RTX 2060 vs RTX 2070 [Benchmarked & Tested]

Currently, the best graphics cards you can find are from the RTX 3000 and RX 6000 lineup. What if you want a card that is less expensive, but that also has ray tracing support? Both the RTX 2070 and RTX 2060 are exceptional candidates but the GPU you should choose will depend on your individual needs.

In this article, we will weigh in on the RTX 2060 vs. RTX 2070 debate and help you figure out which graphics card is a better choice for you.

If you’re looking to build a gaming rig or to upgrade your existing PC with a new GPU, you probably have a budget in mind to get the performance you want. However, there has recently been an interesting trend in the GPU market, especially on NVIDIA’s side, where the price points are spread apart more than the performance marks.

It might initially seem like a no-brainer to go with the RTX 2070, simply because the model number is higher. If you dig a little deeper and notice the difference in price, it might further encourage you to choose that GPU. Even so, there are some points that you should consider before making a decision.

Table of ContentsShow

Specification

As their names suggest, both of these GPUs come from NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 20 line, and both are made using the 12nm manufacturing process which is an optimized 14nm node from TSMC. They also both have 10.8 billion transistors and their die size is identical at 445 mm2. That, for the most part, is where the similarities end.

Let’s take a look at some technical specifications for both GPUs and analyze where the differences lie and why some specs matter more than others.

Model Name	Shader Processors	Texture Mapping Units	Render Output Units	Ray Tracing Cores	Tensor Cores
GeForce RTX 2060	1920	122	48	30	240
GeForce RTX 2070	2304	144	65	36	288

Shader Processors and Texture Mapping Units

It might seem that roughly 400 more shader processors will make the RTX 2070 a lot better at the shading process, but the truth is that this is not enough to make a noticeable difference. It’s true that shading will be a tougher job for the RTX 2060 than the RTX 2070, but this isn’t enough to make a meaningful difference to performance.

However, the difference is greater in the number of texture mapping units. Although the RTX 2070 is stronger, it’s very important to note that even their score of 144 is not at the level of many other cards in the same price range. The RTX 2060 ranks the lowest in this category in its tier of our GPU hierarchy and it is much closer to the tier below.

Basically, while there’s some difference between these two in this department, neither can really be proud of their texture mapping units.

The RTX 2070 shines more in its number of ROPs and its number of ray tracing cores. Both of these are directly responsible for greater output and, when all of these little benefits are combined, there’s a clear advantage.

Tensor Cores

Another disadvantage of the RTX 2060 is its number of tensor cores. However, neither of these GPUs is truly powerful enough to take advantage of ray tracing. Fortunately, NVIDIA’s upscaling solution, DLSS 2.0 is starting to gain a lot of traction, allowing users with RTX GPUs to see a lot more FPS in games.

Games that have implemented DLSS version 2.0 enjoy a significant increase in performance while maintaining image quality. In fact, some games even manage to improve image quality with DLSS enabled.

Despite the RTX 3000 series coming in strong with its number of tensor cores, the improvement in ray tracing or DLSS is minimal or non-existent.

The slight difference in RT cores is almost negligible when compared to the powerhouse that is the RTX 2080 Ti. Still, both of these GPUs offer ray tracing, which is currently something that few GPUs out there can claim.

Model	L2 Cache (MB)	Base core clock (MHz)	Boost core clock (MHz)	Memory Size (GB)	Bandwidth (GB/s)	Bus width (bits)
RTX 2060	3	1365	1680	6	336	192
RTX 2070	4	1410	1620	8	448	256

Core Clocks

As there is only a slight disparity in the amount of cache memory, it’s tempting to think that it doesn’t matter much. However, specifically, the L2 cache is vital for computing speed. The RTX 2070 is in line with every other RTX 20 series GPU, with the exception of the mammoth 5.5 for the RTX 2080 Ti, and even crazier 6 MB for the Titan RTX.

The next interesting point of comparison is clock speed. The base core clock metric doesn’t offer many surprises in favor of the RTX 2070, but boost clock will certainly draw more attention. This is the only number that gives an advantage to the RTX 2060, but this can be deceiving.

If every other metric in this RTX 2060 vs RTX 2070 comparison was equal, then the 2060’s boost clock might be advantageous, but that simply isn’t the case. The reason why this metric matters less is that there are several different factors involved for the RTX 2060 to achieve that 1680 MHz burst, and that will not happen often.

Next is the area where the RTX 2070 dominates and removes any doubt about which card is better. They both use GDDR6 which was the standard at the time of their release, but the advantages in size, bandwidth and bus width make the RTX 2070 a far better choice for tasks such as 4K gaming and video editing.

Neither GPU supports NVLink nor SLI, so those offer no room for performance improvement. Game or driver support for SLI is almost completely gone, so it’s never really a good idea to go down that path, even if it is available.

Gaming Performance

The reason why people choose a powerful GPU is to have a more enjoyable gaming experience. If you are worried that you won’t be able to get a top-notch performance out of either the RTX 2060 or RTX 2070, you would be wrong. Below is a good comparison video of how both of these GPUs perform in relatively modern games.

With a simple eye test, we can see that a roughly 10% difference is noticeable, but it also depends on the specific game. The gap is far smaller in games with linear level design. It was somewhat expected that the RTX 2060 would perform better in those types of games, but it’s also interesting that the RTX 2070 doesn’t increase its performance there.

Below is a more comprehensive test that highlights the FPS performance of the RTX 2060 when compared to the RTX 2070.

As expected, there is a noticeable difference across the board. It’s also important to note that the outliers don’t make things look good for the RTX 2060. In contrast, the RTX 2070 has a clear advantage in the spec section and it outperforms its opponent in the gaming performance department as well.

Dollar Value

It’s time for the RTX 2060 to finally show why it’s a worthy contender to be your next GPU. At $349, it’s significantly cheaper than the RTX 2070, which retails at $499. While the RTX 2070 is undoubtedly the better card, it is also approximately 30% more expensive, while only bringing a 10-15% improvement in terms of performance. That should really be the deciding factor when choosing between these two.

Another point of interest is the 2060’s 165W power need which is below the 2070’s 185W. This translates to the former needing a 500W PSU, while the latter needs to bump it up to 550W. This power consumption might seem less significant but, when it comes to the choice of needing to upgrade your PSU to accommodate your GPU, it’s definitely better to go with a lower-consuming card.

