NVIDIA just launched the GeForce MX450 – a new MX-class GPU for laptops, with GDDR6 memory and a PCIe 4.0 interface!
Find out what else is new and what it offers over the GeForce MX300 and GeForce MX200 series GPUs!
NVIDIA GeForce MX450 : Finally Time For Turing!
The NVIDIA GeForce MX300 and MX200 series of laptop graphics are based on the old Pascal architecture from 2016, and built on the 14 nm process technology.
This allows them to deliver decent esports gaming performance at just 25 watts, but they are certainly not as fast as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050.
In addition, with the exception of MX350, they all lack the NVENC hardware encoder and NVDEC hardware decoder.
With the upcoming 11th Gen Intel Core processors (Tiger Lake) threatening to pose a serious challenge with their Xe graphics, NVIDIA needed to up the ante.
And so, they launched their new GeForce MX450 graphics, based on the newer Turing microarchitecture!
NVIDIA GeForce MX450 : New MX-Class Laptop Graphics
The NVIDIA GeForce MX450 was quietly released, without much fanfare even though it is the first NVIDIA GPU to officially support PCI Express 4.0.
On top of that, it is also the first MX-class GPU to support faster GDDR6 memory, and feature the newer Turing microarchitecture.
The NVIDIA GeForce MX450 is built on the more efficient 12 nm process, and come with 1024 CUDA cores, with 64 texture units and 16 ROPs.
These upgrades will let the GeForce MX450 perform somewhere between the GeForce MX350 and the GeForce GTX 1650. Probably about as fast as the GeForce GTX 1050.
More importantly, the Turing TU117 GPU it uses supports the NVENC hardware encoder and NVDEC hardware decoder, allowing it to boost content creation and media playback performance with lower power consumption.
That is if NVIDIA doesn’t actually turn disable them in the GeForce MX450, to avoid cannibalising their higher-end mobile GPUs.
Like the other MX-class GPUs, it has a 25 watt TDP. And while it supports GDDR6 memory, manufacturers can opt to use GDDR5 memory.
NVIDIA GeForce MX450 : Specifications

The MLPerf Inference 0.5 benchmarks are officially released today, with NVIDIA declaring that they aced them for both datacenter and edge computing workloads.
Find out how well NVIDIA did, and why it matters!
The MLPerf Inference Benchmarks
MLPerf Inference 0.5 is the industry’s first independent suite of five AI inference benchmarks.
Applied across a range of form factors and four inference scenarios, the new MLPerf Inference Benchmarks test the performance of established AI applications like image classification, object detection and translation.
NVIDIA Wins MLPerf Inference Benchmarks For Datacenter + Edge
Thanks to the programmability of its computing platforms to cater to diverse AI workloads, NVIDIA was the only company to submit results for all five MLPerf Inference Benchmarks.
According to NVIDIA, their Turing GPUs topped all five benchmarks for both datacenter scenarios (server and offline) among commercially-available processors.
Meanwhile, their Jetson Xavier scored highest among commercially-available edge and mobile SoCs under both edge-focused scenarios – single stream and multi-stream.
The new NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX that was announced today is a low-power version of the Xavier SoC that won the MLPerf Inference 0.5 benchmarks.
All of NVIDIA’s MLPerf Inference Benchmark results were achieved using NVIDIA TensorRT 6 deep learning inference software.

The GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 Super (1-Click OC) is one of the first NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER graphics cards to be introduced.
Let’s take a closer look at the GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 Super (1-Click OC), and find out how well it performs!
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Primer
A few months after launching the RTX SUPER family of graphics cards, NVIDIA has finally unleashed the GTX SUPER series!
