Gaming PC build GeForce GTX 1070, Ryzen 7 2700X, 16GB performance review

A PC with a Ryzen 7 2700X can run 829 of the top 1000 PC games released when it also has the GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card and 16GB system memory in it. This combination of hardware leaves the GeForce GTX 1070 as the weak point, when looking at what games it can play. You could upgrade that component enabling the system to run 993 games of our most demanding games list.

This PC’s performance can be benchmarked against todays most popular game, Cyberpunk 2077. In summary, 1440p resolution shows itself to be the optimum performance vs visuals for the GeForce GTX 1070. While it can certainly get a strong 1080p Ultra of 65 FPS, if you want to move up to 1440p on Cyberpunk 2077 then we can see 1440p Low setting getting 131 FPS or the Medium returning 103 FPS. Change graphics settings up to High for 69 FPS and then Ultra gets 50 FPS.