However, it’s probably important to consider the fact that the RTX 2070 was discontinued pretty quickly, which means you might struggle to find a new one on the market. Your only options for a 2070 might be on the second-hand market.

RTX 2060 vs RTX 2070: The Verdict

Overall, it’s plain to see that the RTX 2070 is the superior card in this head to head, but the debate should really lie in the performance-per-dollar metric. In this category, the RTX 2060 is simply a better choice. If you’re looking for superior performance, then the RTX 2070 is the smarter option.

However, if you’re willing to spend $500 for a GPU, it might be better to compare the price points of the RTX 2070 and RTX 2070 Super. If you’re on a tighter budget, it will probably be a better choice to go for the RTX 2060.

If you’re willing to wait a while longer, the RTX 3000 series’ mid-range and budget options easily outperform both the RTX 2060 and RTX 2070.

The long time coming GeForce RTX Super graphics cards are here and without wasting any time, let’s take a look at the specs and pricing to see what we’re dealing with.

The new RTX 2060 Super is coming in at $400, a small price premium over existing non-Super models. For that 14% bump in price you receive a significant upgrade in terms of specs, though at first glance that may not appear to be the case. We’re receiving a small 13% boost in CUDA cores, however we also see a massive 33% increase in ROPs and this extends the 192-bit wide memory bus of the original RTX 2060 to 256-bit wide for the Super version.

Because the same 14 Gbps GDDR6 memory is used, the bandwidth has increased by 33% to 448 GB/s, so then the RTX 2060 Super has the same memory subsystem as the RTX 2070 and 2070 Super, and this means it gets 8GB of VRAM. Essentially it’s a slightly cut down version of the 2070 as both use TU106 silicon.

The new RTX 2060 Super is a slightly cut down version of the original RTX 2070 as both use TU106 silicon. Meanwhile, the RTX 2070 Super is a boosted version of the original for the same price.

The RTX 2070 Super comes in at the same $500 price point as the original, effectively replacing this part and you can expect vanilla 2070s to be phased out shortly. For the same money we’re getting an 11% upgrade in CUDA cores and 28% more Texture Units while the ROP count remains the same.

We see a reasonable 9% increase in boost clocks for the core, but given most cards are factory overclocked this will have little impact on performance. Finally, the memory configuration remains the same, 8GB of GDDR6 memory with data rate of 14 GBps for a bandwidth of 448 GB/s. Unlike the standard 2070 which uses TU106 silicon, the Super version has been upgraded to TU104, the same silicon used by the RTX 2080.

The RTX 2060 Super looks to be a rather substantial upgrade over the base model, but you’re paying a bit more. While the 2070 Super looks to be a similar upgrade over the 2070, but in this case you’re getting that extra performance at no added cost. I guess it’s the extra memory that Nvidia’s stinging gamers for with the 2060 Super.

There will also be an RTX 2080 Super and that model is going to slot in at the same $700 price point (same as the original) and arrive later, in July 23. Nvidia has teased it’ll have 15.5 Gbps GDDR6 memory and it will be faster than the Titan Xp. We don’t expect it to reach 2080 Ti levels of performance but it should be a nice boost overall nonetheless, again, for the same price.

For testing the RTX 2070 Super and RTX 2060 Super we’ve used a Core i9-9900K clocked at 5 GHz with 32GB of DDR4-3400 memory. The latest drivers available at the time of testing have been used and all the data was gathered fresh for this review. We have 12 games to look at before the usual performance breakdowns and cost per frame data. Let’s get into the results.

Benchmarks

First up we have Battlefield V and here we see the 2070 Super bridging the gap between the 2070 and 2080, not a massive performance boost but not bad either. The Radeon VII is still 18% faster in this title, but it does cost at least 36% more, I suspect the 2070 Super is going to cause more pain for AMD’s current flagship GPU.

Meanwhile the RTX 2060 Super looks… adequate. It was 9% faster than the RTX 2060 in this title and while that had it nipping at the 2070’s heals and ahead of Vega 56, that’s not exactly an exciting result given it costs 14% more, but I guess there is some utility in having that extra VRAM.

This time when testing with Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege the RTX 2070 Super is closer to the 2080 than it is the 2070 and it also comfortably beat the older GTX 1080 Ti, so a very solid result here. We should also note that it comfortably beat AMD’s Radeon VII, too.

The 2060 Super was 16% slower than the 2070 Super with an average of 111 fps and this placed it a little behind the standard 2070. Another instance of a good but not particularly impressive result given the increase in price.

Moving on we have Metro Exodus, here the 2070 Super was nipping at the heels of the Radeon VII, falling short by just a few frames per second. This also meant it was much closer to the RTX 2080 than it was the 2070. Then we see the 2060 Super outpacing the standard 2060 by a 10% margin to deliver 2070-like performance.

Testing with Resident Evil 2 has the RTX 2070 Super right on the Radeon VII’s tail again and sitting right between the 2070 and 2080. The 2060 Super is a smidgen slower than the 2070, but faster than Vega 64, so another 10% performance boost over the standard 2060.

The 2060 Super is a little more impressive in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, beating the 2060 by a 13% margin and this made it quite a bit faster than Vega 64. Meanwhile the 2070 Super matched the GTX 1080 Ti and was just a few frames slower than the RTX 2080, so a very solid result there.

Fortnite isn’t a great title for AMD. The RTX 2060 Super is just 5 fps down on the much more expensive Radeon VII. The 2070 Super was quite a bit slower than the RTX 2080, but it had no trouble brushing the Radeon VII aside, beating it by an 11% margin.

The Division 2 results look pretty typical given what we’ve seen so far. The 2060 Super is 10% faster than the standard model and the 2070 Super is 14% faster than the standard model. This made the 2070 Super faster than Vega 64 while the 2070 Super was faster than the Radeon VII.

The Radeon GPUs fair much better in DiRT Rally 2 and here the 2060 Super is only able to match Vega 64 and was just 5% faster than Vega 56 which is now selling for around $300. The 2070 Super was just 7% slower than the Radeon VII, so it fares better in this comparison.

Here we have another racing simulator in Forza Horizon 4 and coincidentally this is another great title for AMD. The Radeon VII streaks ahead of the 2070 Super, making Nvidia’s new $500 offering 17% slower. The 2060 Super is also done in by Vega 56, losing by a 10% margin.

