It seems unavoidable that this area would heat up quite a bit more than previous designs employing the same remote connector. Except this time, rather than a six-pin connector delivering ~5.2A of current, the eight-pin connector serves up ~11.1A through those three red +12V lines. Again, that’s similar to GeForce GTX 1060 Founders Edition. Getting the power connector rotated 90 degrees and extended out the back of this card’s frame required an extension of sorts. ![]() GeForce RTX 2070 Founders Edition weighs in at 970g to the 2080 Founders Edition’s 1250g. More compact dimensions and a less massive cooler also cut down on heft. ![]() It’s just as tall (11.5cm) and wide (3.9cm) as the higher-end RTX board, but 23cm long instead of 27cm. Meet GeForce RTX 2070 Founders Edition: Making Mid-Range Turing Look Goodįrom the outside, GeForce RTX 2070 Founders Edition looks a lot like Nvidia’s own 20 Ti designs, except shorter. GeForce GTX 1080 lands right between those two specifications at 180W. The Founders Edition board we have in our lab is rated for 185W. Pumped-up die size aside, reference GeForce RTX 2070 cards based on TU106 have a 175W TDP. Unfortunately, a month after Turing’s debut, we still have nothing more than tech demos, breathtaking though they may be, to show what the architecture can do. It’ll be interesting to see how practical they remain in almost-halved quantities versus RTX 2080 Ti once optimized software becomes available. Targeting greater-than GTX 1080 performance levels, RTX 2070 really does seem like an effort to drive Tensor and RT cores as deep as possible down the chip stack, while keeping those features useful. GP104 measured 314 mm² and included 7.2 billion transistors. In comparison, GP106-“mid-range Pascal”-was a 200 mm² chip with 4.4 billion transistors inside. ![]() That’s still enormous for what Nvidia might have once considered the middle of its portfolio. The only capability blatantly missing is NVLink, which isn't supported on RTX 2070.Īlthough TU106 is the least-complex Turing-based GPU at launch, its 445 mm² die contains no fewer than 10.8 billion transistors. A 4MB L2 cache and 64 ROPs carry over as well. TU106 maintains the same 256-bit memory bus as TU104, and it’s likewise populated with 8GB of 14 Gb/s GDDR6 modules capable of moving up to 448 GB/s. Less expensive models won’t be as fast, though the difference shouldn’t be substantial. The Founders Edition model benefits from a higher power limit and capable cooling, allowing the company to push its typical GPU Boost frequency to 1710 MHz (and increase this card’s price by $100). Nvidia’s base clock rate for GeForce RTX 2070 is 1410 MHz with a GPU Boost rating of 1620 MHz.
