Based on the Turing architecture, the EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 XC GAMING Graphics Card brings the power of real-time ray tracing and AI to your PC games. It also features enhanced technologies to improve the performance of VR applications, including Variable Rate Shading, Multi-View Rendering, and VRWorks Audio.
The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs. There are three DisplayPort 1.4 outputs, one HDMI 2.0b output, and one USB Type-C port with the VirtualLink standard. The RTX 2070 is not just about high-resolution gaming. Computationally intensive programs can utilize the GPU's 2304 cores to accelerate tasks using CUDA or other APIs.
EVGA implemented iCX2 technology, which improves on the previous generation. It features a patented 9-sensor design controlled by micro control processors to determine fan speed for the GPU and VRAM/PWM areas. The plate-punched design improves the iCX2 baseplate's contact with all components and the heatsink. The material itself also improves the thermal conductivity by over 150%, compared to the original iCX baseplate. The iCX2 heatpipe uses L-shaped fins to direct airflow around the card. The heatspreader improves contact with the GPU to transfer more heat away from the GPU and the baseplate. A larger and more efficient heatpipe layout transfers more heat directly to the cooling fans. The upraised "E" on each fan creates a smoother slipstream for each fan. The iCX2 fans also go in a different direction. Forward-swept blades and a clockwise rotation helps propel these fans to improved cooling compared to the original iCX fans.