Moving on to some Far Cry New Dawn testing and here we see the 2060 Super right behind the 2070 while the 2070 Super is right behind the 2080. This means the 2060 Super was able to match Vega 64 but the 2070 Super was 8% slower than the Radeon VII.

In World War Z the RTX 2060 Super couldn’t keep pace with Vega 56, while the Radeon VII was significantly faster than the 2070 Super. Still relative to Nvidia’s own product stack these new Super versions performed quite well.

Finally we have Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey… here the 2060 Super was 11% faster than the standard 2060 which is typical based on what we’ve seen so far. Meanwhile the 2070 Super was 10% faster than the standard 2070 and this put it right on the tail of the 2080 and 1080 Ti. So that’s going to do it for the gaming benchmarks, let’s move on to check out power consumption.

Power Consumption

Looking at GPU consumption first we see that the RTX 2060 Super is very efficient, consuming only 5% more power than the standard 2060 and just 2% or 4 watts more than the Radeon RX 590.

The RTX 2070 Super jumped up to 198 watts and that made it 11% more power hungry than the 2060 Super. Still it was considerably more fuel efficient than the Radeon competition, consuming 20% less power than the Radeon VII.

However once we factor in the entire system draw those margins are reduced substantially. Now the 2070 Super consumes just 10% less power than the Radeon VII. There are some interesting changes here when measuring power draw from the wall. Vega 64 jumps well ahead of the RTX 2080 Ti, in the GPU test it consumed slightly less power.

The reason for this change is that we’re now including the power draw of the graphics card as well as other components such as the CPU, which has to work harder when paired with certain GPUs, typically the more powerful models. Anyway, the Super variants slot in exactly where you’d expect them to in terms of power usage.

Overclocking

Moving on into operating frequencies, temperatures, fan speeds and a little overclocking. Out of the box the RTX 2060 Super Founders Edition ran at 70C with a fan speed of just 1650 RPM, so it was virtually silent. The GPU maintained an average operating frequency of 1815 MHz after an hour-long loop of the F1 2018 benchmark.

Overclocked our sample was able to sustain 2010 MHz after the hour long test and this saw the operating temperature increase to 75C with a fan speed of 1900 RPM, so a pretty typical 11% overclock for a Turing based GPU.

Moving on to the 2070 Super and we see out of the box the Founders Edition model peaked at just 68 degrees with a fan speed of 1600 RPM, and this allowed it to maintain an operating frequency of 1890 MHz.

Overclocked our sample maintained an operating frequency of 1980 MHz. During the first few minutes of the test it was running at over 2 GHz but after about 5 minutes began throttling down and by the end of the hour sustained 1980 MHz which is a mere 5% overclock. The card was only running at 71C with a fan speed of 1700 RPM, so it was incredibly quiet.

Performance Summary

With all that performance data behind us, let’s make full sense of it. For that we have a few performance breakdown charts, head to head comparisons, and then we’ll check out our cost per frame graph.

RTX 2060 Super vs. RTX 2070

As you can now guess, the RTX 2060 Super is only slightly slower than the original GeForce RTX 2070. For the most part ~4% slower with the only game where performance was a match being Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

RTX 2060 Super vs. RTX 2060

When compared to the standard 2060 the new super duper version was 9% faster on average, though we are comparing it to MSI’s Gaming Z version. Nvidia suggests the Super model should be 15% faster to a regular clocked version, though either way it’s not an overly impressive boost given you also have to pay 14% more for it.

RTX 2060 Super vs. Radeon Vega 56

A less favorable scenario for the new 2060 Super is seen when compared to AMD’s Vega 56 which can be had for less than $300 now. Surely that GPU is on the way out, but at least in the short term it delivers good value.

RTX 2070 Super vs. RTX 2080

Moving on to the 2070 Super, on average it was a mere 7% slower than the much more expensive RTX 2080, effectively eliminating that part as the 2070 Super is almost 30% cheaper. At least relative to existing RTX parts the 2070 Super does look like a good deal.

RTX 2070 Super vs. RTX 2070

On average you’re getting 12% more performance for the same price, it’s not an amazing deal but it revives the RTX 2070 as a true contender.

RTX 2070 Super vs. Radeon VII

The 2070 Super is just 4% slower on average than the 7nm Radeon. Considering it will set you back far less (26% savings) the 2070 Super effectively kills the Radeon VII as it was never more than 17% slower. Without a price cut the Radeon VII can be declared dead at this point.

Cost per Frame and Closing Remarks

Running a true cost per frame analysis can be a little tricky at launch since cards can be more expensive initially until things settle, and full discounts on older models are not realized until later as well. For that reason we’re running an MSRP comparison before we look at the current asking prices. Don’t focus on this data too much as it can be misleading, but we wanted to compare MSRPs first as it shows where we came from with the Pascal generation.

Here we see the 2060 Super costs $4.59 per frame and that makes the GTX 1070 24% more costly, which sounds good for Turing, but remember the GTX 1070 is a 3 year old product. While that is progress, it’s not a lot of progress. We should note that the 2060 Super is 30% faster than the GTX 1070, but it’s also 5% more expensive.

The 2070 Super on the other hand comes out at a cost of $4.90 per frame, so it’s 16% faster than the 2060 Super but only costs 7% more per frame, making it the better value option. This also means the GTX 1080 Ti cost 33% more per frame, so not a bad result for the 2070 Super comparing it to a now 2 year old product.

Now let’s compare the MSRP of the 2060 Super and 2070 Super to the current market prices of competing products. For this we’ve removed the end of production Pascal parts as new models are overpriced.

Here we see that the 2060 Super remains a worse value than the 2060 since you can buy some models for a slight discount at $330. Worse still, you can get Vega 56 for just $270 right now and that makes the 2060 Super 35% more costly per frame. Having said that, keep in mind those Vega 56 deals aren’t available in all regions.

Thankfully the 2070 Super is better value than the 2070. An 8% discount per frame is not exactly a cause for celebration but it does manage to one-punch knock out the Radeon VII and RTX 2080 graphics cards, so there’s that.

Wrap Up

In case it isn’t obvious, this is Nvidia’s attempt to steal AMD’s thunder as they launch Navi next week. In our opinion they could have given us a lot more, but perhaps they don’t need to.

We are obliged to ignore AMD’s Navi from the equation as we’re under NDA with cards sitting on the test bench right now… so ignoring Navi, it’s fair to say this ~12-month refresh from Nvidia is somewhat underwhelming, but maybe we won’t really know how pricing plays out until GPUs from both camps are fighting it out in the street in the weeks to come.

