MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Super Gaming X Trio

W1zzard · Jul 9, 2019

MSI's GeForce RTX 2070 Super Gaming X Trio is the quietest graphics card we ever tested in this performance class. It is whisper quie even when fully loaded with the latest games and runs quieter than many competing cards in idle.

Looks like a decimal point got omitted somewhere, haha!

I would buy it, but not sure if this power limit is a mistake or it will be on this level - to be honest it is stupid that it is lower then other cards especialy with such good cooling...

jdrof · Jul 10, 2019

I'm thrown off by "MSI has overclocked their RTX 2070 Gaming X Trio by +125 MHz rated boost, to 1895 MHz "
I cant find anything on either the MSI site or other reviews that boost is 1895, they state Boost 1800.
MSI

What am I missing?

Plus, which would you give the overall edge too - the MSI card or the EVGA RTX 2070 Super FTW3 just reviewed?
Thanks

You are right, it's 1800, I looked at the wrong number in my GPU-Z screenshot. Fixed

Updated review to reflect $515 street price

I can't speak for W1zz, but considering this card is $515 while the EVGA is $580... unless you absolutely need the extra power limit and OC offered by the EVGA, I'd say the choice is obvious.

IMO the MSI choice is obvious most of the time when it comes to GPUs, the past few years. Great quality, no funny stuff, no major screw ups. You just sorta know that its good. Asus, EVGA and Gigabyte cannot say the same - not by a long shot.

Is this a worthwhile upgrade from a 1070 (non-Ti)?

Well assuming you are still at 1920x1200, it ranges from 56% faster @ 1080p to 66% faster @ 1440p.

So yes, a pretty healthy upgrade.

Updated my specs, i'm at 1440p now

So yeah, around 66% faster give or take, not to be sniffed at.

Hrm.... now to come up with $500

Tsukiyomi91 · Jul 11, 2019

a $15 increase over the 2070 SUPER card seemed like a sweet upgrade nonetheless. The fact the fans turn off when idle or doing light workloads is a godsend for an aftermarket card. 66% increase in performance over the 1070Ti is MASSIVE upgrade since the current price for the 1070Ti is at the same price as the 2070 SUPER, not to mention the Pascal card sold are either old stock or refurbished, with the aftermarket 1070Ti selling at $550 or more.

MSI has led the pack in overclocking FPS for the most part thru 1xx and 2xx ... even txx and 9xx but to a lesser extent then we've seen recently ... but here everything us upside down.

Reference = 158.0
MSI Gaming = 160.3
EVGA FTW = 162.5
Asus Strix = 166.5

Another unusual aspect in this regard .... the order in which the finish in core clock is the same as they finish in overclocked FPS. In the recent past, a more aggressive core clock will often drop FPS due to Boost 3. Seeing Asus at the top here has been a rare ocurrence since the 6xx series.

However, no passive cooling on the Asus usng the performance oriented BIOS is a deal breaker for me:

Other data

Reference = 73C
MSI Gaming = 68C
EVGA FTW = 66C
Asus Strix = 64C

Reference = 30 / 33 dbA
MSI Gaming = 0 / 28 dbA
EVGA FTW = 0 / 33 dbA
Asus Strix = 28 / 34 dBA

Alas when it comes to Canada they get 'creative' with pricing and often limited models.

Currently as the CDN retail sites put up the cards there is:
EVGA RTX Super FTW3 Ultra Gaming @ $769.99 (589.87 US) newegg.ca
MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Super Gaming X Trio $749.00 (573.79 US) canadacomputers.com

newegg.ca doesn't have MSI cards up (yet) and CC ad doesn't say it will include the free games.

Having said all that I'm more likely get the MSI based on past reliability and cooling.

Now we need is the stores to get some stock in

Thanks.

Good job as always with the Gaming version MSI. If I were in the market for a 2070 Super then this is the one that I would choose.

THU31 · Jul 13, 2019

Perfect card for me. Inaudible and cheap (relative to the reference model).

Pumper · Jul 17, 2019

Gotta hate Europe when it comes to pricing.

NA - 2070 Super MSI Ventus - $510 vs. Gaming X Trio - $515
EU - 2070 Super MSI Ventus - 550€ ($630) vs. Gaming X Trio - 620€ ($715)

cucker tarlson · Jul 21, 2019

got one,should arrive tomorrow or tuesday.
The card is amazing but to have a sku between 2070 and 2080 and not name it rtx 2077 is a fail.

HenrySomeone · Jul 21, 2019

What's the reason you are going from a 1080Ti to a 2070super (since it's same performance class)? Got a good offer on the former and decided to sell?
Edit: Nevermind, found your post in the other thread...

performance is same,power draw is lower,temps are lower,noise is lower,resale value will be higher and 2 games are included.

yup I read w1zzards review of the 2070 super and started wondering.so I put the card on sale for what 2070s trio costs and it was gone in a day.I ordered 2070 super instantly (even found it slightly lower than I sold the 1080ti for but I gotta pay for the auction so in the end I'll break even).

HenrySomeone · Jul 21, 2019

Yeah, that's a great deal, but I'm surprised you managed to sell your 1080Ti so quickly for such a good price, since I've seen them for as low as 300$ recently. Ah well, it's all good for you either way. :cool:

Trio is a beautiful,rare card and probably best thermals and noise out of all 1080ti's.
Wasn't gonna sell it for anything less than a new 2070s trio.
