Something super is coming...

Stephanie Peterson · 2 Jul 2019 at 16:10

Interesting power usage on these things, the 2060 super doesnt seem to have jumped too much... maybe 15-20w but the 2070super seems to have put on 50w to accommodate its new grunt.
Hmm this is the kind of thing AMD used to pull

the 2070 Super just threw the 1080ti under the bus.

You make that sound as though the 2070 Super is a worthy upgrade from the 1080Ti.

No, it is not an upgrade but at least we now have a decent like for like performance replacement for it rather than having to mooch around on the used market.

Good luck at getting a 2070 Super with a decent cooler for £475

LoadsaMoney · 2 Jul 2019 at 17:05

£475 for a 2080, thats a cracking price.

No 2080ti Super = boring marketing strategy. Even if it is overpriced it's the only semblance of a true high end card upgrade that will keep next gen consoles in their box and hopefully put space invaders to bed.

2070Ti, it's not quite a 2080 and as I said getting a good AIB for that I would be very surprised.

What is this obsession with the bs Marketting coming from Sony and ms in regards to their next generation consoles? They will be outclassed by a mid range gpu by the time of release.

2070 or wait for 2080 super... hmmm...

It offers 1080Ti performance for £500, that is an absolute WIN for NVIDIA and consumers, people will still moan it should be £300, but the simple fact is £500 for 1080Ti performance is cheaper than any 1080Ti ever sold at and RTX 2070 SUPER has more features and offers the same performance and is more future proof so it really is a fantastic card for the money and I can see those being the sweet spot sales wise.

Yeah, i can see the 2070 Super being popular, it'll fly out.

We'll still be paying high end prices for mid range cards when next gen consoles are released at this rate.

Think I'm buying a 2070 Super.
God I'll feel dirty.

when are you guys expected to start selling?

Bazzards · 2 Jul 2019 at 17:53

2070 super is certainly looking tempting. Would be getting rid of my 980ti ski setup though.

Next Tuesday, 9th July.

Stephanie Peterson · 2 Jul 2019 at 17:54

I would hang fire until the Navi reviews are out, but as you cant buy a 2070s until after that date it shouldnt be a problem.

great, that founders?, any ideas how long for third party?

opethdisciple · 2 Jul 2019 at 18:06

I would buy a new card but I'm also happy to wait untill 3000 series. It's summer anyway so not much gaming time due to heat in the loft.

Anyway an upgrade for a 1080... Doubt it's really worth it to buy even a 2080 super. (1440p)

from what I saw on the gamers nexus latest video the 2070 super only beat the 1080ti in 2 tests and only came close in the others when overclocked vs a stock 1080ti

looks like new rtx super delivers in terms of performance