The RTX 2070 Super is good, it kills off the Radeon VII at its current price and does the same to the RTX 2080. So you’re almost getting $700 performance for $500, almost. There’s also no better deal to be had at this price point and that’s why we need AMD to step it up a notch, or ten.

We’re definitely more excited about the RTX 2070 Super’s prospects than the 2060 Super. Price to performance the 2060 Super is technically better value, but you expect that with lower end parts. The new 2060 Super is more costly than the original for a small boost in performance, though you do get that extra 2GB of VRAM.

The Founders Edition cards we tested ran cool and very quiet, the build quality is excellent and they look nice. But perhaps most exciting of all, this time around you don’t have to pay a premium for the FE models, you can get them at the base MSRP making them worthy of our recommendation.

For a very quick explanation of what’s happening, NVIDIA has binned-out its chips to help with cost management of the relatively large Turing dies. The RTX 2070 will now run 5 or 6 GPCs by spec, varying from die-to-die. The fact that it’s “5 or 6” tells us that this is a matter of binning based on defects. As with all silicon manufacturing, some percentage of silicon will be defective. NVIDIA is taking TU104 GPUs that may have otherwise failed validation for an RTX 2080 and is instead turning them into 2070 Supers, which means that more chips will pass validation for this product SKU than might have for a 2080. The 2080 has 46 streaming multiprocessors, or functional cores, each of which has its own hardware within, like FP32 and INT units. The 2070 Super has 40 SMs, so cutting 6 but boosting the clock speeds from 1710MHz boost to 1770MHz boost means that performance should be close in most comparisons, as you’ll see in our benchmarks today. That “5 or 6” number means that the functional SMs will move around the die based upon what passed in validation, so this isn’t going to be some artificial limit that NVIDIA set, it’s actually based on yields for the dies. If it were artificially locked, they’d all be set 5 or 6 GPCs, not either 5 or 6 per card. This is an optimization in manufacturing process that allows NVIDIA to better min-max its price-to-performance on Super versus the base models. Clocks do the rest.

UPDATE: NVIDIA has made a last-minute change (literally made within hours of the review going up). While some of the 2070 Supers will have «5 or 6» GPCs, the company decided to only fuse them off to 6 GPCs going forward, so that «5» number should be pretty rare to encounter after the initial batch, if ever.

Opening our card up revealed that these were assembled on May 31, so when considering shipping timelines, holidays, and Computex, these haven’t been in existence for very long. The board design is the same, so the RTX 2070 Super card uses the same PCB layout as the RTX 2080, which means that existing water blocks will fit, albeit with the wrong name plate. More on this in our upcoming tear-down video.

Let’s get into the testing. We have all new testing today.

Test Methodology

We have overhauled the host test bench and had updated with new games. Our games selection is a careful one: Time is finite, and having analyzed our previous testing methodologies, we identified shortcomings where we were ultimately wasting time by testing too many games that didn’t provide meaningfully different data from our other tested titles. In order to better optimize our time available and test “smarter” (rather than “more,” which was one of our previous goals), we have selected games based upon the following criteria:

Game Engine: Most games run on the same group of popular engines. By choosing one game from each major engine (e.g. Unreal Engine), we can ensure that we are representing a wide sweep of games that just use the built-in engine-level optimizations

API: We have chosen a select group of DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 API integrations, as these are the most prevalent at this time. We will include more Vulkan API testing as more games ship with Vulkan

Popularity: Is it something people actually play?

Longevity: Regardless of popularity, how long can we reasonably expect that a game will go without updates? Updating games can hurt comparative data from past tests, which impacts our ability to cross-compare new data and old, as old data may no longer be comparable post-patch

Game graphics settings are defined in their respective charts.

We are also testing most games at all three popular resolutions – at least, we are for the high-end. This includes 4K, 1440p, and 1080p, which allows us to determine GPU scalability across multiple monitor types. More importantly, this allows us to start pinpointing the reason for performance uplift, rather than just saying there is performance uplift. If we know that performance boosts harder at 4K than 1080p, we might be able to call this indicative of a ROPs advantage, for instance. Understanding why performance behaves the way it does is critical for future expansion of our own knowledge, and thus prepares our content for smarter analysis in the future.

For the test bench proper, we are now using the following components:

All memory timings are completely controlled for our new GPU testing, which has significantly tightened our error margins. Windows is version 1903. Note that some games, like GTA V and Hitman 2, have been manually tuned outside of a simple preset to ensure we have a proper benchmark. GTA V uses 2x MSAA in our testing, as it runs into engine frame limits at 187.5FPS and triggers engine-level bugs. Hitman 2 has crowd simulation and sound simulation settings that we tune back to the 4-core setting, as running higher than that creates a CPU bottleneck (and more of a CPU benchmark, as a result).

NVIDIA RTX Super Frequency Scaling

We’ll start with frequency plots so that we can better illustrate NVIDIA’s changes. Most of the changes are lower-level activations on SMs and parts of GPCs, but some of it is frequency tuning. This first chart shows frequency over a 30-minute 3DMark burn-in for the RTX 2070 Super. The Super has a nearly perfectly flat line, which is ideal. We don’t see lines like this typically unless it’s a good partner cooler; typically, the line will fluctuate, kind of like the 2070 Black line on this chart, because of bouncing off of power, thermal, or voltage limits. The 2070 Super is nearly perfectly flat and averages at 1890MHz. The fall-off at the beginning is a result from temperature ramp from under 40 degrees to about 70 degrees Celsius, and Boost behavior means we see fall-off as this ramps. The 2070 XC Ultra partner model still has a higher frequency, but won’t perform as well as the 2070 Super due to hardware-level differences.

As for the 2060 Super’s frequency, that trends lower than the 2060 Founders Edition, but occasionally spikes above it. The additional hardware enabled on the chip pushes a higher thermal density and causes spikier frequency behavior under the smaller cooler, although the overall frequency is still very stable. We see it averaging at about 1845MHz versus the 1875MHz of the 2060 FE. Fan RPM is still the same as the 2070 Super at 3700RPM and hits the same 1700RPM range under an auto load due to thermal targets. More on this later. Let’s get into games next.

Sniper Elite 4 – NVIDIA RTX 2060 Super & 2070 Super Benchmarks

Sniper Elite 4 remains one of our most-used games as a benchmark, always because of its excellent reliability and good DirectX 12 and asynchronous compute implementations. Both teach us about how graphics architectures handle modern games. We’ll get to the other Dx12 and Vulkan games freshly added after this.

