Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti
The current king of the hill of the gaming stack, the RTX 2080 Ti. While the TITAN RTX is faster, it’s not really focused as a consumer gaming card, so this is the top dog so to speak.

MSI RTX 2070 SUPER Gaming X Trio
The RTX SUPER series was designed to fight off the Radeon RX 5700 series of GPUs. The card we have here is the RTX 2070 SUPER model which utilizes an upgrade to the TU104 GPU vs the TU106 which adorned the original RTX 2070 model GPU. This not only gave the 2070 SUPER more available processing cores but also the ability to NVLink as the TU106 GPU is sans the NVLink interface. The MSI GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Gaming X TRIO card has a massive triple fan cooler to allow the TU104 and related components to stay nice and chilly and achieve boost clocks for longer with more thermal headroom.

MSI RTX 2060 Gaming Z
The RTX 2060 is the entry-level into RTX features. Rather than sticking to the stock Founders Edition card, we chose to bring out the MSI RTX 2060 Gaming Z to ensure once again that we have a better cooler so hopefully, more stable performance during the test passes. This is also indicative of what most users would be running as most users opt for an AIB for their proficiency in custom designs and cooling solutions.

Ideally, these three cards should give a defined cross-section of levels of performance through key points in Nvidia’s product stack. Now let’s check out our test rig for testing out the newest COD entry and see how everything performs.
