What we don't like about GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 2070 Super

  • Large 3-slot physical footprint that may not fit in smaller or compact PC cases
  • Premium pricing that often exceeds the base MSRP of other RTX 2070 Super variants
  • RGB Fusion 2.0 software is frequently reported as buggy, primitive, and difficult to use
  • Instances of audible coil whine reported by some users, particularly under high frame rate loads
  • The 8GB VRAM capacity is increasingly seen as a potential bottleneck for high-resolution textures in modern AAA titles

Verdict

The Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8G is a premium high-end graphics card built on the NVIDIA Turing architecture, featuring 2,560 CUDA cores, 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit interface, and a significant factory overclock with a boost clock of 1905 MHz. Its standout physical feature is the Windforce Stack 3X cooling system, which utilizes three 100mm overlapping fans and advanced RGB 'Halo' lighting for superior thermal management and aesthetics. Main advantages include its exceptional 1440p gaming performance, an industry-leading 7-video output configuration (3x HDMI, 3x DisplayPort, 1x USB-C), and a robust 12+2 power phase design for stable extreme overclocking. However, notable drawbacks include its massive triple-slot footprint which may restrict case compatibility, and frequently reported issues with audible coil whine under heavy load.
