when I was in Vietnam for the GOC that's the gal acts overclocking carnival I couldn't help but notice the new designs of our TX cards they're Galax was bringing to the market and in particular the RT x 27 te x OC caught my eye and of course there has been controversy pretty much every our TX card that has been released so far in particular in australia i've liked the 2070 the most out of the bunch even with the release of the RT x 2060 which i think in the US is probably hitting the best out of the RT x 2003 vellieux for money which you haven't seen already i'll put the link up here for the review but in australia the RT x 2070 is in my opinion the better play not just in terms of having more performance than the RTF 2060 but also better value for money coming in currently at around 750 Aussie dollars and in Europe I believe they call this the KF a2 we should also do a good job of coming in the lower end of the pricing of RT X 2070 cards but of course the question remains does this card live up to its name does it perform well whilst providing that value well today we're gonna put it on the test bench and we're also gonna be comparing it to the likes of the RT X 27 t20 80/20 atti from Oris as well as comparing it to a 1080 TI 2 so what are we waiting for let's get this thing on the test bench and see what it can do so I just spent some quality time with this r-tx 2070 graphics card right here testing out things like the thermals acoustics and also the fan speeds themselves so what we had here throw up a graph for you guys this was while it was overclocked as well and another thing I've been testing recently is in hotter ambient temperatures so the ambient temperature in here is 28 degrees at the moment and this cooler performed phenomenally well 60% fan speeds is just like the r-tx 2060 review I did recently seems like it's the sweet spot and not just out of the box but also if you want to overclock as well so overclocked we're getting 44 decibels of noise and 67 degrees of temperature now the auto fan speeds ironically came in at 59% and that got a little bit quiet at 43 decibels one decibel quite a bit also one degree hotter and that's because the PWM itself starts fluctuating a little bit you're not staying at a constant 59 percent you're actually fluctuating a little bit staying under the magic number of 70 degrees but also looking at 80 percent things start to get a lot louder a lot quicker 61 degrees temperatures max then 100% the fan speeds are simply unbearable you get a 60 decibels and noise but you do get a good temperature of 58 degrees so really only 30 degrees above load at 28 degrees ambience but one thing to mention that this cooler is going through the extra features that put on board they've instead used 100 mil fans this time around and as we saw with those thermals they're doing a great job of keeping this graphics card cool but also quiet as well with that magical 60% fan speed at the rear of the car they've included three DisplayPort outs HDMI 2.0 and a USB type-c as well measuring up the card in terms of length you've got 285 millimeters that you'll need for clearance if you wish to mount this in your case you're requiring 8 and 6 pin connector as well as having RGB on the side and on the front which you can change with the extreme tuner software I couldn't find anywhere in the NVIDIA GeForce to turn these LEDs off but with the software itself you can download it it looks pretty simple and pretty polished I was impressed you do get an extra 25 millivolts extra Headroom to play with with overclocks as opposed to M after burner which only has the hundred millivolt but you also get a power limit of a hundred and eleven percent which on an Archie X twenty seventy especially a value proposition like this one is actually not a bad thing now actually one of the coolest features as you can see right beside me here is the complete silence of the gravis guard unless you're loading up video games and putting a strain on this gravis card then it will stay quiet however the cool thing in the extreme tuner software is that you can individually control the fans so if you only want one of the fans going you can do that I mean the practicality of it isn't really there but it's just one cool thing that I noticed in the software but anyway guys I'm gonna get back to testing and finishing up the rest of the test with these graphics cards around here at 1440p ultra wide then come back with some solid scores and we can present a conclusion for the r-tx 2070 so we just finished up doing all the benchmarks and the r-tx 2070 EXO si managed to overclock an extra one hundred and forty mega Hertz on the core and then on the memory we've got a whopping eight hundred and thirty megahertz this led the effective speeds on the memory about 15.6 gigahertz and then on the core clock itself we got around two point zero seven gigahertz on that this enabled it in the benchmarks and will throw up some numbers for you here with shadows of the Tomb Raider first to score pretty high now I tested at 1440p ultra wide for you guys and the numbers were very impressive coming out of this graphics card it was slightly edging out the auras 2017 and that has a pretty big cooler on it so what this proves is that this card and the cooler that Galax have implemented are perfectly fine for handling a twenty seventy both out of the box and even during summer heat when it's overclocked but ultimately what we see with the numbers here is that the 2080 ti that's in another league both in performance but also price and then the twenty eighty s coming out ahead of even an overclocked 2070 and that's coming out ahead of a 1080 TI and that's actually coming close to the 1080 TI which is then well ahead of the 1080 moving on to the next game we're pulling up here is Far Cry 5 a little bit in favor of the previous generation cards in comparison to other games but still showing a difference there with a 2080 kind of matching the 1080 TI 2080 ti pulling ahead but this resolution is