In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 are marginally better than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super 8GB.
The RTX 2060 has a 60 MHz higher core clock speed than the GeForce RTX 2070, but the GeForce RTX 2070 has 8 more Texture Mapping Units than the RTX 2060. As a result, the GeForce RTX 2070 exhibits a 3.1 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the RTX 2060. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RTX 2060 has a 60 MHz higher core clock speed than the GeForce RTX 2070 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the RTX 2060 providing 3.9 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RTX 2060 was released less than a year after the GeForce RTX 2070, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
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 2060 Super 8GB and the GeForce RTX 2070 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 2060 Super 8GB and the GeForce RTX 2070 are the same, which means the RTX 2060 and the GeForce RTX 2070 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
The GeForce RTX 2060 Super 8GB has 2176 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce RTX 2070 has 2304. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2060 is 3590 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce RTX 2070 is 3940. The GeForce RTX 2070 having 350 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GeForce RTX 2070 delivers a marginally smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the RTX 2060.
The GeForce RTX 2060 Super 8GB requires 160 Watts to run and the GeForce RTX 2070 requires 175 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RTX 2060 and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GeForce RTX 2070. The GeForce RTX 2070 requires 15 Watts more than the RTX 2060 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the GeForce RTX 2070 to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the RTX 2060.

Mini Review | Overview GeForce RTX 2060 Super 8GB is a mid to high-range GeForce 20 Series graphics card and considered a great price to performance graphics card based on the Turing architecture. This is the 'Super' variant of the RTX 2060 and utilises a cut-down version of the RTX 2070 GPU. Architecture The Turing architecture represents a process shrink down to 12nm compared to 14nm Pascal. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing technology, or RTX. The GeForce RTX 2060 Super 8GB supports real-time ray-tracing and excels at 1080p and 1440p screen resolutions. GPU It equips a Turing GPU codenamed TU106-410-A which has 2176 Shader Processing Units, 136 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1470 MHz and goes up to 1650 MHz in Boost mode. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of first-gen GDDR6 memory through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory clock operates at 1750MHz, or 14GHz effective. This provides total memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 160W, it requires at least a 450W PSU with an 8-pin power connector. System Suggestions GeForce RTX 2060 Super 8GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 2560x1440. We recommend a mid-range Processor and at least 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | Overview The GeForce RTX 2070 is a High-End Graphics Card based on the Turing Architecture.

Architecture It equips a cut-down Turing GPU Codenamed GT104 which 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 technology, or RTX. It is equipped with 288 Tensor Cores for AI purposes. GPU The central unit runs at 1410 MHz and goes up to 1710 MHz, in Turbo Mode. 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 175W, it requires at least a 500W PSU with one available 8-pin connector. Performance Predicted performance of the GeForce RTX 2070 suggests it will be as fast as the Nvidia Titan Xp, making it a suitable graphics card for 4K gaming. System Suggestions GeForce RTX 2070 is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840x2160. We recommend a high-end processor and 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. |
