NVIDIA Turing Architecture
This revolutionary architecture, combined with our all-new GeForce® RTX platform, fuses together real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and programmable shading. You’ve never created and enjoyed games like this before.
Real-Time Ray Tracing In Games
Ray tracing is the definitive solution for lifelike lighting, reflections, and shadows, offering a level of realism far beyond what’s possible using traditional rendering techniques. NVIDIA Turing is the first GPU capable of real-time ray tracing.
PERFORMANCE
GeForce RTX gaming GPUs come loaded with next-generation GDDR6 memory, support for DirectX 12 features, and more. This is graphics reinvented.
DUKE SERIES
GeForce RTX 2070 DUKE 8G OC
The new MSI DUKE Series feature a blend of silver and black elements, in sharply defined shapes and angles. The aesthetics perfectly match with today’s popular build themes.
BACKPLATE
The premium sturdy backplate helps to strengthen the graphics card and complement the design to look better.
TORX FAN 2.0
Using three of the award-winning TORX Fans 2.0 with double ball bearings, MSI DUKE graphics cards provide years of top-notch cooling performance.
Dispersion Fan Blade
has a steeper curved blade which accelerates the airflow, increasing its effectiveness.
Traditional Fan Blade
pushes down a steady airflow to the massive
heatsink below.
DOUBLE BALL BEARINGS
Double Ball Bearings give the unique MSI TORX Fans 2.0 a strong and lasting core for years of smooth gaming. They also remain virtually silent while spinning under load, keeping your graphics card cool during intense and lengthy gaming sessions.
MASTERY OF AERODYNAMICS
Using groundbreaking aerodynamic techniques, the heatsink is optimized for efficient heat dissipation. Keeping your temperatures low and performance high.
ZERO FROZR: STAY UNDETECTED
First introduced in 2008 by MSI, ZERO FROZR technology stops the fans completely when temperatures are relatively low, eliminating all fan noise when no cooling is needed. When the heat is on during gaming, the fans will automatically start spinning again to keep your powerhouse cool.
Pros: Obviously I love the performance. I just got a 1440p G-Sync monitor, and I wanted to have the power to take my experience to the next level. (I upgraded from a Gtx 980) The 2070 does the job splendidly. This particular card boasts relatively quiet gaming performance, and so far, I believe that to be true. (I've had it for less than a week though)
Cons: Price is still a bit high, but it is comparable to the gtx 1080, with better performance. The support bracket is ugly. I didn't want to install it, but this card is quite large, and my other card which only had two fans was surprisingly warped when I took it out. Oh, did I mention the card is LARGE!? I was not concerned about the size of the card at all, but I was surprised with how little room there actually was in my CM Storm Stryker case, which is quite large itself. MAKE SURE IT CAN FIT BEFORE YOU BUY IT! It is large to allow for better airflow, though, so this isn't really a con.
Overall Review: The only other issue is the RGB lighting of the card. I honestly have no idea how to get it to work. I have researched it, and looked at the drivers for the card, but I am unable to find an answer. I think it has to do with x99 compatibility, but I cannot be sure. I did not buy the card for RGB, so I don't really care, but it would at least bring peace of mind. It has been less than a week since I have owned this, and I know there are some reported issues for the rtx cards. Take this review to mean exactly what it says, and I will update it if there are any issues in the future. The only reason it gets a 4-egg rating is because of the RGB issue, other than that the product is great. It works well, and is visually pleasing to the eye, except for the support bracket.