For Sniper Elite 4 testing, used at 4K to produce a bit of a synthetic load for better review usability, we found the RTX 2060 Super card performs at 68FPS AVG, with lows well-spaced at 59FPS 1% and 54FPS 0.1%. This is more a testament to the game, at this point. The 2060 non-Super FE card runs the same workload at 57FPS AVG, allowing the Super card a massive gain of 20%. Both cards were freshly retested on the newest drivers. This jump is from the gains in compute performance from unlocked hardware on the 2060 Super and is nothing to do with the memory.

The RTX 2070 Super ends up at 79FPS AVG, putting it about on par within an RTX 2080. The 2080 FE, for reference, was at about 84FPS, although we’ve placed the cheaper Gigabyte model as we think it’s a more realistic representation of what people actually buy. They’re about the same and within error. The Super and 2080 differences exit error, but are perceptually the same. This allows Radeon VII a lead of about 6.5% over the 2070 Super, although the Super is priced at $500 and Radeon VII still runs at about $680 on a good day. At this point, it’s difficult to impossible to justify Radeon VII for gaming uses. If you’re curious about its uses in workstation applications where the 16GB framebuffer might get utilized, we have a separate GPU workstation video you can check out for that. In gaming, though, Radeon VII simply looks bad when compared to the new 2070 Super, which also is positioned about 20% ahead of the original EVGA RTX 2070 Black, which was the cheaper non-A model of the 2070 – the one that shipped actually at MSRP, as opposed to the A-binned ones with a higher clock. The RTX 2060 Super outpaces the RTX 2070 Black card in this test. For reference, we included the 2070 XC Ultra more expensive A-bin model, which ranks at 71FPS AVG and equals an overclocked 2060 Super. We won’t include this data going forward as we’re more interested in comparing at actual MSRP, but you can find it in our older GPU reviews.

Strange Brigade – RTX 2060 & 2070 vs. 2060 Super & 2070 Super

Our next test is new. The game is Strange Brigade, made by the same people who made Sniper. This game was chosen because it leverages both Vulkan and DirectX 12, and so we tested with both APIs. We’ll first look at performance with the Vulkan API, an important and underrepresented API in the market, and we’ll then do a performance scaling comparison against DirectX 12.

With Vulkan and tested at 1440p/Ultra, the RTX 2060 Super places at 117FPS AVG, with lows again well-timed. This positions it as ahead of the overclocked and undervolted Vega 56 card’s 110FPS AVG, but also ahead of the 2060 FE’s 101FPS AVG. The latter is surpassed by 16%. The 2060 Super therefore ends up near the non-A SKU RTX 2070 MSRP model, priced at about $480 these days. Overclocking Super puts it just below an overclocked RTX 2070, which still performs well when manually boosted, despite the non-A die. The 2060 Super and 2070 are functionally equal in this testing, especially with the OC. Finally, NVIDIA starts to look like it got the message on price: We beat NVIDIA over the head with its own 1080 Ti when the RTX cards launched, primarily pointing toward the generational price creep for equivalent performance. Now, with the 2070 Super stock card slightly better than the 1080 Ti, and with a price of $500 to the 1080 Ti’s $700 to $800 range, it’s finally starting to look better.

As for an overclock on the 2070 Super, it ends up past the stock RTX 2080 and about equal with an overclocked Radeon VII, although Radeon VII’s 0.1% lows are marginally better; note though that 0.1% low error margins are wider than averages. NVIDIA’s compute improvements for Turing chip away at an advantage AMD previously had, chewing Radeon VII’s lead over the 2070 Super down to just 4%. Radeon VII isn’t even meant to compete with a $500 2070 refresh, it’s meant to compete with the 2080. Things aren’t looking good for gaming use cases for the card.

At 4K with Vulkan, AMD architecture scales a bit better and puts the R7 ahead of the 2070 Super by 16%. This isn’t to do with memory capacity, but instead with memory bandwidth and GCN tripping over itself at higher CU counts with workloads that don’t match the architecture’s capabilities properly. As for the stars of the show today, the 2060 Super ends up at 67FPS AVG, leading the 2060 FE’s 55FPS AVG by 20%. The 2070 Super roughly matches the 2080, allowing the 2080 a slight lead.

Moving on from these tests and into a scaling comparison, we get something really interesting and unique to our new test methods. Contrary to our expectations, AMD actually does better with DirectX 12 in this game, as does Pascal. It appears the older architectures prefer Strange Brigade’s Dx12 implementation. We saw roughly 4% higher performance with Radeon VII on Dx12, resulting in a jump from 141FPS to about 147FPS AVG. The NVIDIA Turing cards do better on Vulkan, sometimes significantly so. We see a bigger jaunt with the low-ish end RTX 2060 and 2070 Black than others, but even the 2080 Ti saw a 5% jump.

GTA V – Radeon VII vs. RTX 2070 Super

We have more Dx12 tests to get through, but it’d be good to first visit the third major graphics API: GTA V gives us a long-standing look at a traditionally built Dx11 game and features the many abstraction layers that once inhibited hardware.

At 1080p, 2060 Super ends up at 128FPS AVG, positioned roughly tied with the overclocked 2060 FE at 127FPS AVG. The lead over the stock 2060 FE’s 119FPS AVG is about 7.5%. The 2070 Super measures at 138FPS AVG, putting it slightly ahead of Radeon VII and about 4.6% ahead of the 2070 Black. Between this result and the GTA V results, we see closer performance between the Super and non-Super cards. This is because GTA V is more frequency intensive, so the 2060 Super and 2070 Super are primarily deriving gains from the frequency rather than from the additional SMs. Overclocking the 2070 Super puts it at about 2080 levels of performance, further reinforcing that frequency matters more than the additional SMs in this title. AMD has historically done poorly in GTA V, demonstrated by Vega 56’s lackluster performance and near-equivalence with a GTX 1070.

1440p shows more of the same: An overclocked 2070 Super is roughly equivalent to a 2080 stock card, a 2070 Super stock card lands between Radeon VII stock and overclocked results, and an overclocked 2060 Super is roughly equivalent to Radeon VII stock while outperforming the non-A SKU 2070 Black.

