Based on TR's article, the 2060 Super is about 10 - 15% slower than the 2070 Super. AFAIK the 2070 is about the same performance as the 2060 Super.

So the question comes down to whether or not saving money on a 2070 is more important to you than the 10%+ performance uplift. That of course depends on how demanding you are of your gaming experience and how long you intend to use the card.

As someone who tends to upgrade in 5 year (or more) cycles, I've been looking at 2070 Supers with an eye to the long term.
What we have today is way too much pluribus and not enough unum.

I'm looking to purchase a new graphics card. I'm currently stuck on choosing between a RTX 2070 non super or RTX 2070 Super for $140 more. They are both the same EVGA XC Ultra. Just wondering if the super version is worth the $140 over the non-super 2070 as the non-super 2070 prices have dropped a lot and are now cheaper than 2060 super.

Also I know EVGA makes good graphics card and their customer service is the best but I've been hearing mixed reviews on the RTX XC/XC Ultra models with the negative reviews saying that there there is a loud clicking sound everytime the fan stops and starts. Would like to know if this is a rather common problem on EVGA's RTX cards.


The GeForce RTX 2070SUPER is a cut-down Tu102 rather than the Tu104 in the regular 2070. NVidia’s evil marketing geniuses sure do keep the product names as confusing as possible. Think of the 2070SUPER as a discounted 2080 instead of a premium 2070. From that perspective, it looks like a better value. The lack of competition at the high end has allowed NVidia to push those prices into the stratosphere

If you're not averse to switching teams, the 5700 XT is faster than a standard 2070 almost across the board, while being $100+ less expensive than the 2070 Super.
