Aorus XTREME RTX 2070 Graphics Card Review

Power Consumption, Temperatures & Acoustics


Power Consumption

It’s no surprise that it uses more power than the other two RTX 2070 cards, given it is overclocked higher, but it’s still pretty great. It’s one of the more efficient cards when it comes to gaming loads too.


Temperatures

As predicted, that massive cooler is doing a great job. All the cards hit around 70 at full load, which is normal. However, it has lower temperatures while gaming than the MSI card; likely due to a more aggressive fan curve.


Acoustics

Powerful, cool, and as it seems, pretty quiet too. The card is completely silent at low-load, and also one of the quietest cards while gaming too. The MSI RTX 2070 was quieter, but again, you have bigger fans here, and higher clocks, and more power being used too.

Overclocking

We managed a modest overclock on the card, and I’m surprised we got any at all given the huge factory overclock. However, brands like to play it safe to save on RMA’s… We don’t, haha! I got another 125 MHz Boost and 600 MHz on the memory, which gave us a good boost in 3DMark, and 7 FPS extra in gaming.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
