are you in the market for a GTX 1080 or a GTX 1070 or you're possibly waiting for an Archie X 2070 to magically drop down from the heavens Yussef that's your cue to drop a RT X 2070 out of frame so it looks like it's dropping down from the heavens so the RT X 2070 is finally released into the wild and it's actually the first r-tx card that I like in terms of dare I say value for money when we look at what you can buy one for at the moment you can get one for currently five hundred and thirty US dollars or in a straight eight hundred and thirty AUD and at this price point it does post some decent figures I'll pull up some synthetics for you guys at the moment so you can see how it performs against the other cards in the stacks then you may be thinking of purchasing in terms of value for money you see here it's beating out of ten eighty comfortably it's also beating out the ten seventy by a longshot however it does of course still fall behind the GTX ten atti now this card itself the gigabyte RT x 27 TAC edition I did manage to overclock this thing about 80 megahertz on the core and about 400 megahertz on the memory this did translate into gains not just in these synthetics but also in the games too but it does come at a cost of increased power consumption and the next synthetic we're gonna pull up for you guys it's time spy extreme here the RT X 2006 cards do pull ahead of the GTX 10 series cards especially in relation to the fire strike scores and the overclocks do give the GTX 2070 a bit more of an advantage and of course when you overclock the 20 series cards you do gain more performance but if you do overclock the GTX 10 series cards as well then you will gain performance on those cards but of course when it comes to overclocking your mileage may vary with that aside let's take a look at some gaming benchmarks and then get on with the conclusion with the RT X 27 welcome back to take your City on this test bench here today we're using a 78 20 X clock to four point five gigahertz coupled with 3200 megahertz CL 14 timings memory and the first few benchmarks I'm going to pull up for you guys is destiny - at 1080p and what we can see in this benchmark is the our TX 2070 is comfortably pulling ahead of the GTX 1080 and also the GTX 770 but still falling behind the 1080 TI 1080p is a little bit more CPU bound and I decided to test 1080p and also 1440p ultra settings because I believe this is where the 2070 sweet spot is going to lie but looking over the 1440p numbers they do see a little bit of an advantage to the turn atti in relation to the 2070 of course the 27 t is still powering along compared to those other 10 series non TI variants and then moving on to the next title Crysis 3 of course even in 2018 there's still that question that goes around can it run Crysis and in this particular game at 1080p and 1440p in particular at max settings that's very high on all the dials yes it can and it did so very well surprised to see the 2000 series cards doing a little bit better in relation to the other games when we look at the numbers we can see here it's comfortably pulling ahead of the GTX 1080 and also the gtx 1070 still falling behind the 1080 TI of course but still starting to weigh up in terms of the 27 t being the at least so far the king of the 2000 series line up at least in terms of value for money but pulling up some further numbers for you guys far cry 5 here at 1080p were actually cpu-bound a lot of the time so the results didn't vary a whole lot and then we move up to 1440p we then see the 1080 TI start to pull ahead of the 2070 and also the 2070 gaining a comfortable lead yet again over those 10 series cards next up here we've got players unknowns battlegrounds a game that is on its way out I believe an eternity P the r-tx 2017 also the 1080 and 1080 TI are near maxing out because of the CPU so the CPU is the limiting factor again at 1080p here the GTX 1070 was falling a little bit behind moving up to 1440p though we then start to see a difference between these three cards but it was surprising to see that the 2070 was a lot closer than 1080 TI than it was to the GTX 10 and I believe this has to do with some kind of optimizations that are happening for the r-tx 2006 cards in relation to pub G I'm not quite sure if I pull up some numbers from a previous review we can see that the 2080 as well was comfortably beating a 1080 TI in this particular game and I've also updated to the latest drivers so the 2000 series has had a little bit of time to mature since the last time I review the 2080 however if you like World of Warcraft and the bad news is this game does need very high single core performance and we're showing here that I have to literally max this game out with a 200 render resolution scale just to get the graphics cards to be stressed near 100% and even here we are hitting a few cpu limitations I believe going even higher may stress these cards more but again here we're getting over 40 fps with the 1080 Ti even if we drop it down to 1440p were still getting around these numbers because the game starts to be CPU bound but we can see the 2070 is still pulling ahead of the 1080 and 1070 in this particular benchmark that 1% lows are showing this as well and then moving across to scum we're testing here at high settings this actually performed pretty well in this benchmark pulling ahead of the 1080 and also the 1070 that's