Computerbase for example has their review article online, &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.computerbase.de&amp;#x2F;2019-01&amp;#x2F;nvidia-geforce-rtx-2060-test&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.computerbase.de&amp;#x2F;2019-01&amp;#x2F;nvidia-geforce-rtx-2060-...&lt;/a&gt;. For that workload it&amp;#x27;s at the level of a GTX 1080&amp;#x2F;RTX 2070 when overclocked, only a bit lower on stock. Pretty good, and clearly faster than the 1070.</text></comment>

When I can&amp;#x27;t get a consistent 1080p@30FPS (though I prefer 1080p@60FPS) then I will consider upgrading.  Right now I&amp;#x27;m CPU bound, not GPU bound, in any title where I get sub-60FPS.</text></comment>
