The RTX 2070 will do an excellent job with Inventor. As you will find at the link that Niels posted, VRAM is the most important feature of a video card, and the RTX 2070 has 8 GB of DDR6 (according to one review that I read). That's likely far more than you will need for learning Inventor and creating models to print. My home computer is using a very old Radeon card with 1/2 GB of VRAM, and I'm not having any difficulty with Inventor (but I'm also not working with large complex models).

The performance gains of that GPU will be from the larger core count and faster clock speed. Almost nothing, including Inventor, is set up or optimized to make use of the new RTX real-time ray tracing features of the GTX 20x0 series. So while it is "future proof" the advanced features which differentiate from the previous generation won't be a factor for another release or two (or three).

I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am that the AU class is being used to definitively answer these valid questions. It might help if I try and provide time stamps for the video to save people having to skip through 90 minutes worth of lots of info, so you can jump right to the right bits.
As per all the above, you'll see no performance gains from having the Turing generation but it's a good idea to buy the latest generation for other things you might end up needing the PC for. It's highly unlikely, arguably almost guaranteed that the Inventor team will never implement real time ray tracing into Inventor but going for the latest generation might be beneficial for other stuff.
Now if we could just them to cut out of Inventor the Studio code and replace it with ShowCase code....

I was wondering if the rtx 2070 is supported in autodesk inventor. The reason why I ask this question is because I am building a computer. My dad is planing to buy a 3d printer so I can invest my time in it. The reason why I chose the rtx 2070 is to game and do autodesk since it has ray tracing.
Autodesk products do have ray tracing but its cpu based not gpu
the only autodesk product that i know of that will take advantage of the new ray tracing engine is Arnold which is not available for inventor its only available for Maya & 3ds Max
even with games there is limited support of the new ray tracing engine that will take advantage of these new cards
