There are LEDs on both the 8-pin and 6-pin PCIe power connectors to show the user if the card is receiving the proper power. The pipes also cool the VRAM and MOSFETs through a baseplate and quality thermal tape which covers these vital areas. These heat pipes snake their way through the fin array to the base of the heatsink where they are flattened to make direct contact with the GPU core. The heatsink uses composite heat-pipes which combine thermal conductivity and phase transition to manage the heat transfer efficiently. This all starts with the three 82 mm fans and their unique design which effectively enhances the airflow. We also have Alternate Spinning Fans where the inside fan spins in the opposite direction of the outer fans which GIGABYTE says reduces the turbulent airflow created by three fans. We also have what GIGABYTE has labeled 3D Active Fan which provides semi-passive cooling allowing the fans to remain powered off while the GPU is in a low load or low power game. Windforce 3X uses multiple techniques to deliver highly effective cooling with little noise. GIGABYTE RTX 2070 Super Gaming OC Specificationsīelow we have an image of GPU-Z v.2.24.0 confirming the specifications listed in the table above as well as showing the actual boost speed.Īs far as features go, the GIGABYTE RTX 2070 Gaming OC has all the extras you need starting with the Windforce 3X cooling system. This sample’s actual boost speed reached 2055 MHz consistently during testing and most likely due to the superior cooling solution used along with improved power delivery. The Gaming OC from GIGABYTE does have some advantages, though, like a slightly faster boost clock reaching 1815 MHz compared to 1770 MHz for the FE (Founders Edition) card. The GIGABYTE RTX 2070 Super Gaming OC does have the same memory configuration as the reference model with 8 GB of GDDR6 a 256-bit bus which is clocked at 1750 MHz yielding 448 GB/s bandwidth. There are also 320 Tensor cores and 40 Ray tracing cores compared to 288 and 36 respectively. This gives the RTX 2070 Super an elevated core count when compared to the RTX 2070 coming in at 2560 CUDA cores versus 2304. The 2070 Super line uses the TU-104-410-A1 which is the same die used in the RTX 2080 series, but some of the cores have been disabled. The new RTX Super GPUs are based on the same optimized 16 nm node from TSMC called 12 nm FFN (FinFET Nvidia) using the same Turing architecture as the non-Super cards and included all the same features. We’ll run it through our usual battery of testing and see how it measures up to the competition and its siblings.
It sports an improved power delivery system compared to the reference model as well as GIGABYTE’s Windforce 3 cooling solution. The RTX 2070 Super we have here today is using a custom PCB. These cards were sporting an increased CUDA core count much like the “Ti” versions of the past, but these new Super cards also have increased RT and Tensor core counts. Speculation at the time was that this move was intended to counter AMD’s perceived price/performance staging of their soon to be launched RX GPUs.ĪMD’s performance levels were mostly speculation at the time but rumored to be at or near the RTX 2070 with a similar price point. Whether or not these rumors were true, the RTX Super graphics cards were released intending to slide in between their base model (RTX 2070) and the next tier (RTX 2080). Nvidia introduced the “Super” line of GPUs in late June of this year which, coincidently, coincided with AMD’s launch of their new Navi-based RX 5700 line of video cards. On our test bench today we have the RTX 2070 Super Gaming OC from GIGABYTE.
