RTX 2070 Super Specifications
Demonstrating that there is more than one way to skin a cat, the RTX 2070 Super takes a slightly different approach than the upgrades applied to the RTX 2060 Super. Both start off the same, with the RTX 2070 Super having four extra Shader Modules which give you another 256 CUDA Cores. However, whilst the RTX 2060 Super was 105 MHz faster at base clock and 30 MHz slower when utilising GPU Boost, the RTX 2070 is just faster, gaining 195 MHz base clock and 150 MHz when boosted.
This has a significant effect upon the calculative abilities of the card. The RTX 2060 Super was 0.7 TFLOPS faster than its predecessor but the RTX 2070 Super is a scarcely believable 1.6 TFLOPS faster than the already speedy RTX 2070. Similarly the Tensor Cores saw a 11% boost on the RTX 2060 between vanilla and Super, but the RTX 2070 Super gains 20%. Lastly the RTX 2060 Super gained 16 Texture Units over the regular model for a 11% increase in Giga Texels Per Second fill-rate, whilst the RTX 2070 Super gains 40 new TUs for a 39.6% increase in Texel fill-rate.
The only area that the RTX 2070 Super doesn't have a massive lead on its illustrious predecessor when compared to the improvements on the RTX 2060 Super is in Memory performance, but that's largely because the RTX 2070 was already well endowed.
| GeForce RTX 2070 | GeForce RTX 2070 Super | |
| SMs | 36 | 40 |
| CUDA Cores | 2304 | 2560 |
| Base Clock | 1410 MHz | 1605 MHz |
| GPU Boost Clock | 1620 MHz | 1770 MHz |
| FLOPS | 7.5 TFLOPS (INT32/FP32) | 9.1 TFLOPS (INT32/FP32) |
| Tensor FLOPS | 60 TFLOPS | 72 TFLOPS |
| Rays Cast | 6 Giga Rays | 7 Giga Rays |
| Texture Units | 144 | 184 |
| Texel Fill-Rate | 233.3 GT/s | 325.7 GT/s |
| Memory Interface | 256-bit | 256-bit |
| Memory Data Rate | 14 Gbps | 14 Gbps |
| Memory Bandwidth | 448 GB/s | 448 GB/s |
| Memory Size | 8 GB | 8 GB |
| Max L1 Cache Size | 2304 KB | 2560 KB |
| TGP | 175 W | 215 W |
Let's look at them in the flesh.

Despite the controversy in the usual overly angry circles, Turing cards performed well on market and past the RTX2060's release had a pretty warm reception amongst the mainstream. They've without a doubt had a significant impact on increasing the penetration of DXR amongst both developers and consumers with every modern game engine now in the process of implementing realtime-raytracing, all those who called raytracing a gimmick that would go the way of PhysX or whatever were flatly wrong(But those comparisons were way off the mark anyway).Quote

yeah kudos to the nvidia marketing as i wrote.
but sure not because the RTX cards are such great value.
the RTX 2060 be the best out of the bunch i agree with that.
90% i know who have a clue about GPU´s in the press had some critical words to say about the RTX release.

unfortunately there was no supercharger to be seen here.
i did not want a car that i can only charge in my own garage.
did i buy a tesla and put it my garage without any real use for it.... no.
it made no sense to buy a tesla back then when there was no infrastructure to support electric cars.
today that changed. it is still not perfect but my tesla know makes way more sense.
and i even got a better model.
raytracing cards are a bit like that.
the people who bought into the hype sure paved the way for me to enjoy RTX next year.
but that does not change a thing about the cards being overpriced.
people may not care about that and i understand, i pay way too much for some stuff too.
but i am not searching for excuses. i know it´s kind of a rip off.Quote

i could buy a tesla years ago. unfortunately there was no supercharger to be seen here. raytracing is a bit like that. the people who bought into the hype sure paved the way for me to enjoy RTX next year. but that does not change a thing about the cards being overpriced. |
You can't use future tech to say current tech is bad value(Nor can you use current tech that doesn't actually do the same things), because then literally all tech ever made is bad value because something in the future will be better. "Just wait", but how long for till it "makes sense"? Time is invaluable to some people, particularly tech enthusiasts, if everyone waited till things became mainstream, progressive tech would never actually become mainstream. Catch 22.Quote

Now, they are more expensive, yes but and Govs have found ways to tax them. As well as being popular enough that they lose value more than ever. So not the greatest example there... sorry.
New tech is new tech. its costly and wasn't mature. But there was an infrastructure here for sure.
I get your point, but the example just wasn't the greatest to use.Quote

the performance increase (compared with other generational updates) was not good and the price was certainly not good.
you might want to watch what other youtubers and people who are not nvidia fanboys had to say about the initial RTX release.
i know OC3D was back then all hyped about RTX and these overpriced cards.
when others were way more critical.
but reality must set in at some point!?
not to mention that RTX is still a gimmick barely used in games.
the super cards are what should have been release in the first place (for the asked price).
i feel bad for the people who bought a 2060, 2070 or 2080 RTX card.
this update makes them look like guinea pigs.... or better say cows to be milked.
yes they had RTX for a few month now (and i am sure would not have missed it).
kudos to nvidia... their marketing department sure knows how handle the majority of gamers.
