Can I run Destiny 2 with a GeForce RTX 3070?

Nothing about the GeForce RTX 3070 is in question here: it clears every tier Destiny 2 defines. The 105 GB the game wants on disk is the part of this pairing worth checking.

Of the 24 cards that reach this same point in Destiny 2, the GeForce RTX 3070 is the slowest - index 22 is the least this game will accept for that tier among the hardware we track.

  4. ultra cleared

That readout is the best this card can do in Destiny 2: it assumes nothing else in the machine holds it back. Your own processor and memory can only lower it, never raise it.

The same card with three different processors

In Destiny 2 the processor beside a GeForce RTX 3070 changes the answer, which is why a card-only verdict is not worth much here. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.