Just quickly, at 4K, the RTX 2080 holds a lead of about 9% over the 2070 Super when stock, but overclocking ties them up; obviously, you could then overclock the 2080 to keep that distance. The 2060 Super ends up at 51FPS AVG, which roughly ties it with the previous RTX 2070 Black card.

F1 2018 – NVIDIA Super Benchmarks

We’ll look at another DirectX 11 game next, then back to Dx12.

F1 2018 at 1080p positions the 2070 Super at 159FPS AVG, which is between the Radeon VII and 1080 Ti FTW3. Overclocking Super puts it just below the RTX 2080, with the RTX 2080 Ti useful primarily to illustrate that we aren’t hitting a CPU bottleneck with the 2070 Super and 2080. The 2060 Super ties with the 2070 Black, and the 2060 FE overclocked is just below the 2060 Super. Overall, the 2070 Super stock carries a lead of 16% over the 2070 Black, with the 2060 Super stock carrying a lead of 13% over the stock 2060 FE at 120FPS AVG.

At 1440p, the stack remains largely the same: AMD GCN architecture has always posted stronger low performance in this game than the others, and that’s illustrated again with Radeon VII’s frametime consistency. By averages, the 2070 Super is functionally tied with Radeon VII, but Radeon VII’s frametimes are more consistent. That said, it’s also about $180 more expensive. The 2080 holds a lead of 7.6% over the 2070 Super, which is a gap closed when overclocking the 2070 Super. The 2060 Super is roughly tied with the 2070 Black.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider Benchmarks – RTX 2060 Super vs. RTX 2060, 2070 Super

Shadow of the Tomb Raider with Dx12 puts the RTX 2070 Super at 126FPS AVG with very consistent frametime performance, positioned ahead of Radeon VII in both averages and lows and nearing the 1080 Ti. The RTX 2080 still manages to hold a lead of 8% over the 2070 Super card. The 2060 Super ties with the 2070 Black and 2060 FE overclocked cards, but holds a lead of 10% over the stock 2060 FE.

At 1440p, the scaling remains similar, so we won’t repeat all of that. More importantly, the 2060 Super is well-equipped to play this game at 1440p with High settings, running at 73FPS AVG and again tying the non-A SKU 2070. The 2060 FE can also manage, but the Super card holds a lead of 11%, which may justify the $50 price tag.

We also decided to check 4K. At 4K, the 2070 Super holds at 50FPS, with an overclock allowing it to push 55FPS AVG. This could be made do-able at 60FPS with some settings reductions, like by dropping a few GPU-intensive settings to medium while leaving GPU memory-intensive settings, like texture resolution, at higher qualities. The 2060 Super’s 41FPS AVG and 44FPS OC mostly relegate it to 1440p and below for Tomb Raider.

Hitman 2 Benchmarks – DirectX 12 vs.

DirectX 11

Hitman 2 is up next. For this one, we’re testing both DirectX 12 and DirectX 11 to illustrate how each architecture scales APIs, similar to Strange Brigade. Note that we turn down the CPU binding settings (like crowd simulation and audio simulation), as running them maxed will result in a hard CPU bottleneck and therefore less usefulness for GPU testing.

First, at 1080p and with Dx12, the RTX 2070 Super stock card ends up at 124FPS AVG, roughly tied with AMD’s Radeon VII when overclocked. The 2070 Super additionally maintains better low performance and frametime consistency. Overclocking the 2070 Super puts it about where an RTX 2080 or 1080 Ti place when stock. The 2060 Super card roughly ties with the 2070 Black, therefore also roughly tying the Radeon VII. For reference, an overclocked 2060 Super at 113FPS manages 92% of the performance of a stock 2070 Super, meaning you could forego the latter for the former and get similar performance, though obviously overclocking the latter would create a wider gap. Note also that Hitman 2’s Dx12 implementation has some serious 0.1% low issues, which is why we originally used Dx11 in our CPU testing before commenters demanded Dx12. Well, this is why we didn’t use it. We now use both for GPU to illustrate the scaling issues.

At 1440p, the RTX 2070 Super manages 91FPS AVG, the 2060 Super holds 76FPS AVG, and the 2060 FE runs at 69FPS AVG. This positions the 2070 Super as a bit better than an overclocked 2070, with an overclocked 2070 Super approaching a 2080 stock card, though not quite there.

Here’s a chart of Hitman 2 with Dx11 and the same settings to compare. Everything in this game performs better with DirectX 11, with the one exception being at the very top-end with the RTX 2080 TI’s averages, although its lows are better with DirectX 11. The stack remains similar otherwise.

To fully illustrate the frametime consistency issue, here’s a 2070 Super card plotted with Dx11 and Dx12 runs in the same test. As you can see, the Dx12 line encounters hard frametime spikes throughout the test, but has an especially hard slam to about 70ms in the middle. This is repeatable and happens in every test, sometimes worse than others. Remember, lower frametimes are better, but it’s more important for them to be more consistent. In this instance of the 2070 Super, Dx11 is both more consistent and lower on average. For all the people who complained about our Dx11 use in Hitman in our CPU tests, this is why we chose it; also, DirectX is a graphics API anyway, but we did end up switching to Dx12 in CPU reviews by popular demand.

RTX 2060 Super & 2070 Super Power Consumption

Our GPU power testing has been completely overhauled. Instead of testing based on total system power draw and taking deltas, we’re now measuring power down the PCIe slot with a custom-built interposer and power at the PCIe cables. We could also measure 3.3V down the PCIe slot, but opted to just look at 12V power for now. At most, 3.3V tends to be about 10W. PCI-SIG allows for roughly 5.5A down the 12V lines in the slot, or about 66W max, plus some overhead for 3. 3V. The total is roughly 75W down the slot. Although total system power consumption has a place, measuring only video card power for a GPU review is much more accurate and reduces our margin of error significantly. It also allows us to directly see how much power the video card takes without the noise of the system, so you can more easily figure out how much extra power you’ll need to account for.

