PCWorld – August 2019

AUGUST 2019 PCWorld 47

a heck of an
upgrade for the
extra $50.
The $499
GeForce RTX 2070
Super, on the other
hand, achieves its
gains by graduating
to a whole new GPU
family under the
hood. While the
original RTX 2070
rocked the TU106
processor also
found in the RTX
2060, the Super
upgrades to a
cut-down variant of
the more powerful
TU104 GPU that
originated in the
$699 GeForce RTX

2080. Don’t let that
      “cut-down” fool
      you: Like the RTX
      2060 Super, the RTX
      2070 Super includes more streaming
      multiprocessors, CUDA cores, and dedicated
      ray-tracing hardware than its vanilla namesake.
      The GeForce RTX 2070 Super doesn’t quite
      close the performance gap with the RTX
      2080, but it comes awfully damned close—
      and for $200 less.
      The Super variants include substantially

higher base clock speeds than before, and

the RTX 2070 Super gets a whopping

150MHz boost clock bump, too.

The extra oomph doesn’t come free,

though. Both Super versions consume more

power than their cousins, especially the RTX

2070 Super. While the RTX 2060 Super sticks

to the same small form factor and single 8-pin
