Depends on what you want to do. If you are gaming at 1080P 60hz, then no its not worth the money. If you want to game at 144hz 1080P or 1440P then yes.

If you are looking for an upgrade for 1080P 60hz gaming then something like a GTX 1660 Super is a good upgrade. It could even get you to 100hz 1080P gaming.

2070s is a big jump. I hope you have the cpu power to feed it (Depending on resolution, frame rates and game), enough ram (recommended 16GB ram to reduce drive IO from vram buffering) and a decent psu with adequate connectors.

I have a I7 9700k with 16gb of 3000mhz ram i think this should be good enough right?
thanks for the reply

👍 Good, DP for Gsync to work over Freesync. Amd cards operate Freesync over Hdmi as well so was checking. Nvidia requires DP for Freesync to work.

I think you'll be fine with that PSU, although the recommended for 2070s is a 650w.
