Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB
10 Aug 2021 - Graphics card reviewed

This computer hardware provides top end graphics. The GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB will easily meet recommended system requirements of games released today. This is a strong benchmarker on modern games and can often return excellent frame rates at high and ultra 1080p. But the GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB can also run 1440p pc system requirements.

Capable of running games with up to a DirectX 12 requirement.

We take a look at game performance achieved on this graphics card when running 2023 popular games. This short GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB game hardware review looks at the graphics card frame rate performance on Ultra graphics settings at 1080p, 1440p and 4K screen resolutions. Of the 1000 most demanding recommended specs found in game requirements today, this gpu is more powerful than the graphics requirement of 983 games in todays list.

A GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB card at 1080p is seeing a reasonable frame rate when running Far Cry 6 on Ultra - 56 FPS. Lets look at the performance its getting on Forza Horizon 5 which is 62 FPS. To add a bit more variety lets see how the popular Back 4 Blood performs on this hardware, which gets a strong 91 FPS.

We move on to 1440p, and tested Far Cry 6 which delivered playable FPS results. Here are the graphic presets - Low: 113 FPS, Medium: 89 FPS, High: 60 FPS and Ultra: 43 FPS. Next we have Forza Horizon 5 running on GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB which gets L: 125FPS, M: 98FPS, H: 66FPS, U: 47FPS. And for performance contrast the popular Back 4 Blood gets L: 183FPS, M: 144FPS, H: 97FPS, U: 69FPS at 1440p. Looking at a few of these 1440p results for the GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB we get the impression that it is one of the better graphics cards for gaming at this screen resolution. We will see 1440p Ultra and High settings across almost all current games.

How many years will the GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB graphics card play newly released games and how long until you should consider upgrading the GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB in your PC? No graphics card upgrade required for 2 to 3 years of meeting top end game system requirements

Whats a good PC graphics upgrade for the GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB? There are no graphics cards on the current market that would provide a big enough increase in performance to warrant upgrading the GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB.

GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB Game Requirement Analysis

Overview The GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 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 three 80mm fans equipped with special fan blade design for low noise, high air volume cooling, premium trio copper pipe cooling, all-black design, and RGB lighting. 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% overclocked 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 175W, 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 Galax SG Edition 8GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840x2160. We recommend a high-end processor and 16GB of RAM for optimal performance.
