    Runs everything on ultra setting over 100 FPS. Upgraded from A 980 TI classified and it’s a night and day difference. Looks nice and stays very cool! Half the temperature as my old card. So far, the hottest I’ve seen it under a 4 hour gaming session was 60c. It’s normally in the 40-50, but the room temps were pretty high. Very satisfied with my purchase and I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

    This graphics card is phenomenal that's pretty much all there is to know just be glad you were able to get one at that price I still get over 100 FPS in COD and up to 100 FPS in Red Dead Redemption 2 I was able to use a 3070 and this card isn't really that far behind it so I am sticking with the 2070 for a while and its way more beautiful the RGB is exquisite I feel like this must be one of the best if not the best 2070

    Best option for new PC build

    I bought the RTX 2070 Gaming Z* because I wanted to make sure my new PC build was future proof for the next 3-4 years. I have the Ryzen 5 2600x and 16 GB RAM 3000 MHz. I recommend this card for those who are going to build a PC and have a monitor that can run 144 FPS 1080P. I was lucky enough to buy this card when it was on sale for $589.99. That was $10 cheaper than the 2070 Founders edition ($600). If you plan on buying a 4K monitor, you are better off buying a RTX 2080 Ti to get the best FPS rating at 4K. *very important, make sure you have three PCIe slots available to fit in your case.

    I purchased this graphics card for a new computer build. It works great right out of the box! I haven’t overclocked it, but on Modern Warfare I’m getting about 120-140 FPS constantly on ultra settings with Ray Tracing enabled! At peak performance and gaming for over an hour, it runs about 70*C. Paired it with a i7-9700k cpu, an MSi Z390 Pro Carbon AC motherboard and Corsair Vengeance RGB ram.

    This card replaced my MSI Armour GTX 1070ti, which has served me well for a few months. So far, I have had good luck with MSI products. So I decided to get the most of the 2070 series and bought the more expensive Gaming Z edition. The card is pretty beefy when it comes to build, size and weight. It is roughly 12"X6" in size, so I would consider that if you are installing it on a mini-case. It is also heavy; weighing in at 3.27 lbs. It is nice that a card support is included (I used my own). It features a nice radiator with dual fans and some heat pipes. It runs pretty cool (28c iddle/68c loaded), even at 225 watts consumption. The fans are pretty quiet and stop if the GPU is not used. It looks very nice as well, displaying the MSI logo and some contours in RGB, which can be controlled via MSI software. I love the fact that MSI put a beautiful aluminum brush GPU cover. But the most important thing is performance, of course. As far as an upgrade to the GTX 1070ti, it defenetly blows it out of the water by at least a 40% perfomance boost (I ran many benchmarks). I have an ultrawide monitor (2560X1080 @ 144Mhz) and I can pretty much run most games at that refresh rate. About the RTX and DLSS, it is OK. I can see how it can be very cool as far as graphics (tried it in Battlefield 5) but the frames per sec are reduced significantly and I want as much FPS as possible. Overall, although I did pay a premium for the higher clock speed and looks, I think it is definetely worth $50 more that the reference models. Highly recommended!

    Monster gaming screen/multitasking advantage

    Monster gaming screen/multitasking advantageThis beast comes with a ton of options not to mention that it does wall mount without really solid, and included metal bracket for the vase amount. Just make sure you do have one heck of a strong wall mount arm mounted on the wall and make sure you’re catching two by force studs behind your drywall to hold this beast up. You have three saved setting options so you can choose three different color speed and contrast settings and save in three different locations. You can also choose the split screen settings and choose a resolution for each side of this wall screen watch TV on one side and have your computer desktop on the other to do work. The only thing I didn’t like about it was that despite the fact that it is 49 inches in width well diagonally, It’s not as high as a typical 50 or 55 inch TV. So watching TV on it does kind of put a damper on the picture when you’re watching it and it’s full screen and full aspect ratio. However if you do you split the screen and run one side at 16 x 9 aspect ratio it will show basically around 32 to 34 inch normal size monitor picture and have a better viewing of whatever it is that you’re watching movie wise.

I think it something that you have to get used to it or you may not get used to it and if you don’t take it back and I recommend a Viotek 34 inch gaming monitor Q HD 144 frames per second. And the cheapest place to find one of those is of course Amazon and I don’t think Best Buy actually sells them. I have the 32 inch gaming monitor by Viotek and it’s awesome .

    The best RTX 2070 graphics card current available

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pros: - This MSI OC variant is twice as fast as my AMD 290, and about 18% faster than my MSI OC GTX 1080. - 4K60 in most games released between 2014-17 max settings. - 4K60 high settings or custom high/ultra settings in most 2018/19 games released so far. - 1440P60 in 99% of titles released at high/ultra settings. - Best high end GPU in Nvidia's RTX lineup with usable ray tracing performance at 1440P and lower. - Quiet, the fans rarely spin up and when they do it's a whisper while keeps the GPU around 72C. Cons: - Price, I paid less than $400 for this card after applying rewards points from Christmas purchases but would not have paid the current asking price ($630) for this card. - Ray tracing is still limited, and DLSS or whatever it's called might be a gimmick. - Size, this card is large and takes up 3 PCI slots. If you have a lot of expansion cards you're going to sacrifice one of them. I had to say goodbye to my USB-C dual port expansion card. Summary: Great card but only marginally faster than the still great GTX 1080 but with ray tracing capabilities. I also think this card is slightly overpriced by $75 or so, base price should be no more than $550 but with the lack of true competition, Nvidia can continue their current pricing structure.

