How Much Does It Cost?
Frustratingly, we couldn’t find much stock of the Zotac RTX 2070 SUPER Maybe it’s sold out, we do know there’s a little shortage on right now. However, the one price I did find was in the UK and was £529.98. I think that is a bit “boosted” if I’m honest, as you can get an RTX 2080 for £520, and a good one at that. This card needs to be coming in at no more than £510, and I suspect it’ll be less than that once stock lands in the right places; keep your eyes peeled!
Overview
The Zotac RTX 2070 SUPER is a bit of a monster, and more than worthy of being excited about. It’s clear that SUPER is here to replace the stock RTX range. Of course, with performance that’s chewing at the ankles of the RTX 2080, you’ll not be left feeling short of FPS from the AMP Extreme. At least until they release the RTX 2080 SUPER perhaps. Either way, this is RTX 2080 performance for RTX 2080 money right now, but when prices settle, the Zotac RTX 2070 SUPER is going to fly off the shelves.
Gaming
This card is walking away with a handful of medals today. It was pretty much in the top five results for every benchmark. In some it scored first place, even beating out the RTX 2080 Ti. However, for the bulk, it was on par with the RTX 2080 cards, and that’s pretty damn fast. For high frame rate gaming, even at 1440p, it’ll tear through any game today. Then again, for 4K gamers, figures are pretty strong too. Albeit, for 4K60, if you want 4K60-100 for flagship G-Sync monitors, the 2080 Ti is still king of the camp.
Added Value
This card is a little bland I think. However, that’s fine with me in so many ways. I don’t want to pay for a boat-load of RGB tech and a crazy shroud. I want a chipset that’s been whipped into shape and working hard to get the best out of my games. Zotac has gone for less “show” and all of the “go” here. Sure, there’s an RGB badge on the side, but otherwise, it’s just a competent design aimed at cooling and reliability. Throw on the backplate, a good software suite for managing the card, and you’re good to go.
Should I Buy One?
If you can find stock, and even more so find a price on the right side of £500, I wouldn’t even hesitate. It’s a damn fast card right out of the box. Sure, some of you like to OC your own hardware. However, if you don’t mind paying a small premium, you can get this factory overclocked model that’s already tuned to deliver its maximum performance.
