Rtx 2070 Super Vs Rtx 2080 Super Max Q
On Ultra High, the averaged an impressive 47fps at 1440p when I ran put it through its internal benchmarking tool, and an even silkier 59fps on Very High. Indeed, only the GTX 1070Ti proved an adequate match for the RX 2060 at this resolution, managing an average of 46fps on Ultra High and 54fps on Very High. But wait a minute, I hear you cry, doesn’t the GTX 1070 have 8GB of memory?
The problem is that most games don’t support ray tracing yet. While Battlefield V is a very pretty game, the ray tracing is only a tiny aspect of that beauty, and certainly not enough to warrant upgrading. So for now, if you have a 1070 or 1070 Ti or better, or an AMD Vega 56 or better, then you shouldn’t upgrade. But if you’ve been sitting on an older GPU waiting for something to suck less and give you good performance in 1440p or lower resolutions, then the 2060, for $350, is a pretty dang good deal.
Thing is, though, you probably don’t need to spend this kind of money on a 1080p graphics card if all you’re after is something that can do 60fps on high or max settings. That’s pretty impressive considering the RTX 2060’s GPU also has lower base and boost clock speeds than Nvidia’s GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 families, with its base coming in at just 1365MHz, while its boost tops out at 1680MHz. These numbers may well be slightly higher on other third party cards out there that have been overclocked straight out of the factory, but the fact remains that the RTX 2060 pulls some serious weight in spite of its slower-running GPU. It was a fantastic card when it launched for $249, and it continues to be one now for even less, with some of today’s cheapest 6GB cards going for $240 / £220.
Pre-built system may require less power depending on system configuration. NVIDIA GPUs accelerate your work with incredible boosts in performance. Bigger workloads, more features, and faster than you ever imagined. Welcome to NVIDIA Studio—and your new, more creative, process. Simultaneous floating point and integer processing enables Turing GPUs to more efficiently process the compute heavy workloads of modern games.
Active but more limited I should say, the GeForce gtx 1080 8gb, really is making use of a reconfigured GeForce RTX 2070 chip. The GPU has been cut-down as well as the memory configuration in size. The new RTX series is mostly about DX-R (DirectX-R compatible hardware accelerated Raytracing).
The second issue is price vs. performance, with the cheapest RTX 2070 fetching £450 but barely any faster than the GTX 1080 from the Pascal generation. The most compelling thing about the , though, isn’t all the Turing stuff that makes it special. It’s the price, which is something the RTX 2080, RTX 2080Ti and even the RTX 2070 didn’t really have on their side when they launched at the end of last year. The tide has turned a bit now, but when those first came out, they were all either more expensive than their nearest GTX counterpart, or only a teensy bit more powerful. The RTX 2060, on the other hand, sits firmly on the right side of the power/price line for me, offering as much, if not more juice than the GTX 1070Ti for a fraction of its cost.
