4K video games with a good frame-per-second rate at a reasonable price
After evaluating the GeForce RTX 3080, the Californian company NVIDIA, has given us the opportunity to get our hands on the new GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition graphics card, a GPU that promises a performance similar to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti with a considerably lower price. , contemplating the starting price of You. Here are the results of the tests we ran at 40 games.
We develop the Reviews with the following PC

The parameters that we select unlike the 3080 to take all games to 4K resolutions with active HDR to the extreme, Ray Tracing to the limit in case of having this function and supporting it. It was that now in almost all the games we had to activate the DLSS in case we had it, since without it it gave us FPS below 30. All the games were installed directly on the SSD and were played at least 30 minutes each, making the samples in complex parts and with movement of each of the titles.
We start with all the games that have their own benchmarks:
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey gave 48 average FPS
Borderlands 3 kept 43 average FPS
F1 2020 threw 93 average FPS
Forza Horizon 4 gave 69 average FPS
Gears of War 4 maintained 43 average FPS
Gears 5 threw 54 average FPS
Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition gave 55 average FPS
Shadow of The Tomb Raider with DLSS active maintained 46 average FPS
The games we evaluated without their own benchark were:
A Plague Tale: Innocence, Apex Legends, Avengers, Battlefield V (online) and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (campaign)
Control with DLSS, Crysis Remastered on high, Death Stranding, Devil May Cry 5 and Doom Eternal
Dying light, Far Cry 4, Final Fantasy XV, Flight Simulator in Ultra and Fortnite in 4K with Ray Tracing on low
Grounded, GTA V, Hellblade, Hyperscape and Lurk in the Dark
Metro Exodus, Project Cars 3, Rage 2, Resident Evil 3 and Ride 4
Rocket Arena, Sekiro, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Star Wars: Squadrons and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2
Watch Dogs 2 and Windbound
It should be noted that the card is considerably silent and taking into account the size, it is easier to install than the RTX 3080, as the latter will integrate NVIDIA RTX IO, the technology that will considerably improve load times, as well as NVIDIA Reflex to lower latency and broadcast times for all those who want to focus on content creation.
The GeForce RTX 2070 Founders Edition will be available globally this October 29 at an estimated price of $ 499, the same case for versions of other brands.
CONCLUSION
The GeForce RTX 3070 GPU is for those who want to play most existing games in 4K at a good frame rate with everything and Ray Tracing, although it will perform much better at resolutions like 1440p. Its features focused on the generation of content make it one of the options to consider, especially since its power is comparable to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, but at half the price of what the top of the range cost in the previous generation. . Without a doubt, a great option for everyone looking to make that generational leap in PC graphics.