The first set of data is from some synthetic loads, although we also have a few gaming tests. 3DMark’s TimeSpy Extreme gives us a look at a GPU-heavy scenario that is similar in some ways to game execution. The 2060 Super runs at about 164.4W max across 12V. That puts it at about 10W below TDP, and so we clamped 3.3V and found about 9W more power. This puts the 2060 Super at almost exactly NVIDIA’s advertised 175W TDP and also about 10W-15W higher than the 2060 Founders Edition. The extra 4 SMs, more populated GPU, and additional memory modules account for this change. The 2070 Super ran over TDP when running FurMark, although to be fair, that’s a power virus workload. We were about at spec with TimeSpy Extreme, running around 200-205W across 12V for the Super. The other 10W, again, comes from 3.3V. We don’t have a 2070 reference card to test, so matched against the 2070 XC by EVGA, we see power as higher than the RTX 2070 XC card. The 2070 XC lists a TDP of 175W, but this is based upon the reference spec and doesn’t account for EVGA’s changes to the VBIOS and VF tables. The 2070 Super is closer to a 2080 FE in power consumption, which runs about 220-235W. That makes sense, seeing as the 2070 Super uses the same GPU as the RTX 2080 card, just with some binning done and frequency tuning. Overclocking the 2060 Super puts it at about the same power consumption as a 2070 Super, which is something to remember for later. Overclocking the 2070 Super puts it above the RTX 2080 stock power consumption. We also noted a hard spike with FurMark in this configuration, bringing us up to 265W for about 15 seconds of the test, then oscillating down to about 240W, then back up again.

The second dataset is from a real-world gaming scenarios. The RTX 2060 Super operates at 164.4W down 12V for F1 2018 when at both 1440p and 4K, hitting a power hard power limit in VBIOS. Overclocking the 2060 Super puts it at nearing 200W with the 4K test, with the 2070 Super at about 176-200W stock. Again, the 3.3V line accounts for the rest. Overclocking the 2070 Super puts it at around 2080 levels.

RTX 2070 Super Thermals

As for how the cards behave, here’s an RTX 2070 Super with thermocouples placed on the memory and the MOSFETs, giving us a read on the hotspots of the card. Thermocouples give much more accurate measurement than thermal imaging and allow us to test a cooler’s efficiency at its job. During this FurMark burn-in, the GPU temperature measured at about 70 degrees Celsius, which is about what VBIOS tries to target. The hotspot MOSFET measured at about 55 degrees Celsius, which is actually very good for a power component that can take at or beyond 125 degrees. The hotspot memory module we selected measured at around 80 degrees Celsius. This is on the warm side, especially considering that a hot case would push this toward 90 degrees, but it is still acceptable. We’d like to see improvement specifically to NVIDIA’s memory cooling, as using these cards in a closed-off case will easily push it toward the maximum acceptable temperature of about 95 degrees for GDDR6.

As for fan speed at these temperatures, the fans hit around 1700RPM and held there, producing a noise level around roughly 38dBA and 39dBA.

RTX 2060 Super & 2070 Super Founders Edition Noise Levels

Because the 2060 Super and 2070 Super share the same fans and a similar fan curve, the only point that really matters is the RPM of the fans. The RPM will change based on your ambient and case ambient temperature, as VBIOS tries to follow a thermal target and adjust fans accordingly. In an ambient environment of about 22 degrees Celsius, we find that the fans tend to hover at around 1500RPM when idle, which is the minimum fan speed for FE coolers, and that they boost to about 1700RPM in a 22-degree environment to maintain a target of roughly 70C on the cards. Most people will likely operate closer to 30 degrees with a warm case, but the end result is that you can expect auto fan speeds to place the cards around 37-39dBA. This fan curve ramps noise levels a little more aggressively than others as it reaches higher RPMs.

Conclusion

The Super video card launch packs more punch for a refresh than we would typically expect, but it also moves the stack around in interesting ways. The 2060 Super has relatively large gains in performance that put it close to the original RTX 2070 in most instances and the 2070 Super is very nearly a 2080, although not quite. It has moved the 2070 SKU up to a TU-104 die from TU-106, though, and that’s significant.

At this point, we loop back to that same scenario: By pushing the Super cards and shuffling the price stack, even if it were purely competitive, NVIDIA has demonstrated that it has heard concerns. And if it hasn’t heard them, it very minimally has seen AMD’s Navi plans, and one of those two things makes for new products with comparatively lower prices when matched versus the phased-out predecessors.

Whichever path it was, the point is that NVIDIA ends up looking good for bringing higher-performing models down to lower prices, but will inevitably sour recent RTX buyers with a refresh. At some level, buyer’s remorse is silly – new stuff comes out all the time in this industry, and so being mad about a purchase when something new launches just doesn’t make much sense. That said, this is among the shortest refresh windows we’ve ever seen, so that’ll make some early buyers of RTX feel like the beta testers we always said they would be.

Either way, looking at the product in a vacuum of just performance. RTX Super is a compelling launch. It’d have been even better if NVIDIA started here, with RTX-ready games and better prices, but they’re here now. We’re primarily looking at rasterization performance because the RTX story has been told to death, and at this point, it’s just a matter of better implementation that’s more interesting and more widespread. Just for rasterization, performance is competitive against NVIDIA’s own cards, which does spell a difficult launch ahead for AMD’s Navi GPUs. We’ll have to come back to check on those.

Nvidia RTX 2060 Super and RTX 2070 Super Review: RTX Just Got Good

Nvidia’s RTX Super cards are still expensive, but they’re totally worth it

Luke Larsen

July 5, 2019

Dan Baker/Digital Trends

Nvidia knows what it’s doing. It knows exactly what it’s doing.

The RTX 20-series cards launched less than a year ago, but today, we have three new RTX cards to replace them. That seems a bit strange, as RTX was the debut of a new graphics architecture and a new direction for real-time ray tracing. I’d normally expect new flagship cards to remain in that position for more than a year.

Nvidia’s new release is well timed, however. AMD is gearing up to launch its own new line of graphics cards, the RX 5700 and 5700 XT. Though we don’t know exactly how those will perform, one thing’s for sure. Team Green isn’t about to let AMD have its moment in the spotlight.

What’s so super about RTX Super?

The RTX 2060 Super and 2070 Super look nearly identical to the non-Super versions. Build quality is still off the charts with an aluminum shroud and dual-fan cooling. The only notable difference is a new reflective, almost glass-like surface between the two fans atop the card. It’s an interesting choice, though I have to admit I favor the simpler aesthetic of the standard RTX series.

Dan Baker/Digital Trends

As the green “Super” logo indicates, there’s something special going on with both these new GPUs. Essentially, Nvidia is moving each GPU up in its product stack. The RTX 2070 Super replaces the RTX 2080, and the RTX 2060 Super replaces the RTX 2070. The RT 2080 Super is coming later this month, but Nvidia claims it sits right between the RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti.

