True, I incorrectly had the gap bigger in my head. It might be able to close some of those non-Forza results.

Yet all depends the reviewer. And that with the blower heater.

Also here we are talking about 3-4fps here, which on the PCIe 4.0 tests show that can be gained over PCIe 3.0.
In addition Nvidia has mature drivers for the 2070S, as is just a rebadged (and crippled) 2080.

And before you cry about me mentioning PCI4.0 benefits

On DX11 games there is a significant difference of 6fps in many cases. Less than it separates the 2070S from the 5700XT on PCIe 3.0

That's what people are considering the FE.
Bit of a skewed opinion albeit.

But it's not an AIB :confused:

Its just the stock card from Nvidia. Some people must clutch at them straws

Just because they had a load of old fans left over from the VII and found a new home for them its not Nvidia's fault.

Aye I believe they are clutching at straws.

The FE has a decent cooler that rivals any AIB cooler so the results for that would be comparable to any AIB version. AMD's reference blower cooler on the other hand is not exactly an amazing feat of engineering.

You're injecting your own reality though.
An AIB card isn't just its cooler.

And it sounds like you're almost giving Nvidia a hard time because they bothered to not release cards with crap coolers lol.

LOL, is this "THE NOISE" they are talking about? Are you kidding me :rolleyes:

? I won't hear that in my case.
Talk about drama queens. With the 2070 I actually hear coil whine!!

JediFragger · 8 Jul 2019 at 22:15

Yeah seems fine to me, and can always knock 100/200rpm off with a custom curve (esp if UV)

Exactly, but you can't do anything about that coil whine on the 2070 though.

The 5700XT fan RPM's locked to 2100.

Under the desk eliminates a lot of it, On the desktop even small tones can be enough. It starts small and gradually would annoy you whats the point being annoyed. Get it under the desk with some 3000rpm industrial Noctua fans.

I have mine on the desk and...no. That's not true. What you are hearing are the other case fans...

£380 for an almost 2070 Super without RTX is actually pretty damn good (relative to what is happening with gpu prices over the last year or 2).

The 2070 Super isn't even purchasable right now either, so it'll be interesting to see where Nvidia actually place it price wise.

Out tomorrow to buy.

OcUK have a whole page with no prices on it which is what I was going on. If it is the £480-£500 price that's expected then honestly the 5700XT is probably the better value card even with the blower.

Prices here £475 cheapest.

Thanks I never actually saw that thread. That puts it close but honestly £379 sounds a lot easier to sell to someone on a budget than £475 does.

I know you could say then the 2060 Super/5700 would be easier again which is true but hopefully you get what I mean.
