In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB are marginally better than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Asus ROG Strix Gaming Advanced 8GB.
The RTX 2070 and the RTX 2070 have both the same core clock speed and the same Texture Fill Rate. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RTX 2070 and the RTX 2070 have both the same core clock speed and the same Pixel Fill Rate. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
Both the GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB and the GeForce RTX 2070 Asus ROG Strix Gaming Advanced 8GB were released at the same time, so are likely to be quite similar.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB and the GeForce RTX 2070 Asus ROG Strix Gaming Advanced 8GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The memory bandwidth of the GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB and the GeForce RTX 2070 Asus ROG Strix Gaming Advanced 8GB are the same, which means the RTX 2070 and the RTX 2070 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
Both the GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB and the GeForce RTX 2070 Asus ROG Strix Gaming Advanced 8GB have 2304 Shader Processing Units. Having the same number of SPUs and using the same architecture means that the performance they offer can be compared by looking at the memory bandwidth, Texture and Pixel Rates. In this case, although the GPUs are very similar in performance, the RTX 2070 takes the edge.
The GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB requires 225 Watts to run and the GeForce RTX 2070 Asus ROG Strix Gaming Advanced 8GB requires 175 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the RTX 2070 and a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the RTX 2070. The RTX 2070 requires 50 Watts more than the RTX 2070 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RTX 2070 may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RTX 2070.

| Mini Review | Overview The GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB is a High-End Graphics Card based on the 12nm Turing Architecture and is considered a great 1440p video card. This is a dual-slot graphics card with a dual-fan thermal design using TORX 3.0 fans for improved airflow and optimised heat dissipation. This video card uses Zero Frozr to eliminate fan noise in low-load situations, and also has RGB Mystic Light lighting, and anti-bending backplate. This video card has great overclocking potential. Architecture It equips a cut-down Turing GPU Codenamed TU106, more specifically the TU106-400A-A1 variant which means factory overclocks are permitted. This is a First Gen Turing GPU and has 16 SM activated, offering 2304 CUDA Shader Processing Units, 144 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing (RTX) technology. It is equipped with 288 Tensor Cores for AI purposes and 32 RT Cores for ray-tracing. GPU The central unit runs at 1410 MHz and goes up to 1830 MHz in Boost Mode, providing a large 13% overclock when compared to the reference model. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of Second Gen GDDR6 through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock Operates at 1750MHz, or 14GHz effective. Total memory bandwidth is 448GB/s. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 225W, it requires at least a 550W PSU with one available 8-pin and one 6-pin power connector. Performance The GeForce RTX 2070 offers performance in between the GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, albeit also boasting ray-tracing and DLSS support. System Suggestions The GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840x2160. We recommend a high-end processor and 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | Overview The GeForce RTX 2070 Asus ROG Strix Gaming Advanced 8GB is a High-End Graphics Card based on the 12nm Turing Architecture and is considered a great 1440p video card.
