at the start of this month nvidia touted their r-tx Super Series line of cards and these were a direct response to the upcoming launch of AMD's Navi graphics cards that is the 50 750 700 XT however the Super Series in its naming scheme is a little bit different to what you might expect for instance on the desk here we've got the RT X 2060 Super which comes in with 2176 scooter cause over that of the 1920 of the 2060 and it comes in at $50 us more however one interesting thing about this car is it's actually based off the RT X 2070 more so than the 2060 in that it has the same memory bus at 256 bit and it also has 8 gigabytes of vram giving it an extra 2 gigabytes of vram over that of the 2060 it also has high rate racing performance coming in with 6 Giga rays versus 5g you raised on the 2060 though today we're gonna focus on this $400 GPU compare it against the RT X 2060 RT X 2070 and also the 5,700 now I actually don't have the 5700 XT on hand which actually comes in at the exact same price as this card and that's in the mail so I will be doing a review on that separately soon here on the channel though that aside let's get into some of these gaming benchmarks and talk about who this card is for and why so going through some of the numbers here at 1080p in both 1440p we can see here with shadows of the Tomb Raider at 1080p it competes with the 5700 and pulls well ahead of that of the 2060 the 2070 still pulls ahead by just a little bit but that's because it's got 5 percent more CUDA cores on board moving over to the 1440p numbers it does start to pull ahead of both the 2060 and the AMD's 5,700 a little bit more in comparison to the 1080p numbers move over to strange Brigade we can see a similar trend here with a 2060 super does perform quite well both at 1080p and 1440p they're moving over now to Apex legends this is a game where AMD have optimized their graphics cards for this particular title and it does show on the numbers where the 5,700 is coming out well ahead but the 2060 super does still beat that up the 2060 comes very close to the 2070 and maybe over Tom Clancy's the division 2 at 1080p it does quite well but then it does pull ahead a little bit more 1440p and they're moving into dirt rally - both at 1080p and 1440p I noticed something a little bit different about this title and one thing I did in particular with the settings was put the anti-aliasing up pretty high and in this particular title the 2060 super does perform quite well against the r-tx 2070 RTX 2060 and the 5700 so I did a few more tests here at the studio and this is when I decided to test shadows of the Tomb Raider this time at 1080p with SMA at 4 times and this puts a lot of strain on the memory interface and here we can see the 2060 at 1080p actually comes close to that of the 5700 and then the 2070 super does pull comfortably ahead of both these other cards and then when we overclocked we did get some significant gains on the 2060 super that scaled better for the super card than the non super 2060 and then the 5,700 didn't do so well in this particular title when it was overclocked and then the last title we got up here is far cry new dawn 1440p with SMA a turned on ultra settings you see here that the super does come ahead of the 2016 but not by a whole lot and the 5700 actually pulls ahead by a little bit in this particular title looking at the power consumption figures we can see that we've got 302 watts roughly on the 2060 in shadows of the Tomb Raider overclocked it did a little bit more on the wattage and then twenty sixty super does juice a little bit more wattage a321 watts then overclock 345 the 5700 was the most efficient out of the box though overclocking this did see the wattage raise slightly above that of the 2060 so the gaming benchmarks out of the way we can see that the our TX 2060 super actually comes pretty close to that of the twenty seventy more so than the twenty sixty and a $50 us more I would easily buy this over the original twenty sixty if you wanted to go with the Nvidia or option course a fifty seven hundred fifty seven hundred XT are options from AMD but if you are wanting to extract some of those features that Nvidia offers for instance the game filter and also DL SS and ray-tracing and the last thing I'm gonna mention as well is the envy encoder where that's actually very good in their latest iteration of cheering GPUs besides the 1650 which actually uses the old envy encoder but the newest one on the RT X 2060 super just like the RT X 2060 will perform phenomenally well if you want to stream and not bog down your whole system especially if you don't have a lot of cores and threads this will do an excellent job and I'm gonna pull up a pass as foxes test results here where he showed that this is actually giving out better quality than that of h.264 CPU encoding at medium settings which is quite strenuous on your cpu for streaming but now focusing on this founder's card in particular at the back you've got a DVI dual link out you've got USB type-c to display outs and a hdmi 2.0 the weight of this card comes in roughly at 975 grams includes a backplate as well as having two additional 90 mil fans which do a very solid job of cooling from the results i've tested here in UniGene heaven when the card was overclocked we see it a hundred percent we're getting sixty-two degrees Celsius max temperatures this is in a twenty five degree ambient environment and that had 59 decibels of noise stepping it down to 80 percent we saw a maximum of 67 degrees fifty-three decibels and then what I feel is the sweet spot is 60% fan speeds 72 degrees Celsius and a 47 decibel max noise reading and then on to the auto fan speeds they waxed out a 52% 45 decibels and seventy-six degrees Celsius so the cooler implemented on the founders Edition I do like this solution it is doing a good job at cooling and keeping noises down if you wanted to make a custom fan profile and afterburner for example you can maybe set 20% idle speeds and then ramp that up to maximum of 60% and you'd have low noise and good temperatures so now in closing this review off for you guys the 2060 super a 400 USD is not the best value for money in 2019 but it is a better solution than both the 2060 and the 2070 in that value orientated segment of the mid-range and the features it does offer are pretty strong and I do like the cooling solution but here's where things start to get a little bit weird because in the u.s. you can get this for around the retail price of 400 USD and the r-tx 2060 is currently going for around 340 us then when I check the Australian prices you can currently get that for 474 ozzie and then this is coming in at over 689 Aussie dollars making the r-tx 2060 in Australia a much better buy if you're looking for value for money and you want to get a brand new card anyway guys if you enjoyed today's review then be sure to hit that like button for us also let us know in the comments section below what you think of the RTS 2060 super I've also reviewed the 5700 if you want to check that out I'll put the link up here for you guys the 5700 XT and also the 2017 super and 2080 super reviews will be coming on later this month if you want to see those the moment they dropped sub button ring the bell it's down there and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