definitely a sweet spot for all these cards in terms of maxing out the performance except for one title and we'll pull that out next that is Rainbow six siege where in the case of the r-tx 2080 ti that's starting to get a little bit CPU bound so the other scores here are starting to push a little bit closer to that gravis car but the 2070 exo c is edging out the 2070 or s ever so slightly in some of these titles it's a very close battle but that's ultimately because it comes with higher clocks out of the box but also when it's overclocked to now the next time we're pulling up here is hitman two and a very similar trend is following with older graphics cards being where they should be and those 20 70s coming very close to one another but still showing that this card when it's overclocked can get some pretty closed others to that of not just the ten atti but also the 2080 itself and then moving on to the last title here we've got battlefield 5 we're at 1440p ultra wide with ultra settings on max here we saw that this card was performing very well getting over 80 FPS but if you were to drop the settings down to high with this gravis car with a 1440p ultrawide monitor you'd be having a great gaming experience at a hundred Hertz with this grave scope being able to push those frame rates and to be honest high in ultra settings I love playing on high your able to extract extra frame rates without taking pretty much any of a hit to the visual fidelity in the game itself there running through some of the synthetics for you guys 3d Mach 5 strike shows that the 2080 Ti is pulling well ahead of the other cards here but the 20 80 and the 1080 TI coming very close and then the 20 70 beating the 1080 both overclocked and out of the box but moving on now to the power consumption figures because these pretty much relate to those scores that you saw before with 3d mark firestrike just changing things to what's where the 28 ETA is using the most power here but the 2070 exo see it is doing pretty well there's nothing outstanding about its power consumption but it's not that bad either you would like to have a good 500 watt power supply running this thing day and day out but then the last synthetic we're gonna pull up for you guys it's time spy extreme where the RT x-series cards do better in relation to 3d mark 5 strike then their 10th series counterparts and so we saw here that the 2070 is edging closer to that 1080 TI it's actually very close and then the 2018 the 2080 ti pull well ahead in this benchmark but something crazy happened with the 2080 ti speaking of that this horas card here is my first time running into an artifact ting card you've heard stories on the web of cards failing having problems this card started to exhibit that artifacting behavior on stock out of the box settings and I've heard rumors about what it could be I've spoken to other people in the industry I've spoken to confirmed sources about different things so I may be making a dead catid video on to what I think exactly is the problem with the higher failure rates on some of these higher-end r-tx cards because I was able to fix it like relatively quickly it was nothing at all in terms of fixing it so stay tuned for a video on that that was actually very interesting something to come out of this but anyway back to this graphics card right here the e^x OC from gal axe and this thing I mean Galax know what they're doing the 10 series cards that all came through here on the channel I was impressed with every single one of them whether it was the value for money play like this one here or was the whole of fame that just went absolutely over the clouds and hit every single mark but also costed a premium this one right here is two sticks true to that package of delivering good value for money in that graphics card segment I think it's going for 760 ozzie dollars of retail at the moment but if you can pick this thing up on ebay for example to 20% off sales it's gonna be a really good buy I'm actually personally waiting for some of those sales so I can pick up a few of these myself but this card it's got at all it does it all acoustics thermals over clocks and it overclocked quite well at least the sample we had here it's got the RGB bling it's got good display options at the back it's got great software support very simple very easy to use but I guess there's not much else to say except Galax really know what they're doing when it comes to making a graphics card and as we said with the GOC the galaxy overclocking carnival one of the hardcore overclockers who actually competes in world competitions mad he's actually on the galaxy design team so that's awesome when they've got a pro overclocker designing these cards personally so that's the galaxy touch and I'm really impressed with his graphics card can definitely recommend it to you guys out there in the audience if you're thinking of getting one whether it be the gal expanding or the kf8 2 they're essentially the same company just Galax have to rebrand their company in Europe due to trademark issues but anyway guys that's that I don't know about America and the availability I'm told these will be coming out in America on the Galax store when they hit there I'll update the description for you guys being car get them in Australia for a pretty good price and that's about it for today's video guys if you enjoyed this one then be sure to hit that like button but also let us know in the comments section below what you think of the exo see I mean the sample I got here it just looks amazing that's just my personal opinion on it I really like what they've done with it the RGB is not too in-your-face and you can turn it off if you wish to you've also of course with the RT x-series got the ray-tracing and dl SS support so if you wish to use those in games then good luck and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon also if you want to see the inside scoop before it hits YouTube's loop then be sure to check us out on Instagram Tech es city
