Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super Review
Nvidia is releasing three new graphics cards this month as part of the GeForce RTX Superfamily. The RTX 2070 Super is a rocket at its price point, providing near-GeForce RTX 2080-level speeds at a significantly lower price. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super delivers improved performance at a cheaper price, making it a far more appealing option for more everyday customers. Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 2070 Super dominates for smooth 4K play at 60Hz and high-refresh gameplay at 1440p, with near-RTX 2080 performance and identical specs. It’s a terrific card for the money.
Features and Chipset:
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super expands on Nvidia’s proven Turing architecture, making it even more accessible to the general public. The card contains 8GB of VRAM clocked at 14Gbps and a 1,770MHz boost clock for faster rates. It is still quite large, necessitating the use of a motherboard with additional PCIe support.
Building a Better RTX 2070:
The costs of Nvidia’s GeForce RTX graphics cards were welcomed with “oohs” and “ahhs” when they were initially announced in August of last year. The most expensive RTX cards were significantly more expensive than the usual. GeForce RTX cards account for fewer than 3% of the total pool of cards used by gamers, according to the Steam Hardware Survey. Nvidia has launched the “Super” range of graphics cards, which will be 15% quicker than their non-Super counterparts, according to the company. This is the company’s second attempt to persuade gamers that investing in RTX in 2019 is worthwhile.
Performance:
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super outperforms the standard GeForce RTX 2070. It can routinely run above 70 frames per second for most of the first section of games like Metro Exodus and Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 1440p. While it isn’t perfect for 4K gaming, something better suited to the recently introduced RTX 2080 Super, which was released on July 23, could be a great graphics card.
Real-World Gaming:
On Far Cry 5 and Far Cry Primal, the GeForce RTX 2070 Super apes a near-RTX 2080 Founders Edition, while only missing AMD’s Radeon VII in each game. Frame rates in Apex Legends, CS: GO, and Rainbow Six: Siege remained above the coveted 120Hz or 144Hz mark for high-refresh monitors at 1080p. We won’t mention Final Fantasy XV’s battering of AMD cards because it always favors Nvidia cards.
Using our test settings, all three cards surpassed the coveted 144Hz limit (even at 4K resolution), and each also managed to cleanly surpass 240Hz at 1080p. The engine is regarded as one of the most well-optimized in all of PC gaming, making it simple to spot big differences between one card’s abilities and those of another. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super is a stylish graphics card designed for games like Rainbow Six: Siege and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
Pros:
- It’s a silent machine.
- With RT and Tensor cores, future-proofing is assured.
- 1440p gaming with ray tracing and more CUDA cores.
- Founders Edition is less expensive than the original 2070.
Cons:
- The Founders Edition card is still quite pricey.
Conclusion:
Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 2070 Super dominates for smooth 4K play at 60Hz and high-refresh gameplay at 1440p, with near-RTX 2080 performance and identical specs. It’s a terrific card for the money.
