MSI Gaming X RTX 2070 Super Graphics Card Review

Peter Donnell / 5 years ago

The Nvidia RTX 2070 has already proven to be a versatile gaming card. However, now things have been pushed to the next level with the launch of the RTX 2070 Super from MSI! Admittedly, we’ve already reviewed a couple of Super graphics cards. They proved to be a nice performance bump over the stock RTX 2070, so I’m expecting to see the same from MSI today. From high-resolution gaming to ray-tracing, the RTX 2070 has a lot of appeal for gamers; so let’s find out how this one performs!

MSI Gaming X RTX 2070 Super

Aside from the boosted performance, you’ll also find their award-winning Twin Frozr 7 cooler design. It features two massive fans over a massive heatsink to shift heat quickly and efficiently to maximise GPU performance. Of course, throw in a few added features like RGB, zero RPM fan mode, and 1-click optimisation (via Dragon Center app), and you’re good to go. The only thing you have to keep in mind with this card is that’s it’s pretty massive, rather heavy, and you will need to ensure it’ll fit in your case. If you’re happy with the specifications and dimensions though, it’s party time.
