but the faster GPU sharply distinguishes itself at higher resolutions. The gains here are significant enough to represent a reset for Nvidia’s overall product stack. The RTX 2070S is effectively an RTX 2080, for $500 instead of $700. The RTX 2060S is an RTX 2070 at $400 instead of $500. When the RTX 2080S arrives, it’ll presumably improve on the RTX 2080 by 8-10 percent as well given the boost to its overall specs.

This is what Nvidia should have launched last September. It’s a significant enough price improvement to change the overall value proposition of the cards. We’ll be revisiting the question of ray tracing support and the overall value these cards offer against AMD’s upcoming GPUs in weeks to come, but one thing is clear: AMD probably needs to tweak its own launch pricing.

AMD may or may not respond with price adjustments before launch, but the 2070S looks like stiffer competition. And these new Turing cards are a noticeable improvement on previous models. All of this sets up a very interesting comparison coming in just a few more days.