GeForce Product Manager Justin Walker briefed us on the GTX 1660 SUPER, as well as the GTX 1650 SUPER, in an exclusive pre-launch briefing, which we prepared for you here, including a short Q&A session :
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is basically the regular GTX 1660 with 14 Gbps GDDR6 memory, increasing its memory bandwidth from 192 GB/s to 336 GB/s.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Price + Availability
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER has a launch price starting from $229 onwards, which is $10 more than the regular GTX 1650. Here is a list of online purchase options, and their prices (accurate as of 1 November 2019) :
GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER cards are only be available from NVIDIA board partners as custom cards, without a Founders Edition reference design.
One of the first examples is the GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 Super (1-Click OC), and we managed to get our grubby hands on an early sample!
The GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 Super hews quite close to the reference specifications, with one exception.
It has a 15 MHz higher boost clock out-of-the-box, with a further 15 MHz enabled by its 1-Click OC feature. This gives it a maximum boost clock of 1815 MHz.
Here is a table comparing the GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 Super, with the reference GTX 1660 SUPER, the GTX 1660 Ti and the regular GTX 1660.

GALAX GTX 1660 Super : Display Ports
The GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 Super offers three display ports. From left to right, they are :
DisplayPort 1.4
HDMI 2.0b with HDCP 2.2 support
DVI-D
Technically, this allows it to display out to a maximum of three monitors, but it might not be practical in real life.
It is, in particular, difficult to do so for three similar monitors, because they would have to support three different ports!
Incidentally, the cooling vents above the display ports are purely decorative. Not only are the heatsink fins aligned in parallel, the cooler shroud actually blocks hot air from exiting through these vents.
GALAX GTX 1660 Super : RGB Heatpipe Cooler
The GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 Super is kept cool by an aluminium heatsink, with four copper heat pipes.
The finish of the aluminium heatsink isn’t that awesome, but at least it has heat pipes to transfer heat from the GPU to the entire heatsink.
The heatsink is kept cool by two 90 mm fans, that not only has fan stop capability, but also comes with programmable RGB lighting!
Hot air from this cooler exhausts upwards and downwards. This is a shame, because it means the hot air recirculates within the PC case, instead of exhausting out the back.
GALAX GTX 1660 Super : Thermal Output
Note that these are not the recorded temperatures, but how much hotter the exhaust air is above ambient temperature.
The GALAX GTX 1660 Super with a 125 watt TDP has roughly the same peak exhaust temperature as the GeForce RTX 2060 with a much higher 175 watt TDP.
GALAX GTX 1660 Super : Noise Level
How noisy is the GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 Super? Check it out for yourself in this video!
Despite its rough finish, the aluminium heat pipe cooler does a great job of keeping the NVIDIA TU116 GPU cool, without the fans. In fact, the fans did not start spinning until about a minute into the Time Spy Extreme benchmark!
If you are not gaming and just doing work or watching YouTube or a movie, it will be completely silent. Even when you are running a strenuous game, the fans are quiet. That said, we did hear some rattling from the fans in our sample…
GALAX GTX 1660 Super : PCIe Power + Interface
The GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 Super has a TDP of 125 watts, and requires an 8-pin PCIe power cable.
It uses the good old PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface, which gives it the same PCIe bandwidth as the PCI Express 4.0 x8 interface used by the competing AMD Radeon RX 5500.

GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Benchmarking Notes
In this review, we will take a look at its gaming performance, in comparison to 7 other graphics cards :
We used 3DMark’s Time Spy and Time Spy Extreme synthetic benchmarks, which offers a great approximation of gaming performance in general.
The Time Spy and Time Spy Extreme benchmarks support DirectX 12, and the latest features like asynchronous compute, and multi-threading support.
Time Spy – 2560 x 1440
Wow! In the Time Spy test, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER was 3% faster than the GTX 1070, and 46% faster than the GTX 1060! In fact, it was just 5.5% slower than the Vega 56.
Its overall gaming score was 3% higher than the GTX 1070, 42% higher than the GTX 1060 and just 4.7% lower than the Vega 56.
Time Spy Extreme – 3840 x 2160
At the higher 4K resolution, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER was equal to the GTX 1070 in performance, but 47% faster than the GTX 1060. It was also 10% slower than the Vega 56.
