IN PRACTICAL FACT, A PRICE CUT ON THE RTX
2080
Binned GPU or something else, whatever the RTX 2070
Super is, it’s made of awesome. Look at the price. You
can overclock the RTX 2070 Super just a bit, and for all
intents and purposes, you get GeForce RTX 2080-level

overclocking gives you the shivers, just run it at stock
for a close-enough approximation.
We tested the GeForce RTX 2060 Super alongside it,
but we think that the RTX 2070 Super is where the
value is at of that pair. We’ll have to see about the RTX
2080 Super, which we haven’t gotten hands on quite
yet. It has its work cut out for it: The GeForce RTX
2070 Super hits the sweet spot between near-consistent
60fps frame rates at 4K for 60Hz monitors, and solid
144fps-plus esports performance at a price primed for
the upper-midrange market. And with access to
Nvidia’s RT and Tensor cores, it’s future-proofed.
If you’ve been waiting for the GeForce RTX 2080 to
come down in price to take the plunge, the release of
the RTX 2070 Super is the card you’ve been waiting for.
