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



  1. 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
