AMD cards don't perform great in AC Odyssey, so it's not surprising to see a sizeable 13 per cent advantage for the RTX 2070 Super over the RX 5700 XT at 1440p. Things change a bit at 1440p and 4K, where the RTX 2080 pulls out to a six to seven per cent lead over the 2070 Super, which itself is only about five per cent faster than the original RTX 2070. The average is nine percentage points higher than the original 2070, ten points higher than the RTX 2060 Super.
The RTX 2070 Super shows its chops right out of the gate here, scoring a very slightly higher average at 1080p than the full-fat RTX 2080. We begin with Assassins Creed Odyssey, a lush open-world game with a very convenient built-in benchmark. Hover to swap between best, worst and average frame-rates for each card, and click on the chart to go from frame-rate counts to percentages or vice versa. For quick summaries, you can see a bar chart below each video. Select the data points you want using the controls to the right of the video embed, then hit play to see how each card handles the test scene as it plays out in real time. Instead of static bar charts or YouTube videos with burnt in video metrics, we use a dynamic system that lets you see just the cards and resolutions you're interested in. If you've seen our benchmark pages on a desktop browser before, you'll know they look a different to those of most other sites. The Founders Edition Super card we tested looks nigh-identical to the original 2070, but it has more power under the bonnet.
Unlike the RTX 2060 Super, there's no VRAM upgrade to mention here - it's the same 8GB of GDDR6 and 448GB/s of memory bandwidth across the board. That's reflected in the specs chart below, where you can see the new card boasts more CUDA cores and a substantially higher boost clock than the original RTX 2070 design, but moves to the same 215W TDP of the RTX 2080. That means the 2070 Super is essentially a cut-down RTX 2080 instead of a scaled-up RTX 2070, so we can expect a generous boost in performance - at the expense of higher power consumption and heat generation. Probably the most critical nugget of information is this: this new card is built around the same TU104 graphics processor as the RTX 2080, rather than the TU106 GPU used by the RTX 2060, RTX 2060 Super and RTX 2070. We've also included the Radeon 7 in our charts, as even though this card isn't being made any more, it is still AMD's nominal flagship with a recommended retail price of around $699/£669/€739 - substantially more than the 2070 Super.īefore we start looking at the results, it's helpful to know how exactly the RTX 2070 Super compares to its predecessors. The XT saw a price drop to $399/£379/€419 just hours before its launch, meaning the two cards aren't in direct competition, but it's still interesting to see how they compare. We've tested the 2070 Super in a smörgåsbord of recent and not-so-recent titles at resolutions from 1080p to 4K, so you'll be well equipped to make the right decision.Īs well as replacing the RTX 2070, the 2070 Super was also designed to head off AMD's new upper mid-range card, the RX 5700 XT. If you're considering the card or one of its competitors, you'll need to know how it performs - so that's where these benchmarks come into play.
That's the same sum as the original RTX 2070 Founders Edition released in October last year, so we're seeing a considerable upgrade in value after less than twelve months. The RTX 2070 Super is the new high-end graphics card to get, boasting a level of graphics performance that outstrips anything from AMD - apart from perhaps the outgoing Radeon 7 - at a rather reasonable price: £479/$499/€529.