Its overall gaming score was the same as the GTX 1070, 42% higher than the GTX 1060, and 9.2% lower than the Vega 56.
The Division 2
Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is a third-person shooter game released in March 2019.
We tested it in two resolutions using the Extreme settings :
1080p : 1920 x 1080 pixels
1440p : 2560 x 1440 pixels
1080p Gaming Resolution
At 1080p, it was 3% faster than the GTX 1070 and 43% faster than the GTX 1060. However, both Vega 56 and RTX 2060 were 20% faster.
However, it’s important to note that the GALAX GTX 1660 SUPER was able to deliver an average frame rate way above 60 fps.
1440p Gaming Resolution
At 4K, it was 5% faster than the GTX 1070 and 69% faster than the GTX 1060.
If you like our work, you can help support our work by visiting our sponsors, participating in the Tech ARP Forums, or even donating to our fund. Any help you can render is greatly appreciated!
Strange Brigade
Strange Brigade is also a third-person shooter game, released in August 2018.
We tested it in two resolutions using the Vulkan API at the Ultra High settings :
1080p : 1920 x 1080 pixels
1440p : 2560 x 1440 pixels
1080p Gaming Resolution
At 1080p, it was 6.5% faster than the GTX 1070 and 52% faster than the GTX 1060. The Vega 56 was just 14% faster.
1440p Gaming Resolution
At 4K, it actually extended its lead over the GTX 1070 to 14%, and the GTX 1060 to 58%! It was now just 11% slower than the Vega 56.
Metro Exodus
Metro Exodus is a relatively new first-person shooter game, released in February 2019.
We tested it in two resolutions using the Ultra settings :
1080p : 1920 x 1080 pixels
1440p : 2560 x 1440 pixels
1080p Gaming Resolution
It didn’t do so well in Metro Exodus. At 1080p, it was 6.5% slower than the GTX 1070, and just 29% faster than the GTX 1060.
2160p Gaming Resolution
At 4K, it was 5.5% slower than the GTX 1070, and 31% faster than the GTX 1060.
Ashes of the Singularity
Ashes of the Singularity is a 2016 game that supports multi-core processing and asynchronous compute.
We tested it in two resolutions using the DirectX 12 API at the Extreme settings :
1080p : 1920 x 1080 pixels
1440p : 2560 x 1440 pixels
1080p Gaming Resolution
It didn’t do well in AOTS, where it was 14% slower than the GTX 1070, and 35% faster than the GTX 1060 at 1080p.
1440p Gaming Resolution
It did better at 1440p, where it tied with the GTX 1070, and was 67% faster than the GTX 1060!

GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 Super : Performance Summary
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is nothing more than the regular GTX 1660 with faster GDDR6 memory. This gives it the same GPU performance, but with 75% higher memory bandwidth.
This addresses a key deficit of the regular GTX 1660 cards, enough to give it a 10% to 25% boost in 1080p gaming performance according to NVIDIA.
The GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 Super (1-Click OC) is a slightly-overclocked variant of the GTX 1660 SUPER, with just a 30 MHz increase in the boost clock speed.
In our tests, it did pretty well, matching or even beating the GeForce GTX 1070 in many games :
Time Spy : 3% faster at 1080p, 2.4% faster at 4K
The Division 2 : 3% faster at 1080p, 5% faster at 4K
Strange Brigade : 6.5% faster at 1080p, 14% faster at 4K
Metro Exodus : 6.5% slower at 1080p, 5.5% slower at 4K
AOTS : 14% slower at 1080p, 1.9% slower at 4K
There’s something odd with the AOTS results, so we will be retesting the cards with the newer 441.08 driver that was released just after the launch.
But generally, the GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 Super card offers real good value for the money. For just $229, you are getting a card that’s basically equal in performance to the GeForce GTX 1070.
This is pretty impressive, because the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 has a 34% higher texture fill rate and 31% higher pixel fill rate on paper. What the GTX 1070 was short on was memory bandwidth, just 256 GB/s – 24% lower than the GTX 1660 SUPER.
GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 Super : Our Verdict
Its aluminium heatsink isn’t all that nicely-finished, but it does the job well enough, thanks to the four copper heat pipes and dual 90mm fans.
The fans only spin up when the GPU gets hot, which means it’s virtually silent until you start gaming. They are pretty quiet, but we noticed some rattling.
Now, it is factory-overclocked with a 15 MHz higher boost clock. But it’s called a 1-Click OC model because you actually need to use the 1-Click OC button in the GALAX Xtreme Tuner utility to increase the boost clock by another 15 MHz.
Interestingly, their latest Xtreme Tuner utility has not been updated to support this card, so the 1-Click OC option is greyed out. However, you can manually overclock the card… so you have to wonder – why bother with the 1-Click OC option?
A 30 MHz increase in the boost clock is nothing special. They should have just set the boost clock to 1815 MHz right out-of-the-box, and save everyone the hassle.
Our quibbles aside, the GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 Super is a decent card. More importantly, it’s cheaper than many of its competitors.
So yes, the GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 Super is definitely a card to consider, if you are looking for an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER card.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX SUPER graphics cards are here, and here is everything you need to know about these new SUPER edition cards!
Find out if these are the graphics cards you are looking for!
The Official NVIDIA GeForce GTX SUPER Tech Briefing
A few months after launching the RTX SUPER family of graphics cards, NVIDIA has finally unleashed the GTX SUPER series!
GeForce Product Manager Justin Walker briefed us on both cards in an exclusive pre-launch briefing, which we prepared for you here, including a short Q&A session :
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX SUPER Cards
NVIDIA announced two models, both using the same NVIDIA TU116-300 GPU, which powers the GTX 1660.
They promise to offer a significant performance boost over existing Turing-based GTX cards, with these changes :
Both GTX SUPER cards are targeted at 1080p gaming, with the GTX 1660 SUPER targeted at those who want all the bells and whistles turned on.
Here is a quick and dirty performance comparison provided by NVIDIA, showing the GTX 1660 SUPER delivering up to 50% better performance than the Pascal-based GTX 1060.
The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER offers an even bigger boost in performance for esports gamers – up to 2X better than the GTX 1050.
NVIDIA GTX SUPER Price + Availability
Both GeForce GTX SUPER cards will only be available from NVIDIA board partners. There will be NO Founders Edition for either cards.
The 1660 SUPER has a starting price of US$229, and is available starting 29 October 2019 from NVIDIA board partners.
Here is a list of online purchase options, and their prices (accurate as of 1 November 2019) :
The 1650 SUPER, on the other hand, will only be available from 22 November 2019 onwards. Its starting price will be revealed in November.
Increased TDP For Both
The 1660 SUPER is essentially the GTX 1660 with much faster GDDR6 memory. So, it only incurs a small 5 watt increase in its TDP, from 120 watts to 125 watts.
The 1650 SUPER, on the other hand, uses a larger GPU with higher clock speeds. This increases its TDP by 33% over the GTX 1650, from 75 watts to 100 watts.
NVIDIA GTX SUPER vs AMD Radeon RX 5500
Here is a comparison of the two new cards against the recently-announced AMD Radeon RX 5500 graphics card.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX SUPER graphics cards are here, and here is everything you need to know about these new SUPER edition cards!
Find out if these are the graphics cards you are looking for!
NVIDIA SUPER Teasers + Briefing
The new SUPER graphics cards are designed to extend NVIDIA’s performance lead against the new AMD Navi-based graphics cards.
NVIDIA actually started teasing us about its impending launch with this video from 26 May 2019, before Computex 2019 :
That was followed up on 28 June 2019, with another teaser NVIDIA Super video called “The wait is almost over…” with the hashtag #RTXon
Finally, just hours before they unveiled the new SUPER graphics cards, they gave us a cursory briefing :
As you can tell – they were basically not telling us much. That’s partly because the new cards are basically cut-down versions of more powerful but existing GeForce RTX models.
