RTX 2070 question

[SGTechGamer]

Everyone I ask tells me the rtx 2070 is a bad value as a gpu, if it's such a bad value why did Linus use 12 asus strix rtx 2070s for the LTT game lounge build? 

And what's so bad value about the card? In Singapore a rtx 2070 cost between $750-$850 a card the cheapest rtx 2080 cost $1080-$1270each.

It's around 9% faster on average than a RTX 2060 but usually costs as high as 60% more, it makes better value sense cheap up with the RTX 2060 or truly save up for the RTX 2080 as the performance gaps are much more meaningful.

 

Right now even the AMD Vega64 presents a better value in many countries, selling cheaper than the RTX 2070 for the same performance if not greater in Vulkan based games.

 

Older GTX 1080 also have on pair performance and can be bought second hand for cheaper, you get FreeSync and all the current features, DXR aside (it's enable now but performance is meh).

I see they compared the rtx 2070 to the 2060  I can see what you mean rtx 2060 cost around $500-700
