Bottom line: how fast is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070?

At 1440p Ultra, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 averages 63 fps in Baldur's Gate 3, per GPUCheck. For local LLM inference it generates 52.4 tokens/sec running llama3.1:8b at q4_K_M under llama.cpp, per LocalScore. In 3DMark Fire Strike it scores 19,283 points, per 3DMark. Its 8 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the llama3.1:8b run above (8B parameters) is the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.

AI Inference Performance

Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.

Local LLM inference throughput on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070, in generated tokens per second for a single request (one user's generation speed). Higher is better; each row links to the community report or benchmark database it came from.
