GTX 1070 vs. 2022 | Tales From The Scalper Pandemic

Benchmarking the nVidia GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card against 12 popular and recent games on an average gaming PC.

The £200 price bracket is fairly barren of new graphics cards in 2022, but the used market is another story. The GTX 1070 is one of the most recent models in that budget gaming sweet spot; despite being 6 years old, the Pascal architecture cards are technically only one generation older than the current GTX 16 series cards. Does this mean it can still perform in modern games, or would you be better spending your money elsewhere?
