[SOLVED] I am having difficulty choosing between these two cards.

[Aditya0117]

AORUS rtx 2070 super has a core clock of 1905 MHz and the rtx 2080 super has a core clock of 1840s ..I don't remember so does that mean I would get a better performance or almost the same as rtx 2080 super for gaming

Ignore the advertised boost clocks. Actual in game boost clocks will be determined by power(vbios) and thermal headroom.

So if I provide with the said power of 650w( mentioned in the product description ) I would have a core clock of 1905mhz

You can’t compare GPU’s based on clockspeed. For a start the 2080 Super has 3072 CUDA cores vs 2560 of the 2070 Super.

Nope. That's not how it works. Both can easily boost higher than that.

You know what? What's the specs of your current setup, and what's the resolution and refresh of your current monitor?
With that, I can tell you how much impact either of those 2 cards would provide, and you can pick from there?

 

[Aditya0117]

Okay so s

Okay I understand but if I compare to all other variants of rtx 2070 super ..is it better ?

You're paying extra for the Aorus name, the factory overclock, the RGB, the cooler, and the higher power limit VS say, a 2070 Super Gaming OC.
Whether the premium is worth it depends on you.
There isn't going to be a significant difference in performance between an Aorus and a Gaming OC - were talking less than 5%.

Okay so if I go for a gigabyte rtx 2070 super oc rather than the AORUS I wouldn't find any performance difference whatsoever

Do you believe you'll miss a few fps between the 2 cards, considering the price difference between them?

No I was considering the clock speed difference between them

You're putting too much focus on clock speed.
Cuda cores > Power limit > Operating temp > Memory clock > Core clock

I don't even know why manufacturer's post boost clocks; they're misleading and pointless.
Nvidia's Gpu Boost algorithm will boost higher than those numbers anyway. You'd have to purposefully gimp the gpu's parameters to even see those advertised numbers.

Thank you man this is actually goanna help me in selecting the best for said price

You're welcome.
