2070 = 2060S
4% performance difference between them
so not only is it cheaper it's 4% faster.
seems a no brainer to me.
Not quite. Cheapest 2060S is £20 cheaper than the cheapest 2070 (it's a mini), and also has a better cooler & higher boost, so the performance difference is a wash. The important part is rather that both are a hard sell for £345 when you have a 1070 already. Not gonna link them but they're easy to find.

i'll admit I've not looked into it much and just went off prices on here. main reason being because i had a 1080 so 2060 supers would at best be a side-grade or worst a downgrade. so i went for a 2070 super.
for anyone using a 1070 though though it makes sense to go for 2060 super, 2070 or a 5700 / 5700XT
I might do that in a couple of months.
Yep well worth it because right now you can get around £140-150 for your 1070. Next year when new GPU's launch 1070 is going to be a struggle to shift around £100. Put the £140-150 towards a 2060 Super means you got a new GPU with 3-5 years warranty which is going to be worth way more than your devalued 1070 next year. 2060 Super is about the same performance as a GTX1080 so you will notice some minor difference in many current games plus you can try the wonder tech called Ray Tracing & see what the difference is (NOT!!!).
