Notes
This 14-strong GPU line-up takes in the best of enthusiast-class cards in 2020. Key comparisons are how the RTX 3070 FE fares against the RTX 2070 Super, as both came to market at the $499 price point. And though AMD's next generation graphics hardware is imminent, it still pays to see how RTX 3070 compares against incumbent RX 5700 XT.
