Product overview
Released on October 17, 2018, MSI’s GeForce RTX 2070 is a Turing-based, first‑generation RTX card with 8GB GDDR6 on a 256‑bit bus and support for DLSS upscaling and real‑time ray tracing. It’s part of NVIDIA’s RTX 20‑series, which is now discontinued (the series was retired by November 28, 2022).
Positioned as a mainstream xx70 option, it exists to deliver dependable 1440p play with headroom at 1080p and entry‑level ray tracing. It suits VR and creator workflows, too. MSI variants typically use 8‑pin + 6‑pin PCIe power with a 550 W PSU recommendation; compact AERO ITX models use a single 8‑pin. Outputs vary by card (usually 3×DisplayPort + HDMI, with some adding USB‑C VirtualLink).