still falling behind the 1080 Ti I actually couldn't test 1440p for some reason because I was testing on a 1080p monitor and to get the 1440p numbers I was using the NVIDIA DSR settings which does enable a higher resolution but in this case it didn't work properly in only this particular game I didn't really understand what was going on there maybe it's a bug who knows and then a lost of the gaming benchmarks is the Final Fantasy 15 demo you've got this in two flavors you can either set it in the default mode with no DL SS enabled or also set it with DL SS enabled and what we saw here on the normal mode the r-tx 27 he was pulling out of the 1080 and also the 1070 but it's still falling behind the 1080 TI by quite a bit when we enabled ELSS mode the RTS 2070 does pull ahead but it does sort the expense in my opinion of this game looking a little bit worse than the normal benchmark that we're used to so DL SS is a feature that is promised on the RT X 2006 as well as ray-tracing but as I've said in the previous 2000 series cards reviews that I've done we're yet to see these properly implemented in any game and on top of that is their game going to be enjoyable and is it going to be mass adopted and not some show pony game like ashes of the singularity now moving on with some other numbers in particular for this card the power consumption with the RT X 2070 I'd imagine would be normally a little bit lower than this but because the gigabyte model is overclocked out of the factory it was pulling numbers that are higher than the 1080 and also the 1070 when we overclocked it we again increased power consumption by a little bit - this was power that was derived from the wall and that's where we measured it in all four cases here moving over to the thermals the noise and also the temperatures gigabytes cooling solution right here is a dual slot cooler this time around if we compare it to their 20 atti for example even their 2080 they used what's a two and a half slot cooler on those models so it is thicker and it does weigh more than the 20 70 20 70 coming in around 850 grams as opposed to the 20 80 TI and the 20 80 which come in over one kilogram but nonetheless it does use less power and it doesn't need such a big cooling solution it's got 382 mil fans which do an absolutely fine job of cooling this thing and keeping the noise low so we can see here we've got a hundred percent eighty percent sixty percent and also the auto fan speech which we're a little bit higher I must admit than the twenty eighty when I did that review but the noise was very well under control I'd say 60% on the fan speeds is the sweet spot for this card which kept the temperatures very low at a comfortable 66 degrees which for me personally I do like keeping my graphics card under 70 degrees so this cooler is definitely capable of giving you quiet noise as well as giving you low temperatures and of course decent overclocks as we talked about before but also with this kardama ticular have got an RGB logo on the side here that lights up with a gigabyte logo you can change this by a software if you wish to on the rear of the card you've also got three display ports and one HDMI and you've also got USB type-c if you wish to use that in conjunction with other devices or VR for example so there are all these ladies gentlemen for the RT X 2006 cards from gigabyte these are a gunmetal and black aesthetic it does look in my opinion a lot better than their 10 series counterparts for the same gigabyte models they are including as well a four year warranty on these cards at least in Australia very aggressive very good if you're looking for something you can put in your computer set and forget and have peace of mind knowing that it's gonna last you a long time and of course what about the r-tx 2070 when we compare at verse the GTX 1080 and also the gtx 1070 and even at 1080i in terms of value for money there's a reason why I put these 310 series cards in this graph because I believe they are the closest competitors to the 2070 and what we saw here was pretty good value for money coming out of this card it's also got those new features if they do get implemented and how and when they do get implemented I have no idea just yet because what we're kind of seeing is just demos and promises at the moment but they do have the ray-tracing cores on board they do have the support for DL SS which I'm sure when it's released it will be pretty good and you will be able to benefit from the value that the 2070 brings at least we've been waiting two years for it so it's not impressive by any means but it still is better I have filled in a 1080 at straight retail price and even a 1070 so it is coming in at a decent price point especially when we look at the 2080 which is nearly $300 more and it's not giving you a whole lot more performance at the same time you still get those new ray-tracing features and as we said before DL SS support so it's good to see that there is kind of a value orientated option for the RT X 2006 out there if you're looking to upgrade to this series then this is a decent choice and that's about it for today's video if you guys enjoyed this one then be sure to hit that like button and let us know in the comment section below what you think about the RT x 2070 love reading your thoughts and opinions as always and I'll catch another tech video very soon peace out for now bye you
