Test system
First of all, the test system that served as the basis for the tests:
Windows 10 (current), GeForce driver 537.58 and Radeon software 23.30.01.02. Ray tracing and upscaling were generally omitted, but if they are used (e.g. in Starfield), they are explicitly mentioned in the settings. Of course, I couldn’t resist a comparison with the originally intended RX 6600, and I honestly wouldn’t have expected how Super-Susi partially wipes the floor with it.
Benchmarks
For this comparison test, I’ve chosen a compilation of current and older titles, with the odd indie title also making it into the selection (for reasons). I list the tested games including results and short descriptions in alphabetical order.
Assetto Corsa Competizione
ACC is directly a game where the 2070 Super easily outruns the RX 6600. Both in free practice alone on the track in the best weather, and with 30 cars in the monsoon, the old Super-Susi dashes ahead of the RDNA2 card and leaves it behind by about 50%.
What’s brutal is that the GeForce’s 1% lows are already higher than the Radeon’s average frame rate.
BeamNG.drive
Next, a niche game that has always run better on Nvidia cards. You don’t often see this “crash simulator” in tests and especially the performance of such budget GPUs could therefore be interesting for one or the other user.
Counter-Strike 2
The hotly debated Counter-Strike 2 should also not be missing from any current comparison test. While the “predecessor” of the e-sports title still ran on every toaster, CS2 gives the graphics card a bit more to do. However, both graphics cards still achieve consistently high frame rates in FullHD with high graphics settings, whereby there are considerably fewer frame drops with the GeForce.
Diablo 2 Resurrected
One of the main tasks of the 2070 Super tested here will soon be the rendering of Diablo 2 Resurrected, which is why it can’t be missing in this test, of course. With 50% more performance (AVG and 1% Lows), the GeForce also emerges as the clear winner from this test.
Grand Theft Auto 5
The evergreen. I couldn’t help myself. I had first tested the GeForce and after starting the game with the Radeon briefly thought that the graphics settings were wrong, because actually the RDNA2 cards run pretty well in the game. Possibly it’s a bandwidth issue, but still using MSAA completely kills the Radeon’s performance.
Hogwarts Legacy
Hogwarts is the first game where the Radeon can beat the Geforce – albeit marginally and with lower 1% lows. Basically, both GPUs were pretty much lost with ultra settings and without the use of upscaling as soon as it went outdoors. However, with reduced settings and possible use of upscaling, the game can be enjoyed smoothly on both cards.
Farming Simulator 22
The 2070 Super will probably render this game even more often than Diablo 2 Resurrected in its new home. Both cards deliver identical performance, although the Radeon is much more frugal. I don’t think that this is critical, because the game will run at 60 FPS in the end anyway, and the cards don’t take anything away from that. However, it is a fact that this game is equipped with DLAA rate smoothing and can thus be displayed considerably flicker-free and still sharper on the GeForce.
Sons of the Forest
In Sons of the Forest, the cards again deliver similar performance, whereby the GeForce could also use a small advantage in terms of image quality here thanks to DLSS.
Starfield
I’ve included this game in the test series because I really like playing it, despite the bulky and partly incomprehensible menu navigation. On my main PC with 5800X3D and 6900XT, performance and visuals are “okay” (certainly not good, but not a total failure either), but with the graphics cards in question, you have to make some sacrifices. In the tested settings, the game (especially the textures) really doesn’t look very edifying and still runs like crap in outdoor areas. I really wanted to point this out, because about 50% of the scenes tested here take place indoors and the AVG frames are therefore much higher than they actually are in reality. The Radeon delivers an average of 20% more FPS, which I would attribute to a broken Nvidia driver or a bad utilization of the Turing card on the part of the game engine, because the 2070 Super is far from its power limit in Starfield despite “99% utilization” and probably can’t bring the performance to the street for that reason.
The Witcher 3
The Witcher once again brings up the rear. Thanks to the big next-gen update, it is still a far better game than Cyberpunk in my opinion. The GeForce once again gives the small Radeon a good run for its money, and even on ultra settings with TAAU it consistently offers a smooth gaming experience, while the Radeon has to struggle with barely 50 FPS.
Power consumption
What definitely has to be credited to the Radeon is its efficiency. While the test system with the GeForce drew almost 300W from the socket in extreme cases (Witcher 3), the same system with the Radeon never exceeded 200W. Thus, the GeForce is clearly the more inefficient card, even if it delivers over 20% more (AVG FPS) or even almost 50% more (1% lows) performance at the end of the day. Of course, this is also noticeable in the temperatures and the noise level – at least when you run both cards at the limit.
