In case you weren't aware, today was the official publishing date of the RTX 2070 reviews (unless you're HardOCP, haven't signed the Nvidia NDA and have managed to get a retail sample, in which case you published your review a few days ago). In any case, here's the usual Videocardz review roundup:

In summary: Great for 1080&1440p gaming, but not for 4K. It's about 10% faster than a 1080, but that difference will depend on the clockspeeds of both cards. That means that it's a sidegrade rather than an upgrade for 1080, Vega64 and even 1070Ti owners, so not worth it. For the ones upgrading from lower cards, it will depend on price, as it may be quite cheaper to get a 1080. The make or break point will be the RayTracing and DLSS performance of the card, something that can't be tested right now because no game supports them yet.

THat's pretty much how it's been looking for 1080/1080ti owners so far (myself included) towards the 2070/2080 and 2080ti. This new line honestly looks like a sidegrade.

Pretty much the same for AMD for the last few years. Just side grades.
