guys I am so excited about this week I have a big old box from AMD with CPUs and GPUs in them and I've set a bunch of time aside to do testing this week so I can bring you guys up to date detailed information on the new products actually one second gonna call coming in hello Nvidia alright well screw all this stuff I think I'll just work on this instead so this isn't the first time this has happened and it definitely won't be the last time but the impending launch of AMD 7 nanometer products both rise in 3000 series CPUs and the Navi based Radeon 5000 series GPUs has spawned some competition we're not expecting much from Intel on the CPU side until later this year but NVIDIA has stepped in with today's launch of the Super versions of our TX series graphics cards to give AMD's still unreleased Navi cards a hard time and hopefully if you're in videos marketing department steal their thunder now I can't say for sure if NVIDIA has been planning this launch for a while or if they've just had it in their back pocket waiting for the next move from Radeon technologies group but we have known that AMD is launching on July seventh 7/7 that's on Sunday by the way for quite some time so NVIDIA slipping in this launch of the RT X 2060 super and 2070 super only five days before is probably just coincidence there is an RT X 2080 super on the way to by the way we're just not quite sure of the launch date for that yet but let's try to look past the drama between AMD and NVIDIA and focus on what this GPU launch means for gamers at home when it comes to the graphics cards available to you in the mid to high-end range are about 350 to 700 dollars so I've done my best to quickly sum up the changes with this handy chart you can see the previous lineup and pricing next to the updated lineup and pricing and note that Nvidia is replacing the existing RT X 2070 and RT X 2080 with the new Super versions so the RT X 2060 will still be around and will cost 350 dollars the 2060 super will be $400 the 2070 super will be $500 and the 2080 super will be $700 so for the 2070 at least this means that the founders Edition and third-party versions will start at the same price of 500 dollars which I like since that's less confusing than having a founders editions at 600 and normal versions that are 500 and some special versions that are still 600 the point being though that non super Archie x20 70s and 20 80s pretty much sucked now and they will be gradually phased out but hey maybe that means that you'll see some bargains on them and then your future but honestly who would even want a 20 70 that's not super you that's gross but what's the real difference specs wise and under the hood apart from pricing the 2060 super is still based on the TU 106 GPU but has an increased core count from 1920 up to 2000 176 also expanded memory bus from 192 bit to 256 bit and 8 gigs of DDR 6 instead of 6 the memory is still running at 14 gigabits per second but the expanded bus ups the bandwidth to 448 gigabytes per second TVP is also increased from a hundred and sixty watts to 175 watts and although the base clock is increased about hundred megahertz the boost clock that's listed actually went down from 1680 to 1650 but during testing both of the cards the 2060 non-super and 2060 super ran at more like 1850 to 1900 megahertz so that really didn't have a huge impact the 2070 Super meanwhile has a core GPU upgrade and is now based on the T 104 instead of the TU 106 like the original 2070 this means that the coup de coeur count is bumped up to 2560 from the previous 2,304 TVP is also up to 215 Watts formerly 175 this also means that n vlink SLI is now supported on the arc TX 2070 super and even though I don't usually recommend a 2-way set up for mid-tier cards I would rather have that option than not so that's kind of a nice bonus too we also have about a hundred and fifty megahertz increase on the based and boosts clocks for the 2070 from reference there are also additional sm units and texture units and pretty much the same memory configuration with eight gigs of GDD our six running at the same speed as for the r-tx 2080 super Nvidia is still holding back on detailed info apart from the price and that it exists but they do say it will be faster than the Titan XP that's big a little peak and it will be replacing the existing r-tx 2080 or $700 and yes again that means that the founders edition won't have that $100 price premium over third party cards and now on to testing and let me be direct I ran all of these tests fresh and if we're being honest what you really want to see in a comparison benchmark is how these cards compare to the new Radeon rx 50 750 700 XT but I can't do that until Sunday and I wasn't given a whole lot of time to run these benchmarks since this information came kind of late so today we have an all Nvidia benchmark party focusing on the performance of the new super cards relative to the existing non super RT X cards and come back on Sunday if you'd like to see these numbers updated with performance vs. team read the test bet I'm using is based on an as Roxy 390 Taichi ultimate motherboard and an Intel Core i $9.99 hundred K running at 4.8 gigahertz across all cores it's cooled by the new Noctua Nhu 12 8 tower cooler the memory is a set of g.skill royal RGB at 3600 mega Hertz cast latency 16 and we're running Windows 10 version 1903 which is installed on a 512 gig Samsung 970 pro m dot 2 nvme SSD we are powered by an EVGA supernova g3 750 watt power supply and these tests were run on an open testbed not in a case just FYI last thing to point out is that I do not have a Founders Edition r-tx 27 t Nvidia had third-party versions sampled back when they were requiring both a $500 and $600 version of the arc TX 2070 to be sent to reviewers after some internal debate I decided to just go ahead and test with the MSI gaming zrt X 2070 which was originally $600 but the 2070 is are all going to be somewhat normalized around the $500 price now there's still going to be some more expensive cards for third-party manufacturers but it won't have that $600 price from the founders Edition so I'm pretty sure it is ok to classify this as a $500 card going forward that said here are your benchmarks so there you have it guys it wasn't too surprising to me but the 2060 super is faster than the 2060 but slower than the 2070 the 2070 super is faster than a 2070 and actually comes pretty close to the 2080 in some tests but still stays in its lane without stepping on Big Brother's toes too much of course I can only imagine what this will mean for the expected performance of the r-tx 2080 super let's look at some cumulative numbers to get more specific though so if you're moving from the r-tx 2060 to the 2060 super you should expect about 13 percent better performance at 1080 about 16% better performance at 1440 and about 18% better performance at 4k if you're moving from an RT X 2070 to the 2070 super you should expect about 8.5 percent better performance at 1080 about 8.6 percent better performance of 1440 and about 9.2 percent better performance at 4k and again this is comparing a third-party overclocked r-tx 2070 to the new founders edition RT X 2070 super now I do still have more data that I have gathered and I do have more to say about these cards but I will be continuing my analysis once I can speak more openly about the navi cards that AMD still has under embargo so for that reason I'm keeping this video pretty simple and maybe a little bit shorter what questions can be answered for now though there are a few first are the 2060 and 2070 super significantly faster than their non super counterparts answer would be yes by about 10 to 15 percent based on my testing has Nvidia just succeeded in juicing the performance of their GPU lineup that will be compared to Navi just days before na'vi launches yes that's pretty sneaky of them do consumers now have more GPUs to choose from including several NVIDIA GPUs that offer more performance for either the same amount of money or even less money if you're looking specifically at founders Asian cards which you shouldn't be but you can kind of look at it that way anyway yes as well and I think that's pretty much the note I'm going to end this video on I do have more to come very soon so don't forget to subscribe to my
