Customers highly value the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8GB graphics card's performance, especially its high frame rates in games and efficient cooling. Positive feedback also highlights the build quality, ease of installation, and generally good price-to-performance ratio. While some users noted noise and coil whine under heavy load, the majority found these issues manageable or non-existent.
This is great video card and a lateral move, slightly better than the GTX 1080 Ti in rasturizing graphics (non RTX games). It's fairly quiet, runs cool for what it's pushing. When running RTX games you definitely will want to have DLSS turned on. I tried RTX Minecraft with DLSS off and temps were in the 70s pretty quickly. With DLSS off the temps were far below 70. I picked up Metro Exodus on the Epic Game Store while it was $20 and WOW. I played at 1440p, on a 65" HDR Samsung S8000 (2016) and with DLSS I was achieving over 60 FPS and it looks amazing when HDR and RTX are enabled. Hopefully Nvidia decides to drop the price for new comers to RTX graphics. IF the Nvidia RTX 3000 series had a stable launch, it would be hard to recommend this card. But this GPU might need to be mainstream for a bit longer until RTX 3000 series stabalizes.

The RTX 2070 Super is, IMHO, the best cost vs. performance high-end graphics card in the current (as of 5/2020) RTX lineup. Since this is the Founder's Edition (FE) card, it has Nvidia's cherry-picked silicon which is more over-clockable compared to 3rd party RTX cards. In addition, if you look at the benchmarks of RTX 2060-2080TI cards, the 2070 Super is closer to the 2080 Super for ~$200 less. Since the 2070 Super contains the same higher-quality Samsung VRAM, you'll easily get +500Mhz overclock on the graphics memory without breaking a sweat. I've overclocked my VRAM using MSI Afterburner to +650Mhz over stock with no stability issues whatsoever. I find that the FE cards have the quietest fan coolers as well, as they use vapor chambers to cool the GPU/VRAM. Overall, an excellent choice for the serious enthusiast who wants to save over half the price of the cost of this card itself when compared to a 2080 Super, which only outperforms it by about 5-8% in most games. Lastly, I love Best Buy for stocking these reliably. Beware of getting these FE edition cards elsewhere, as they will price gouge for the FE edition or, even worse, not offer true , new, FE edition cards. Best Buy is extremely reliable in thsi respect, and there's no monkey business with what you're getting for your money. Highly recommended, at least until Nvidia Ampere comes out later this year (2020)! I'll be buying my Ampere-based RTX card from Best Buy for the very same reasons as well.

This is a really great card for the money. On par or a little faster or slower depending on the game than a RTX 2080. Looks really nice. Fans are very efficient and quiet under load. I was wondering where the SLI bridge was but I noticed its being covered by a very nice metal piece. One piece of concern I have is the graphics card being very heavy.