Why is all this rearranging important? Well, it’s all a cost savings to you. Graphics cards have grown considerably in price over the past few years, and sometimes the real-life performance gain on games you play isn’t as great as you’d hope. These Super cards change that by delivering a better value every way you can slice it. Here’s how the new lineup breaks down.

	RTX 2080 Ti	RTX 2080 Super	RTX 2080	RTX 2070 Super	RTX 2070	RTX 2060 Super	RTX 2060
GPU	TU102	TU104	TU104	TU104	TU106	TU106	TU106
CUDA cores	4,352	3,072	2,944	2.560	2,304	2,176	1,920
Tensor cores	544	384	368	320	288	272	240
RT Cores	68	48	46	40	36	34	30
Base clock	1,350MHz	1,650MHz	1,515MHz	1,605MHz	1,410MHz	1,470MHz	1,365Mhz
Boost clock	1,545MHz	1,815MHz	1,710Mhz	1,770MHz	1,620MHz	1,650MHz	1,680MHz
Memory	11GB GDDR6	8GB GDDR6	8GB GDDR6	8GB GDDR6	8GB GDDR6	8GB GDDR6	6GB GDDR6
Memory speed	14 Gbps	15. 5Gbps	14Gbps	14Gbps	14Gbps	14Gbps	14Gbps
Bandwidth	616 GBps	496GBps	448GBps	448GBps	448GBps	448GBps	336GBps
TDP	250w	250w	215w	215w	175w	175w	160w

CUDA cores have been boosted across both cards, by 10% for the RTX 2070 Super and 12% for the 2060 Super. The 2070 Super, though, gains a larger increase in clock speed, bumping up 12% from the standard RTX 2070. The 6% boost in clock speed to the RTX 2060 Super might not seem like much, but it also gains 2GB of GDDR6 RAM and 15 watts of power. That brings memory bandwidth up to speed with the rest of the RTX lineup. For that alone, it’s worth the $50 bump over the RTX 2060.

Compared to Nvidia’s competition, the forthcoming Radeon RX 5700 XT has 2,560 cores, exactly matching the new RTX 2070 Super. The RX 5700 has more cores than even the new RTX 2060 Super, at 2,304, and nearly identical clock speeds. Again, Nvidia knew exactly what it was after with these cards.

How fast are they?

While we can’t yet compare the new Super cards against their intended competitors, we can compare them to other rivals, such as the Radeon VII and and Vega 64. These two AMD cards represent a range of the company’s lineup in terms of price and performance. We tested all these cards in a test rig sporting a Core i7-8086K, 16GB of G.Skill DDR4 RAM, and a Samsung 950Pro M.2 SSD.

As we always do, we started with 3DMark’s Time Spy benchmark, a DX12 test that represents a large swath of the modern PC games you play today. The results weigh heavily in Nvidia’s favor.

As you can see, the RTX 2070 Super doesn’t match the RTX 2080, but it’s not far behind. We didn’t have an RTX 2070 on hand, but you can see how much ground the 2070 Super has made on the 2080. That’s impressive.

The RTX 2060 Super lands 11% behind the 2070 Super, but more importantly, it squeaks ahead of the Radeon VII. This is bad news for AMD, because Nvidia’s card is $300 less expensive.

The situation looks even worse for AMD’s older flagship, the Vega 64. The late 2017 release originally launched at $499, and squares up poorly against the cheaper RTX 2060 Super.

Benchmarks don’t tell the whole story, though. We also took the Super cards through our typical suite of test games, which include Fortnite, Battlefield V, Civilization VI, and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Again, Nvidia has come out with its all-stars and puts the ball squarely in AMD’s court.

In Fortnite at 1080p at Epic settings, The RTX 2060 Super puts the Radeon VII to shame. As in Time Spy, the $699 card is a few frames behind the more affordable RTX 2060 Super. The 2070 Super, meanwhile, spit out a speedy 172 FPS. That’s plenty for that high refresh monitor you might have. Even at 4K Epic, the 2070 Super averages over 60 FPS. That kind of 4K capability in a fast-paced game like Fortnite was previously limited to cards over $699.

Civilization VI is more CPU-heavy game than some of the others, which explains why the difference between these cards at 1080p isn’t all that noticeable. However, when you move to 1440p or 4K, you again see the raw strength of the RTX 2070 Super. The game blistered along at an average of 96 FPS in 4K Ultra, a solid 18% above the RTX 2060 Super. Though it’s priced the same as the Radeon VII, it beats by 15 FPS in 4K and by 21 FPS in 1440p. Ouch. Fortunately for AMD, the Radeon VII at least keeps up with the 2060 Super in this one.

We always test cards with Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, a game that provides a seriously demanding workload on graphics cards. At lower settings, anywhere from 1080p High to 1440p High, the RTX 2060 Super beats the Radeon VII by a few FPS. From 1440p Ultra High on up to 4K, the Radeon VII takes back that lead, but never quite enough to catch the RTX 2070 Super. In this game in particular, the 2070 Super is neck-and-neck with the 2080, which is again an impressive achievement. Though none of these cards can play Odyssey at 4K over 60 FPS, the game plays beautifully at 1080p.

Dan Baker/Digital Trends

Battlefield V is the primary outlier in our results. All the Nvidia cards lag behind in this game, and that includes the RTX 2080. The Radeon VII happily leads the pack, even beating the expensive RTX 2080 in most graphic detail settings and high resolutions. Neither of the Super cards can capture 60 FPS at 4K, which is a bit disappointing. 4K in Battlefield V isn’t ruled out entirely, you’ll need to drop graphics settings down to Medium for smoother gameplay. While 4K is a nice goal post, most people will probably stick with 1080p though, and here the 2060 Super can still land you over 100 FPS at max detail.

Despite the hiccup in Battlefield V, these two Super cards are serious rock stars, and add tremendous value to already powerful GPUs.

The larger war looms

If you’ve been holding off a purchase until you heard more about these Super cards, your patience will be rewarded. With significant performance improvements at hardly any cost increase. In many ways, they feel like the cards that should have launched a year ago. The RTX 2070 Super is still priced well beyond what the average gamer can afford, but even it makes a better case for the strength of the Turing architecture than ever before.

The Super cards win Nvidia the battle, but the real war is ahead. AMD’s RX 5000-series GPUs land just next week, and when they do, they’ll have tough competition from Nvidia. Who will win? Check back soon to find out.
