Third-party reviews

What customers like about GALAX GeForce RTX 2070 Super

  • Excellent cooling performance, with some models running as low as 65-67°C under full load
  • Competitive price-to-performance ratio, often retailing significantly lower than other premium brands
  • Strong overclocking potential due to effective thermal management and high power limits
  • Features quiet operation with 'Silent Extreme' technology where fans stop during idle
  • High-quality aesthetics, including unique RGB lighting zones and attractive backplates
  • Great performance for 1440p gaming and highly improved 3D rendering times over previous generations

What customers don't like about GALAX GeForce RTX 2070 Super

  • Large physical dimensions (triple-fan models) requiring significant case clearance
  • Extreme Tuner software interface is often described as clunky or less user-friendly than competitors
  • Galax-specific models can be harder to find in certain regions, such as North America
  • Limited 4K performance when Ray Tracing is enabled without DLSS
  • High power consumption compared to non-Super variants, requiring a reliable 600W+ PSU
  • Reported build quality concerns from some users compared to top-tier flagship competitors

Verdict

The Galax GeForce RTX 2070 Super is a high-performance graphics card built on NVIDIA's 12nm Turing architecture, featuring 2560 CUDA cores, 320 Tensor cores, and 40 Ray Tracing cores. It is equipped with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 256-bit bus, delivering a 448 GB/s bandwidth and typical boost clocks of 1770 MHz, which can be further pushed via Galax's 1-Click OC software. Its main pros include exceptional 1440p gaming performance, support for real-time ray tracing and DLSS upscaling, and robust cooling solutions such as the 'Work The Frames' triple-fan system that maintains low load temperatures. However, potential cons include its high power consumption of 215W TDP, a bulky physical design that may require a large chassis, and the fact that activating intensive ray tracing features can significantly impact frame rates in 4K resolution.
