Hi
I been rebuilding my PC after my Zeon System crashed into a heap. However, I still have my old Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti GPU.
I was originally going to replace it with RTX 2070 because of its very efficient, will help my Boinc apps a treat. Plus, I can use as games pc down the line, and It's also the maximum end of my budget. LOL
But now GeForce have released the RTX 2070 SUPER. I'm wondering whether It's worth while buying a 1070 Super instead.
I don't see any threads on the this forum about the 1070 SUPER GPU.
Does anyone have an experience using the RTX 2070 SUPER for Boinc. I don't know if my Average credits will go up or down compared the normal 2070. (like the Ti or the RTX 2080)

Your views and advice would be very appreciated :-)

Cheers

Steven

Couple things.

Nvidia makes the RTX cards, Geforce is Nvidia’s own branding

You can’t find information about a 1070 Super because they don’t exist. Nvidia didn’t bring the “Super” naming convention until the Turing cards, it’s brand new.

A 2070 Super will be a little faster than a 2070. Pretty much right between a 2070 and a 2080.

And the only difference between a Super and a non-Super is that the Super has faster memory on it (which helps). ;-)

No . . . . . . The Super has more CUDA cores because it is based on the TU104 instead of the TU106 chip in the regular RTX 2070. The memory speeds are the same at 14000Mhz.

You are thinking of the difference between the RTX 2080 Super and the regular RTX 2080. The RTX 2080 Super gets faster 15500Mhz memory.

Thanks for your quick reply.
when I visit nvidia's website they now have the GIGABYTE GEFORCE RTX 2070 SUPER WINDFORCE OC 3X 8G for sale for £469.97. here in UK
I was also hoping it would just be tad faster. :-)

cheers

Nice one.. That's what I thought. Just incase I missed something obvious. LOL

cheers again for your quick reply

No, Wiggo's reply is incorrect. The memory clocks on the 2070 Super and the regular 2070 are exactly the same, 14000Mhz.

The difference is that the 2070 Super has 2560 CUDA cores versus the regular 2070 only having 2304 CUDA cores.

I was surprised by that statement too, but I did a comparison check on the specifications at my local trade counter, too. They agreed with Keith's figures here on both speed and core count.

A very misleading piece of marketing by NVidia, IMO - establishing a pattern, and then breaking it again.

Yes Nvidia certainly isn't consistent with what the Super version gives you on different cards. The 2080 Super got the faster memory and just a token small increase in CUDA cores over the regular 2080. The RTX 2070 Super got a much bigger percentage increase in CUDA cores compared to the 2080 Super. So Super means different things in the Nvidia product stack.

Well, they are still Super- but there's super, then Super, then there is SUPER. But they don't make it obvious which version of super you're getting.
I'm happy with my RTX 2060 Super. Almost (but not quite) double the performance of my GTX 1070s.
