Gigabyte GV-N207SGAMING OC-8GD GeForce RTX 2070 Super Gaming OC 8G Graphics Card, 3X Windforce Fans, 8GB 256-Bit GDDR6, Video Card

OVERALL:This GPU worked right outside the box. I had no driver issues, my PC recognized it normally, clock speed is as advertised. I don't overclock my components, so I can't really speak for overclocking performance. It's not really noisy. At least in my experience.FRAMERATES, GAMING PERFORMANCE:I'm able to maximize all settings at 1440p and maintain a 70 minimum FPS in most games. I'll give you a brief list in high-max settings (Notice that my CPU is a Ryzen 5 3700x):Gears of War 5 - 80fpsF1 2019 - 70+fpsKingdom Come Deliverance - 80-100fpsCOD Modern Warfare 100~fpsTurn down some useless graphic settings (like anti-aliasing in higher resolutions), and you have 100+fps in most games. You won't notice a difference.As far as 4k gaming, this isn't the right card for 4k high-max settings. HOWEVER, you can easily achieve 4k60fps by turning down settings to low. Consoles (and new gen) already do this, so you're not really behind consoles. But 4k gaming is doable with this card.PRICE:Nvidia... If you're a PC gamer, you know about Nvidia's pricing. Price/performance is very very poor. This card should not be this expensive, considering how close the 5700 XT is to this card in performance. But AMD'S driver are still very, VERY bad. If you're on a budget, I'd suggest waiting for RTX 30xxx series, so this card (and probably the 2080Ti) goes down drastically in price. If you have the money though, go for it. It is a really good card.Hopefully this review was helpful. I don't go overboard with details... This is more of a gamer's perspective rather than a PC enthusiast-component expert.

For context I have an i7-8700k, 16gb of ram, and a 3840x1600 ultra-wide that I use with this card for gaming. This card is amazing, it handles all of the games I play, Elite Dangerous, Witcher 3, Doom, Tomb Raider, and Total War Warhammer at the highest settings, 60fps. The card does not stutter and rarely gets above 60c(keep in mind that I did change the fan curve though). The only downside is that the fans get pretty noisy, but I don't really mind because I use noise-cancelling headphones when gaming. If you don't mind the noise, this card is a great value and I'd definitely recommend it if you have a high end gaming pc like me, but you aren't looking for something insane like a 2080ti.P.S. make sure you get this card when it goes on sale, which it frequently does.

Short attention span version:It's quieter, faster, and runs about as hot (72c max) in my fractal core 500 case as my old GTX 1070 with a less aggressive fan curve ( my case has 2 120mm intake fans and 1 140mm exhaust fan). The 2070 super also has 3 fans whereas my 1070 has 2. Short attention span review concludes, this card is worth $539 at time of purchase in March of 2020. Real time Ray tracing may cause unintentional jump scares for the uninitiated.Novelization version of this review begins hereI received this GPU a day earlier than expected (On Saturday March 28th), and to be blunt, this was not my first choice for a RTX 2070 super, but rather, my ONLY choice. The shipping time on the rest of the GPUs was a month or more, apart from an EVGA blower card, and a triple slot card. Blowers are loud and my ITX case can't fit a triple slot card. Don't get me wrong, I like Gigabyte products, I just try to buy the card with the highest clock speed. This one boosts to about 1995MHz stock (Color me impressed), and doesn't get above 72c in my PC out of the box. I'm gonna tune the fans to be more aggressive as they're near silent at 75%, which seems to be the stock fan limit.So on to performance, so far I've only had the time to play a few games on this card, I run my games on a 27 inch 1080p 144hz monitor (see below). I upgraded from a GTX 1070, EVGA superclocked model, and holy hardware magic Batman, how do they get so much more out of the same amount of VRAM? I know the VRAM is pretty much 2x as fast on the 2070 super as the 1070 but still... I'm impressed!I've run these games so farControl everything maxed, RTX on full), runs butter smooth, I mean I'm getting startled by Jesse's reflection in the windows smooth. Man real time relections mess with my brain... I can see Jesse's reflection when I'm watching the threshold kids on the little TV's... The difference with RTX in this game is almost subtle until you shoot a window cause your reflection startles you.BeamNG Drive runs smoother too, I can really crank the reflections and other details, I can smash things with prettier details now.GTA Online about the only online game I play online, not much of a social gamer, it runs way smoother, same settings, can't turn the game any higher.My PC is as followsCore i5 9400FGigabyte RTX 2070 superMSI Z390l gaming edge ac ITX mobo16gb DDR4 Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 2666HP EX 920 512GB nVME SSDBe Quiet Pure Rock heatsinkSeasonic focus gold 550w semi modular ATX PSU2 uphere branded 120mm fans (top intake fans)All of this is stuffed in a Fractal Core 500 ITX caseNow, if you're wondering if this GPU fits in a fractal core 500, the answer is, technically, yes. I had to move the magnetic dust filter to the outside of the case. It isn't pretty but I don't build PC's to stare at, honestly I barely have the time to game. The GPU never got hotter than 72c, which is about the same temp my 1070 ran at, I'll probably make the fans a bit more aggressive.

There are so many in-depth technical reviews out there that I won't repeat them here. I researched video cards for hours and found that this particular maker and model of card is the best of the 2070 Super Cards. It ranks the highest and has a great price point. Not all 2070 Super Cards are the same. This one blows the doors off the rest. I've OC'd it some but then put it back to default (OC setting) and it's more than enough for what I need. I have a powerful PC and this card allows me to run all my games, so far, on the highest settings.

Works amazing with budget PC builds
