MSI RTX 2070 Armor Review

Test Setup

Following the success of sorting our graphs by the 4K results with the RTX 2080 reviews, we’re sticking with that for the RTX 2070, so we can see how they compare to their bigger brothers. Obviously this card is designed for the lower resolutions than 4K, so remember to pay close attention to all the numbers, and not just glance at the highlighted position in our graph.

Overclocking

The nVidia GPU Boost 4.0 does a decent job of boosting the card when running it at stock. The OC Scanner does much better, pumping it all the way up by another 140 MHz average clock speed, but understandably the manual overclock is where the real benefits lie, with a peak boost beyond 2 GHz and an average nearly 200 Mhz better than the stock card.