It’s okay. We have everything you need to know about the new SUPER graphics cards!
The NVIDIA RTX SUPER Graphics Cards
NVIDIA announced just three models, two of which replaces existing GeForce RTX models :
The GeForce RTX 2060 survives to remain the cheapest RTX card you can buy, while the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti remains the top-of-the-line RTX graphics card that money can buy.
NVIDIA RTX SUPER Price + Availability
First, these were the official launch and availability dates :
2 July 2019 (6 AM PST) : Soft launch – the NVIDIA SUPER series announced.
9 July 2019 : The 2060 SUPER and 2070 SUPER available for sale. Custom cards revealed.
23 July 2019 : The 2080 SUPER and custom cards available for sale.
The new cards will cost the same, or a little more, than current RTX cards…
NVIDIA dropped the RTX 2080 and RTX 2070 because they were no longer competitive, so this is what the new GeForce RTX 20 line-up will look like :
It looks like everyone posted the wrong TMU count for the RTX 2070S graphics card, giving it an unfair performance lead over the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT on paper.
The GeForce RTX 2070S actually has a TMU count of 160, not 184. This makes it slightly slower than the Radeon RX 5700 XT on paper, instead of being significantly faster in texture fill rate.
The rumoured 2080 Ti SUPER card will use a brand new Turing GPU. However, with no AMD Navi graphics card posing a direct challenge, it’s possible this card may never see the light of day.
If NVIDIA eventually brings it out, it will definitely have more CUDA Cores, more TMUs and probably more ROPs than the current TU102 that the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti uses.
This new GPU will also be “unlocked”, so card manufacturers will have carte blanche to go crazy with it. It will be possible for them to design a card with a 300 watt TDP!
We also expect it to have faster GDDR6 memory, probably 16 Gbps. That would give it a memory bandwidth of 704 GB/s, assuming NVIDIA sticks with a 352-bit bus width.
Updated @ 2019-06-30 – Updated the specifications of the NVIDIA Super cards.
– Updated details of their availability and custom cards
– Added a new Increased TDP section.
Updated @ 2019-06-28 – Added details about ASUS and GIGABYTE Super cards.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Primer
Designed to extend NVIDIA’s performance lead against the new AMD Navi-based graphics cards, the NVIDIA RTX SUPER graphics cards are based on cut-down versions of existing GeForce RTX models.
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER – replaces GeForce RTX 2080
The GeForce RTX 2060 survives to remain the cheapest RTX card you can buy, while the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti remains the most powerful RTX graphics card that money can buy.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Price + Availability
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER has a launch price that starts at $699 / ~£560 / ~€623 / ~RM 2,875. This makes it $100 more expensive than the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER.
Here are some direct purchase links and prices of various AIB custom cards (prices accurate as of 18 August 2019) :
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (US | UK | MY) comes in a large cardboard box that doubles as a stand. Let’s take a quick look around, before we unbox it and see what we find inside!
The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (US | UK | MY) package is rather basic, but for those who are still using monitors with DVI ports, the bundled DP-to-DVI dongle will be very useful.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Hands On!
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (US | UK | MY) has the full NVIDIA TU104 GPU with 3072 stream processors.
This gives it 192 TMUs and 64 ROPS, delivering a peak output of 349 GT/s and 116 GP/s, thanks to its higher clock speeds.
Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory runs at a higher speed speed of 1937.5 MHz, giving it a peak memory bandwidth of 496 GB/s.
Even though the TU104 GPU is fabricated on the 12 nm process technology, the card only needs 250 watts of power.
NVIDIA Turing
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX SUPER series continues to use the NVIDIA Turing microarchitecture, the first to introduce real-time ray tracing capabilities and new Tensor Cores.
It also continues to benefit from NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super-Sampling), which can be used to deliver better than TAA quality with a significantly lower performance penalty, or much better image quality – equivalent to 64X super sampling.
