OcUK RTX2070 Super and RTX2060 Super review thread

h4wks · 5 Jul 2019 at 14:37

Yes I'm running a 1440p 165hz monitor so thinking a 2070-S will be a decent fit. If I wasn't tied in to G-Sync I'd take a look at the 5700-XT but no way I'd want to give up the variable refresh.

So what's the consensus regarding these, do they offer enough of a jump at a reasonable price for me to want to upgrade from a 1080ti?

No, wait for the 7nm cards to come in about a year.

Or get a 2080 Super if you want to play with RT on until then

Vidar · 6 Jul 2019 at 17:50

Meh, I'll wait then I'm in no hurry

RTX 2060 SUPER OC destroyed Vega 64 LC OC in nearly all benchmarks.

Maybe enough to upgrade from my 1070 but not your 1080TI.

Might pick up a 2nd 1080ti if prices come down enough to tide me over, using a 1440 ultrawide and drop below 30fps in certain games.

It would have been a decent card at £250 - £300.

It's a joke at £400+. It's an xx60 card after all.

In years gone by we took it for-granted that a new card would beat the more expensive cards of a previous generation (which were 18 months to 2 years old!). Now we simply expect to pay more if there's more performance.

where are all the reviews then?

It is really quite a ***** practice. As you say, the norm was generally that the next gen of cards would offer more performance for the same price. These days, both Nvidia, and now AMD are just making the new stuff more and more expensive so we get hardly any sort of price/performance increase.

This also means the inevitable fire sales of the previous gen cards for peanuts doesn't happen (or at least the result has been fairly muted)

I wont be buying a new card until that stops.

It depends how you look at it.

I bought my 980Ti for £649 on release. Sold it for less than half that shortly after the 1080 launch.

Infact most were going for the £2-300 range.

Bought a 1080Ti for £600 on release. Sold it after the 2080Ti release over a year later for £550.

Exactly. Says it all.

Definitely not the right way to look at it though

. But it’s the way I see it.

They SHOULD be cheaper I can agree on that.

hedgey · 7 Jul 2019 at 16:58

so what are the prices? 2070 super looks to be slightly better than a 1080ti.

2060S practically identical to a 2070.

Tuesday, but 2070S from 475. Asus version 999+

When are orders going live for the RTX 2070 Super?
I want to order mine now, or do I have to wait until Tuesday?
