EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 Super XC Gaming, 8GB GDDR6, Dual HDB Fans, RGB LED

*NO* *COIL* *WHINE* ... can't stand coil whine, can't hear any even at 150fps. GREAT WORK EVGA!If it had coil whine, it'd drive me batty in minutes of doing CAD work or game modding work with the music off.Good construction of solid materials, doesn't seem like they've cheaped out.Fan noise is not terrible, you can hear it but it's not offensive, and certainly isn't a deal-breaker.Card does not hit 80C even running Quake II RTX at around 65~70FPS for hours.Comes with a three year warranty. This should be a given, but isn't always the case with OTHER brands.Works beautiful with my Ryzen 3700x system for content creation and some gaming.ZERO driver related issues. I can't say the same for my former AMD card (which eventually did die).I bought this because of Nvidia's support of the content creation community, they make plugins for Photoshop and some other software, and I can make normal maps (like bump mapping) for my game creation stuff nicely with it. The Ray-Tracing part of the card lets me preview textures in real time in Substance Designer, and lets me preview models in real time inside 3D modeling software. Anyone who's worked in the industry knows how awesome this is.For almost 40 year old me, playing Quake II RTX (which I paid 5 bucks for on Steam) again 20 years later, and enjoying it every bit as much as I did 20 years ago (actually a lot more) was worth every penny, even if it cost a bit much.The included power link, while requiring a bit of setup to use, is nice to keep the cables out of the way in the system. I would say that definitely adds 20~25$ USD value to the product, and would desire to get this again on my next system build.Big plus: NO RGB, I didn't want to pay for it, heck this case doesn't even have a window. Glad it didn't cost me extra.Only con? Cost a little much, but that's the state of the video card market in general if you want a good card that's going to last a few years. You'll have to pay a bit extra for it.Content creation is best done on Nvidia cards - as much as I loved my cheap AMD cards, they make great CPU's but I'll give a hard pass on the video boards until they get their drivers in line. In fact, on my Polaris-based AMD video card, I had to down-clock the core 50~100mhz on my RX 480 just to get it to not crash in Windows 10. None of that nonsense here, and it absolutely is a HUGE upgrade compared to what I had before.Good plus: I could upload my invoice to EVGA upon time of registration, so I won't need to dig for it later.Thank-you for a good solid product. You've made a customer very happy. I like the invoice upload feature on your site - PLEASE keep that as it's handy and shows you care about customer service and experience. Thanks!

This is a very powerful card (roughly double the performance of my previous card - a 1060 6 GB EVGA with only 1 fan)I mostly game on a 1080p, 60hz monitor w/ a second monitor for streaming to Twitch. My previous setup was using the CPU for live stream encoding as the previous card's NVENC encoder was fine, but not great. So my intention was that this new card allow me to use the NEW NVENC encoder to free up my CPU plus give me a little boost for 1080p gaming as well.I was absolutely floored by how much of an improvement I saw. I maxed out settings for most of my games - (SubNautica is a fav) but, beyond the additional quality, the response time improved & the load times for animations and the smoothness of those animations improved greatly - beyond what I anticipated. The games didn't just look better, they felt faster and more responsive.For Folding@home projects, this card could complete the same task as my old one in about half the time.Overall, my system is now quieter, cooler, and faster.speaking of card noise, I can't hear it at all over the sound of my usual case fans. I don't hear any coil whine or fan noise, but to be fair, I have a nice large case that could be shielding the sound, and I have a lot of fans including the AIO water cooler that could be masking it.Overall, a great card and a good deal for the price.

I've been running a GTX970 since it came out in 2014, and as such wanted to take the plunge into a new GPU. Surprisingly, 6 years later it is still a great card! Last year I upgraded to a 43" 4k screen however and my hardy lil' 970 has been showing it's age ever since. My main gripe with the market currently are the bloated pricing and the fact that 4k gaming isn't *quite* where it needs to be to merit me dropping $1000+ on a card. Enter the RTX2070 Super. With Christmas gift cards and a little bit of pocket change I bought this for $530. The card is quiet, and holy crap does it show a huge improvement graphically. Can it run everything in 4k Ultra at 60fps or above? Nope, but neither can the $1200 RTX 2080Ti, which is exactly why I went with this card. I wasn't expecting miracles, I was expecting a huge quality improvement over my six year old car and that's what I got. If you're running a GTX1080Ti, I'd sit this out and wait for the 2100 series that is rumored to be out later this year. I personally think that the price of the card is the best bang for your buck right now in terms of frame rates and the accessibility of 4k gaming. Most games I've thrown at it CAN be run at 4k on ultra. My pride will not be wounded if certain ones need to be turned down to high or even medium, but I digress. If you're like me and want a card to upgrade your 5+ yr old one that will be a solid bridge between the past and when they release a card capable of handling any 4k thing you throw at it, I'd recommend this one.
