Asus GeForce RTX 2070 Super Overclocked 8G EVO GDDR6 Dual-Fan Edition VR Ready HDMI DisplayPort Gaming Graphics Card

REVIEWTo say a graphics card can change your life sounds a little bit crazy. But upgrading to an ASUS RTX 2070 SUPER O8G from an ASUS GTX 1050TI HAS changed my life. After the initial shock of newly found graphical clarity in games like COD Warzone and RDR2, I find myself way more RELAXED while playing my favorite games. Whereas before, on my 1050TI, I felt like I was always rushed and stressed while playing games that required higher graphical fidelity than my graphics card could render, overclocked or not. I found myself running on 1600x900 resolution just to keep my FPS above 60. It was more stressful at times than fun, and a lot of my time was spent tinkering with it just to make it run properly.I'm going to game, whether I'm running onboard graphics... or I'm rocking a Titan. Owning an ASUS RTX 2070 SUPER O8G has been a huge quality of life improvement. I mention the O8G specifically to distinguish it from the A8G which, from my research, is overclocked to a lesser degree. If you aren't interested in overclocking, this is a superior card to the A8G because it's overclocked to a higher degree out of the box.I also find this product appealing because a 2070 SUPER GPU is the sweet spot for price to performance.TESTINGI've found that the product stays cool under full load at about 68 celcius. No problems with FPS. Perfect for high refresh rate monitor. This is testing with games like RDR2 and COD Warzone. If you intend on using this for such games, I find no reason to spend any more.Lastly, it looks cool. I'm impressed with the build quality of the surrounding plate and dual-fan cooling solution. I was also pleasantly surprised by the sleek purple and blue RGB strip along the side plate.

I've been using this card for 4 months now and might I say this card works absolute wonders. Running Minecraft Ray tracing with SUES PTGEI9 shaders at 60fps and 32 chunks with MINIMAL lag, only reaching 45fps in intense areas and only uses 60% of the GPU (Which means you can record seamlessly).The 8GB VRAM IS A GOD SEND FOR VR, if you plan on getting or play VR GET THIS CARD!!! VRChat NEVER has any issues anymore, even with crasher avatars (which overload your GPU with intense shaders to crash you).THE DUAL BALL BEARING FAN ON THIS GRAPHICS CARD IS AMAZING IF YOU OVERCLOCK THE GPU OR JUST THE FAN, BUT IS LOUD WHEN OVERCLOCKED! Running the most intense benchtest with the fan speed OVERCLOCKED to 100% and the GPU itself by 88%, the GPUs heat remained a steady 48*C for me due to my fan setup. Impressive! I mainly use this overclock for VR games or rendering videos.Comes with a software suite to fine tune to your liking, giving statistical graphs and readings within a 0.5 second delay. As stated above, overclocking, overclocking, overclocking. Why use MSI afterburner when the ASUS suite literally allows you edit and visualize everything? Comes with a scan that determines the best overclocking for your PC so you don't damage it yourself too. Silent running is great, but expect poor preformance obviously when in it. Do I say more?Overall Rating : This is the best GPU for your buck at the current time. Not too expensive and just the right amount of power. Good job ASUS! If only your phones were just as good.

Color me surprised that I received a -refurbished- card in a non standard package.Absolutely nothing about this listing indicated that this product wasn't new.However, the card doesn't have any damage from shipping or otherwise and it is working just fine.Pros:* This is a good card and with 8GB of GDDR it will hold its own for a few years past cards with 6GB* Runs with with reasonable temps even at maximum load* The cards fans only spin up when the card starts to push 60 degrees Celsius, so it's silent at idle (even with fans spinning I don't noticeably hear them.)* Doesn't require a massive power supply to be just fine (even 650w is likely enough depending on the rest of the system)Cons:* A little bit pricey considering RTX 3080/90 are out now with 3070 coming soon... assuming you could even obtain one of these cards without paying 5x the market value from a scalperVS. RTX 3070/3080* The 30xx cards are absolutely massive power hogs requiring easily 150 to 300 watts more than the 20xx cards* We now know 30xx cards are shipping with manufacturing deficiencies that cause crash to desktop at clocks over 2GHz* While a 20xx card overclocked is still likely slower than an underclocked 30xx, at least you CAN overclock a 20xx* the 2070 super basically costs the same as a 3070, which is painful. However, consider that the 2070 requires less power, is overclockable, and you can actually buy a 2070 super.* Maybe in a few years once the kinks are worked out the 30xx cards will be worth buying, but considering the market right now I might just wait for a 40xx and hope NVidia doesn't blow their own foot off with a shotgun next time.