    I bought this to replace my aging GeForce GTX 970. The difference in the speed is significant. The old 970 while having 4GB memory was showing it's age in games, some slow downs on graphic intensive games and so on, also ran a little on the warm side. This RTX 2070 taess through the games I play and stays cool doing it. you can also use their Afterburner app to overclock the card or manually adjust the fan speeds for extra cooling. At 50% fan speed this card can sit around 45c playing Star Wars The Old Republic and WoW. The RGB is nice and easy to control with Mystic lighting (MSI app). The GPU support bar is a nice addition as these cards have a somewhat heavy cooler on them which can cause the card to sag. The support can be a little tricky to install though. The fans are whisper quiet, and barely audible when they do spin up, even at 80% you can barely hear them. It's an RTX card so you may not make use of the extra features like Ray tracing which can affect performance in games. This is my first MSi part and I'm impressed. Easy to install the card, but it does take up 3 slots in the back with the added support bracket. If you need a new video card this is a great choice, it should play older games at max to Ultra settings and newer games at Max at 1440p.

    Performance? Delivers. Price? Reasonable. Good cooling and reasonable power use. Delivers good processing power with loads of on-board memory. If you can't grab a 2080 or 2080Ti, getting a 2070 is a perfectly reasonable upgrade for your computer. Just be aware the card is LARGE, so make sure your tower has room for it. The tower I had used an Nvidia manufactured 1070 so it fit just fine.

    MSI Never Disappoints!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Before I decided to purchase this card I was looking to purchase an RTX 2080 Founders Edition, but none were available. Little did I know that this card would be able to keep up with the 2080 and in some cases even out-perform. For starters, this card is POWER HUNGRY, but even then I have never seen the card go anywhere in the 80's even when overclocked. This card also is very quiet and I have never heard the fans get too loud. As far as the lighting controls go there are plenty of lighting effects and the lighting is vibrant and bright. The ONLY issue I could find with this card was the size as even though it is a 2 slot card it is very tall and may not fit in certain cases. I had placed this in a NZXT H200 and the card was so heavy that it pressed down onto the PSU shroud, completely blocking one of the fans. If you do end up going with this card I recommend taking measurements of your case. One good thing though is that MSI includes a GPU support bracket to prevent sag and damage to your motherboards PCIE slot.

    One Year Later: Stunning Card

    I purchased this card a year ago almost to the day; I'm still playing every game I own at high or ultra settings, and flipping RTX on when it's available. Most recently I purchased Control and am simply floored at the beauty of the game, thanks to RTX. RTX does reduce the fps count by a significant amount, but the software side of the technology is constantly improving in that regard. When I'm not gaming the fans run silent and the card stays cool; even when a game is going, the card has no issues with heat or noise. It looks incredible in the case as well. I'm definitely satisfied with this purchase as a long-term investment and don't see any need to upgrade the video card anytime in the next few years.

    First off, this card is BIG! Much bigger than my 2080FE. I was testing this against a 2080 FE that I have to decide which way to go with another build I am doing for a friend to see if the extra $180 is worth it. Both were only tested once only using Afterburner OC Curve, memory on the 2070 +650 and 2080 was +750mhz, CPU was an 8086k OC to 5.1ghz, ASUS Maximus XI Hero, the scores were pretty good on both sides. TimeSpy Comparison Card - 2070/2080 3D Mark - 9777/10838 (11%) Graphics - 10017/11336 (13%) Graphics Test - 64.77fps/73.24fps (13%) Graphics Test 2 - 58fps/65fps (13%) Core clock - 2010mhz/1980mhz Mem Bus clock - 1,925mhz/1938mhz Firestrike results were closer to about an 18% increase between the 2080 and 2070 but I had different ram and CPU OC settings between the 2 tests so that would have skewed them a little bit and I didn't want to go back and run it again, I was already convinced. So you would be spending $14 per % increase (~13%) to go up to the 2080. Which if you are doing 1080p or 1440p gaming I would just go with the 2070 and put those savings into a better MB or ram. Both cards achieve over 240fps in overwatch at Ultra/100% which is the cap for my 240htz monitor anyway. If I uncap FPS it is about 250-260fps on the 2070 and 260-280fps on the 2080 depending on if I am streaming on my other monitor or not. Battlefield V also played silky smooth with RayTracing on max settings. My vote, save the money and go with this 2070... it won't let you down for quite a while... but it is HUGE!

    Handles everything I throw at it in a triple spanned monitor setup at 5760x1200. I picked it up on a good sale < $470 Recommend using the brace for most cases as the card is super heavy and may sag a bit. It still looks sharp and the RGB is gorgeous. Runs cool and fairly quiet.

    I upgraded from an r9 290 and it blows it out of the water. This card at stock speeds beats out a 1080 by 15%ish and is around the same cost at this time. It can be overclocked and come very close if not match a 1080ti when overclocked and is 60% am the cost of one.

    The 1440p card to get

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I upgraded a desktop that was previously using a RX480 to this card after purchasing a 1440p 144hz monitor. and finding out that the old card just couldn't handle the extra load after stepping up from 1080p. The 480 was no slouch by any means at 1080p, but this is a big step up. This is a great 1440p card that can handle high settings in just about every current game, even paired with an older overclocked 2500K and 8GB of RAM. Yes, it's pricey. Yes, RTX is still a good way off from being readily available. Still think it was worth the upgrade though. Bonus points for RGB if you're into that thing. Oh, and yes it can run Crysis. Barely though.. One thing to note, this card is a monster. Seriously, it's three-slot huge. It comes with a brace to hold it in place and prevent sag over time, and I can totally see how it's necessary. And it's super quiet, even under load.
