Counter-Strike 2 runs excellently at 219 fps average thanks to the Source 2 engine's efficiency. Escape from Tarkov remains playable. Battlefield 6 is the toughest test, averaging 72 fps at Low settings with occasional stuttering from 0.1% lows dropping to 15 fps. Overall, the GTX 1070 (available under $100 on eBay) is still a viable budget entry point for 1080p gaming in esports and older titles, but struggles with the latest AAA games. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
