EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 Super KO

Still, I praise this website for posting the actual product against a ruler, it's a savior, that zero vendors provide.

There you go again. Product against a ruler is somehow more insightful than actual dimensions in your head

Guys... this isn't rocket science. The measurement includes how long, wide, and tall it is. If the shroud sticks over the edge of the PCB, you're damn right they are measuring the longest/widest/tallest part. This is how it works and always has.

@ Neo - what are specifications missing that an image has again? Your first post mentions "clear actual GPU dimensions" and they aren't found. I just went to ASRock, MSI, Asus, Evga, and Giga and there are 'clear actual GPU dimensions' at all of those sites. the second 'detailed' post doesn't go into more relevant detail...I don't care if it is mATX or ITX, the card's dimensions are the card's dimensions (same with the chassis). About the only reason I want to see the card is to know where and what orientation the power leads are as those stick out further than the card.

It benefits these companies to be as accurate as they can (and they are!) to prevent this exact issue. I've never run into a website reporting the wrong dimensions. Again, I'm sure an error has happened before, but if this such a big problem as it seems you and chrispy seem to purport, I feel we would see threads everywhere......but (again) we don't.

Should case reviews shove a ruler inside to confirm max GPU/PSU/CPU Cooler length/height? Come on now......

So, last time, cool beans that TPU added an image, but I see little value over looking up the specs. There shouldn't be a question on how these are measured.

Yet another member in your thread that does NOT read through.
You briefly glanced, saw iTX, mATX and decided that that's what I care about, no, you are lazy or impatient much like Bug -> to READ through!.
I'm done. If you guys have internal politics and conflicts inside your website team to trash your own website, I'm not taking part of it.
I'm about to unsub this website altogether with your hate and ignorant comments.

You seem to have accusing others covered pretty well. But you still haven't told us what you got from that picture that wasn't readily available on the manufacturer's web site.

I've read it through...let's do this 1 by one to make sure I didn't miss anything.

I have no idea why you keep defending the numerous vendors that fail to either measure properly GPU size but above that

Because we haven't seen vendors make egregious mistakes on their specifications as you are implying. May I ask why do you feel numerous vendors fail to measure properly? Have you seen this before?

You keep denying there is a need for more information, instead of supporting this website that should be praised for providing the extra details that ALL companies worldwide fail to provide, and when you see that image of the device you need against a ruler, you can clearly understand all its components and how they interfere or be restricted or not, in your case, if you have limited space, such as mATX cases or iTX cases.

You keep insisting there is a need for more information........but seem to be dismissive of the information already provided as not only not being enough, but failing to be accurate as well. All we are saying is we don't see that.

We are supportive of this website and the extra image that is taken here. Perhaps some just don't find it quite as useful as others. Perhaps some understanding of both sides of the discussion was warranted here.

Like said, I have no idea why you keep defending the companies that fail to provide the REAL measurements as clear as possible.
If you have a case that is limited to 27cm GPU length and you really wish to get the best of the best of Nvidia and purchse an eVGA GPU, you have zero idea if that GPU will fit EXACTLY in your case, OR will the heatsink fins or fan shroud edges will prevent you from installing it in your case, by even 5mm. When you own an ATX case, surely it does not matter but you don't seem to care about this topic.

I have no idea why you keep insisting these companies fail to provide "real" measurements as clear as possible. The specifications are clear. They are the maximum dimensions in a card from their widest/longest/tallest points. This includes shrouds hanging over PCBs.

I hope you can understand where I was coming from in my post(s) here. Again, I just don't find it as useful as you considering the specifications that all companies worldwide provide that have served me well and the dozens of personal builds I've done over the decades relying on such values. Some people learn/absorb data better in a visual manner... there is that too! THis is a cool thing TPU did, without a doubt. We aren't trying to take that away so much as saying the information provided is way way way more often than not perfectly good, clear, and accurate. I didn't have chipsy's experience when doing system builds for a living/helping friends, etc. I believe errors are made, but just not rampant.

Enjoy your images.

You are now free to move about the cabin...... apologies for the threadjack.

My conclusion after this very detailed review is that 2070 Super should be at least 2x more powerful in 4K gaming than my current GTX 970. Maybe even close to 2.5x more powerful, all this while drawing less than 50% more power. Which is why I ordered one from Amazon DE.

I think 2070 Super cards are the best buy now that their price have decreased to clear the stock and that the 3000 series are not suitable for older systems. If I'd bought a 3000 series that would mean basically a complete new PC: CPU, motherboard, memory, power supply and almost certainly new case and new CPU cooler.

My overclocked 4690K might not bring the best of the 2070 Super, so against a 3000 series would I think it would be quite inadequate. Got SSDs, 32Gb of ram, 650W PSU and I'm not making money on twitch gaming. So even though this 2070 Super might be too much, it is not an excessive and useless splurge or money pit that a new 3000 series would be.