[adrotate group=”1″]
RTX 2080 SUPER Power Requirements
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (US | UK | MY) is a true SUPER version of the GeForce RTX 2080.
It uses the full TU104 GPU with additional 256 stream processors, so it comes to no surprise that it would require 250 watts of power as well.
Like the GeForce RTX 2080 and the RTX 2070 SUPER, you will need a power supply with both 6-pin and 8-pin PCI Express power cables.
RTX 2080 SUPER Display Ports
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (US | UK | MY) has three DisplayPort 1.4 ports, each supporting up to 8K HDR resolution at 60 Hz, or 4K HDR at 120 Hz or more.
There is also a tiny USB-C VirtualLink port, which allows you to connect a VR headset. But guess what – it works like a standard USB-C port, so you can also connect any USB-C device to it!
For compatibility with older displays, there is a HDMI 2.0b port, which supports up to 4K HDR displays at up to 60 Hz… as well as a DP-to-DVI dongle, which allows you to hook it up to older monitors with a DVI port.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Benchmarking Notes
In this review, we will take a look at its gaming performance, in comparison to 7 other graphics cards :
We recorded the peak exhaust temperatures of those cards, to see how much heat they throw out. Take a look…
Note that these are not the recorded temperatures, but how much hotter the exhaust air is above ambient temperature.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Noise Level
In case you are wondering how loud the cooler is, we recorded it running Time Spy Extreme benchmark at the 4K resolution.
The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (US | UK | MY) is quite a bit louder than the RTX 2070 SUPER (US | UK | MY), and much louder than the RTX 2060 SUPER (US | UK | MY).
But the two fans sure do keep it running cool, even during heavy loads!

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER – Our Verdict!
Coming up with the RTX SUPER cards was easy for NVIDIA. They reused the same NVIDIA Turing GPUs that powered the RTX 20 series.
But of the three RTX SUPER cards they released, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (US | UK | MY) is the one true SUPER card.
While the RTX 2070 SUPER and RTX 2060 SUPER use cut-down versions of the RTX 2080 and RTX 2070 cards respectively, the RTX 2080 SUPER uses the full TU104 GPU and came with higher clock speeds, and faster GDDR6 memory.
This allows it to be much faster than a regular RTX 2080, at the same price point!
NVIDIA naturally dropped the RTX 2080, offering consumers the choice of the much faster RTX 2080 SUPER, or the much cheaper RTX 2070 SUPER.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (US | UK | MY) far outclasses the RX 5700, and the RX 5700 XT. But we managed to get our hands on the Radeon VII, which arguably is its closest AMD rival. Here is a summary of their performance in our six real world game benchmarks :
F1 2019 : RTX 2080S is faster by 11% (1080p), 13% (1440p) and 17% (2160p)
World War Z : RTX 2080S is 9% faster at 1080p and 1440p, Radeon VII is 4% faster at 2160p
The Division 2 : RTX 2080S is 17.5% faster at 1080p, 22-23% faster at 1440p and 2160p
Strange Brigade : RTX 2080S is 15% faster at 1080p, 12.5% faster at 1440p, but ties with the Radeon VII at 2160p
Metro Exodus : RTX 2080S is 10% faster at 1080p, 8.5% faster at 1440p, and just 5% faster at 2160p
AOTS : RTX 2080S is 5% faster at 1440p, and 12% faster at 2160p
Generally, we would say that GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (US | UK | MY) is roughly 10-15% faster than the Radeon VII and the RTX 2070 SUPER.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (US | UK | MY) is not only the one true SUPER card, it is the only one that can reliably deliver 4K gaming performance at 60 fps and beyond.
It is therefore, the logical choice, for those who want to game at 4K with most, if not all, of the graphics bells and whistles turned on.
However, you must be prepared to pay a 40% price premium of $200 over the RTX 2070 SUPER for roughly 12.5% better performance.
If you plan to game at 1440p, or don’t mind turning down some graphics features, buy the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER instead.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Hands On!
