I’ll give 4 stars regarding value for money, however, if you genuinely care and want rtx then it would probably be a 5 star. Even if you don’t care for rtx, the rtx 20 series is still considerably faster than the previous gtx 10 series still making it worth the buy. The 2070 super almost performs the same as the $200-$300 more expensive gtx 1080ti meaning you'd have to go to the rtx 2080 series if you wanted to have something faster than the 1080ti.
5 stars for gaming because it runs every game I throw at it at 1080p fully maxed out graphics no lower than 75fps. This card is perfect for high fps 1080p with maxed graphics or 1440p 60+fps on fully maxed graphics for most games. Games like borderlands 3 though suffer due to extreme optimization issues. Back to 1080p, Forza horizon 4 never dips below 75 fully maxed out, black ops 3 almost always runs at the full 144fps for my 144hz panel meaning it has more potential for something extra like a 165hz panel if BO3 is your thing, rainbow 6 siege rarely dips below 120fps as far as I tested, destiny 2 stays above 100fps in matchmaking until you do PvE in the open world to where it drops as low as the 70's (probably another optimization issue regarding the MMO server), and the temperatures never hit 70°C at least with the previous fan curve I set for my previous MSI RX580. Except this card makes half the noise leading to the next review.
5 stars on noise level because for how much cooler this runs compared to my msi RX580, it is surprisingly much quieter. With the same fan curve on both cards, the 2070 I received runs 7°C to 10°C cooler than the rx580 it's replacing. Considering the fan curves are based off percentages, the fans on the 2070 seem to spin slower yet keep the die cooler leading to another point that this card cools exceptionally well. The heat syncs are massive, the whole card will blow your mind with it's large size if you've never seen one in person so I'd make sure that it will fit in your system first.
As far as little things, the rgb is a nice touch and much better than what the gigabyte model of the card has but this card is more expensive. The fan and cover design just makes the card look aesthetically pleasing and in a way, aggressive in general, the metal brushed aluminum backplate engraved with the msi logo looks really nice as well and gives the card a much higher quality feel and look. It comes with a support bracket which unfortunately for me, wont fit in my case due to an obstruction where the gpu mounting screws go but the card doesn’t really sag for me so it’s fine, others might have better luck with the bracket.
In conclusion, this card is very solid in virtually every aspect and for the money, I say it was worth the buy so long as it keeps working like it is.
