Summary
So what distinguishes the GeForce RTX 2070 Super from the RTX 2070? First and foremost, the chip itself, the TU106-400, was already the full expansion. So you reach for the TU104 and take away a few things compared to the GeForce RTX 2080, which slow down the card accordingly. This significantly upgrades the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, as it is moving a lot closer to the RTX 2080, which is not exactly the road sweeper.
Performance-wise, the card lands exactly where you would have liked Nvidia. After all, this week still has various competitor products in the house and if one believes the collated results in direct comparison to the non-super models of Nvidia, AMD would have had the nose (sharp) again in at least two performance classes. So the green corner simply grabs nonchalantly into the evolutionary seimer and gets a upgrade upwards.
Of course, I cannot and must not reveal whether this is enough for the competitor, but e.g. this RTX 2070 Super is quite clearly set apart from the unsuperrated RTX 2070 in many games. Now one might suspect that this could be enough, but who knows. I have to save a few more details, unfortunately. I have already evaluated the referee design in great detail on the individual pages of this review, so I don't have to smear redundancy on the black bread again at this point.
This is exactly where the Board Partner models will surely become the more interesting choice, because better is always possible. Worse but unfortunately also, because the reference cards are quite better than their reputation. From this point of view, this is already fitting, even if the cooling in the Duals slot design is thermally reaching the limits. Acoustically, by the way. But it could be endured. The power consumption fits exactly where you might have guessed it from the gaming performance. Thus, this is not a reason for tears. Power comes from fuel, this is not a scientific new discovery.
With 529 Euro RRP including VAT, the GeForce RTX 2070 Super is then 50 to 60 Euros above the currently cheapest RTX 2070, which is not a broken leg in itself, because the performance increase is quite noticeable, even in practical use. For QHD, this card is actually enough and makes the GeForce RTX 2080 completely obsolete even from this direction. The QHD-Zocker doesn't need much more, which is also a fact that speaks more for the RTX 2070 Super.
And I want to lose a word about DXR / RTX On, because in the end there will be more and more titles that use the various features. Not quite as excessive as with BF V (thank God), but mostly profitable for the interested user. And if the concentrated load then turns out to be a little smaller and more harmonious, as well as much is also optimized, then raytracing (but not only that) can also be attested positive moves in terms of the future viability of an investment. I don't see it quite as euphoric as Nvidia (they have to), but the initial scepticism about its use in the consumer market gives way to a healthy interest and a certain instinct for play.
Conclusion
In and of itself, if you leave the whole price discussion aside, such a GeForce RTX 2070 Super is natural, like the smaller sister in the 2060s, the better RTX 2070. The fact that one has just chosen Super instead of the Ti abbreviation has of course gone silly for many manufacturers, because a map of Palit would then logically have to be called Palit GeForce RTX 2070 Super SuperJetstream. Mega, isn't it? The marketing department at Palit will certainly hyperventilate.
And even with this card, this frantically inserted launch of Nvidia has the same enormous enormous disadvantage in time, because one is not yet allowed to judge the potential competitors. And so this conclusion remains just as open in the end, because what should I write? Direct comparisons are prohibited (still) and so you will be able to read an assessment of this from me at the latest at the Navi-Launch. Anything else would not be fair or objective. And that is exactly what we all do not want.
The map has done well in terms of the plan and the idea of Nvidia behind it. With the TU104-410, it is also an implementation that does not incur any further costs, but increases the yield enormously, because there are certainly enough chips that could not become RTX 2080. This then compensates for many things economically. And the GeForce RTX 2080 in its current form will probably soon be taken away, because the current map is rarely unhappily positioned. It's just too expensive to offer, because it's not a 4K card. And for the rest, the RTX 2070 Super does the same now.