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER (US | UK | MY) has an NVIDIA TU104 GPU with 2560 stream processors.
This gives it 160 TMUs and 64 ROPS, delivering a peak output of 283 GT/s and 113 GP/s, thanks to its higher clock speeds.
Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory runs at a speed of 1750 MHz, giving it a peak memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s.
Even though the TU104 GPU is fabricated on the 12 nm process technology, the card only needs 215 watts of power.
NVIDIA Turing
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX SUPER series continues to use the NVIDIA Turing microarchitecture, the first to introduce real-time ray tracing capabilities and new Tensor Cores.
It also continues to benefit from NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super-Sampling), which can be used to deliver better than TAA quality with a significantly lower performance penalty, or much better image quality – equivalent to 64X super sampling.

RTX 2070 SUPER Power Requirements
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER (US | UK | MY) is a cut-down version of the GeForce RTX 2080, so it comes to no surprise that it would require 215 watts of power as well.
Like the GeForce RTX 2080, you will need a power supply with both 6-pin and 8-pin PCI Express power cables.
RTX 2070 SUPER Display Ports
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER (US | UK | MY) has three DisplayPort 1.4 ports, each supporting up to 8K HDR resolution at 60 Hz, or 4K HDR at 120 Hz or more.
There is also a tiny USB-C VirtualLink port, which allows you to connect a VR headset. But guess what – it works like a standard USB-C port, so you can also connect any USB-C device to it!
For compatibility with older displays, there is a HDMI 2.0b port, which supports up to 4K HDR displays at up to 60 Hz… as well as a DP-to-DVI dongle, which allows you to hook it up to older monitors with a DVI port.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER – Summary
Coming up with the RTX SUPER cards was easy for NVIDIA. They are basically cut-down versions of existing and faster graphics cards.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER (US | UK | MY) is essentially a GeForce RTX 2080 with 384 CUDA Cores disabled, but higher clock speeds to compensate.
This allows it to be almost as fast as a regular RTX 2080, just a whole lot cheaper! In fact, that was precisely why it replaced the RTX 2080, which was $200 more expensive.
Sadly, we currently do not have an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT to compare it with, only the Radeon RX 5700.
Needless to say, the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER far outclasses the RX 5700. But until we get our hands on its true rival – the Radeon RX 5700 XT, let’s compare it against its “junior”, the RTX 2060 SUPER in our six real world game benchmarks :
F1 2019 : 16% faster at 1080p, 19% faster at 1440p, 21% faster at 2160p
World War Z : 7% faster at 1080p, 15% faster at 1440p, 20.5% faster at 2160p
The Division 2 : 15.5% faster at 1080p, 20.5% faster at 1440p, 24% faster at 2160p
Strange Brigade : 17% faster at 1080p, 16.5% faster at 1440p, 15% faster at 2160p
Metro Exodus : 16% faster at 1080p, 17% faster at 1440p and 2160p
AOTS : 3% faster at 1080p, 9% faster at 1440p, 15% faster at 2160p
Generally, we would say that GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER (US | UK | MY) is roughly 12-18% faster than the RTX 2060 SUPER.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Game Bundle
Like the RTX 2060 SUPER, NVIDIA is bundling TWO GAMES – Wolfenstein : Youngblood and Control – with the RTX 2070 SUPER. They are worth at least $50, so that’s a really nice deal… if you like those games.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER – Our Verdict + Award
Now, there is nothing “super” about what’s really a cut-down version of the existing GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card.
What will really sell the RTX 2060 SUPER is the fact it offers a much better value proposition than the RTX 2080.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is basically a slightly slower GeForce RTX 2080 with a $200 discount.
That means you get a card that’s fast enough for 4K gaming at 60 fps or better in ⅔ of the games we tested, at what you used to pay for a GeForce RTX 2070!
That’s sure as heck worthy of our Reviewer’s Choice Award! Nice work, NVIDIA!
