Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 2070S

This graphics card features a USB-C interface designed for compatible VirtualLink VR headsets. VirtualLink provides a bandwidth of 32.4 Gbps, which is sufficient for a 4K panel at 120 Hz (that is, uncompressed 2160 x 1920 pixels per eye). Additionally, the standard combines data and power into a single cable. A connected VR headset can theoretically be powered with up to 27 watts, allowing for more chips and sensors in the device. The consortium behind this includes AMD, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oculus, and Valve, who have collaborated on the development of the interface.

The new Turing graphics chips in the RTX series contain specialized computing units that accelerate ray tracing rendering. The interaction of these ray tracing cores with the GPU enables real-time ray tracing in games for the first time. This results in better shadows and, most importantly, much more realistic reflections.

The Super models of the GeForce RTX family offer more video memory and an increased number of shader cores compared to their standard RTX predecessors. With this product refresh, NVIDIA is fully addressing the needs of demanding games with ray tracing effects. NVIDIA positions the GeForce RTX 2070 Super quite close to a standard GeForce RTX 2080. It even uses the same TU104 chip, with 2560 active shader processors and 14 Gbps GDDR6 memory.
