NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Linux Gaming Benchmarks
That's where the current pricing stands today but we'll see how that changes moving forward with possible price cuts to the GeForce GTX 1000 series and possible movement on the AMD side upon the rumored Radeon RX 590 launch.
Overall the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 was performing well for Linux gaming but not nearly as much of a standout as it was for delivering really great compute performance in workloads like TensorFlow at FP16 with taking advantage of Turing's tensor cores. The RTX 2070 performance may be more compelling for Linux gamers when there are titles making use of RTX/ray-tracing, but that is likely to be quite a while before seeing any of those games on the native Linux front... But still the RTX 2070 offers decent value, does deliver slightly better power efficiency over Pascal (and much better efficiency compared to Polaris/Vega), making these $499+ graphics cards suitable if you are looking for a graphics card to last you for a few years and can handle most OpenGL/Vulkan Linux games at 1440p and 4K.
