What's your experience like with RTX 2060-70 Desktop?

Hi, if anyone here using rtx2060-70 desktop i would like to know how well it performs when it comes to rendering single frame still images. Right now i use my not so new 4 core intel 16mb. laptop and it takes me between 3 to 4 hours to render a 1000 x 1000 2mb. still image. I am not a gamer and not into animations. I would like to know if a desktop with rtx 2060 or 70 gpu and say 6gb size will work well for rendering up to 5000 x 5000 up to 10 mb image in size and how much rendering time it would take. Now that rtx 3000 series is coming out i should probably be able to buy rtx 2070 computer under $1200 beginning of 2021 i am hoping. I hope to read your about experiences and opinions with that gpu. Thank you!

    You can find the Iray benchmark here: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/341041/daz-studio-iray-rendering-hardware-benchmarking/p1#Section 3.1

    They're not bad GPUs, but to me this is a bad purchase:

    - First of all, if you can, wait for the RTX 3060/3050 to go out: the price of 2000 GPUs will get lower (think about getting one used too), and the new ones will probably be much more powerful.
    - For second, if you desperately need to buy it soon, look for the SUPER models, they're better bank for the buck.

    If you want to render so large I would make sure you get a 3000 series, they're going to have more RAM; seriously you could easily end up being ripped off for a 2000 series computer, especially with the shortages. They are supposed to ease in the coming months, but I wouldn't bet my cash on it.

    if you use DAZ regularly, by all means, do it. It's not just better it's a complete game changer.

    Expect about 10x faster renders. Your 3 hours become 18 minutes. Maybe 8. Or 3 if you turn on the fancy AI noise reduction. If, and only if, the scene fits into the GPU memory.

    The even bigger thing IMO (I could live with working on a scene and rendering overnight) is iray previews. You can work on lighting and materials and immediately see what it really looks like.

    If money's scarce, the used market will be very interesting soon, due to the RTX 30xx series. I might sell you my 4 months old 2070 Super for €300 if/when the 3070 16GB comes out. Another 300 for a decent 2017 PC and that setup will make your laptop look like a kid's tricycle next to a Ferrari.

    i've had a RTX 2070 super in a build i did 3 weeks ago and comparing it to my laptop's cpu it really is 10 times faster!... i built my pc with the 3000 series in mind and as soon as the right one becomes available i'll upgrade but it won't be as big a performance boost as the last upgrade.

    I have a 2070 at the moment.  The amount of time it takes to converge really depends upon scene complexity and lighting, as well as resolution, but in general it's minutes not hours.

    Thank you for the tip. If this pandemic wasn't putting on a tight budget I would definitely go for 3000 model. Also, i read in a different forum Daz iray rendering isn't yet supported with this new gpu's.

    That sounds encouraging. Thank you.

    Hoping that a combination of 3000 gpu's coming out and winter holiday sales here in US will put those rtx 2070S desktops in my budget. This pandemic is so not good for my $$$.

    Look - I'm using an iMac 2017 with a Core i7 doing all the rendering and I plan on buying a PC with a 2070 and not waiting on to get 3000 series since anything will be an improvement from where my perspective is.
