Posted July 20, 2020 I have been thinking about adding a 2070 or a 2070 super to my rig which currently consists of a 1070ti , ryzen 2700x, 48gb of ram and an aorus gaming wifi 5 x470. The main reason I want to get a rtx 2070 is its ability to use ray tracing for 3d rendering programs. The addon e-cycles for blender is an optimised renderer that uses the GPU to get renders 2.5x faster, with an rtx card rendering is 4.7x faster. So my main question , is it a good idea to have both cards in the rig? I know games won't be able to utilize both but could rendering? What would the cons be of switching from a 1070 gtx to a 2070 rtx? And if it would be better to sell the evga 1070ti ftw do you have a y suggestions on where to sell it and how much you would ask for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 20, 2020 would recommend waiting for nvidia ampere if you are looking to upgrade.
