GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER WINDFORCE 8G vs RTX 2070 SUPER WINDFORCE OC 3X 8G (rev. 1.0/1.1)

Since two cards have the same number of Raster Operations Pipelines (ROPs), and the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER WINDFORCE OC 3X 8G (rev. 1.0/1.1) card operates at a bit higher frequency, it also has higher pixel fillrate. Better maximum pixel fill rate allows more pixels to be drawn on screen per second, which results in increased graphics card performance, unless there are bottlenecks somewhere else.

Another important factor, that influences overall GPU performance, is texture fillrate. This parameter is defined as the number of TMUs, multiplied by graphics clock speed. The GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER WINDFORCE OC 3X 8G (rev. 1.0/1.1) has an upper hand here, because it runs at insignificantly higher frequency, and both graphics cards have identical number of Texture Mapping Units. Better maximum texture fill rate allows the graphics card to utilize more sophisticated 3D effects and/or map more textures to each textured picture element, which improves visual appearance of games and generated images.

Maximum Single Precision performance indicates how fast the graphics card is at running applications, that use single-precision floating point numbers. The performance is measured in billions of Floating Point Operations Per Second, or GFLOPS. As a rule, the more stream processors or CUDA cores the GPU has, and the the faster they run at, the higher Single Precision performance will be. The GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER WINDFORCE OC 3X 8G (rev. 1.0/1.1) graphics unit has an edge here. Higher single-precision performance number means the card will perform better in general computing applications. Since stream processors or CUDA cores are also used as vertex and geometry shaders for 3D image generation, higher performance is also beneficial to games.

Maximum Double Precision performance is similar to the Single Precision performance, except that it applies to double-precision (64-bit) floating point operations. Since games do not use double-precision arithmetics, this characteristic is unimportant to games performance. The GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER WINDFORCE OC 3X 8G (rev. 1.0/1.1) is faster at processing 64-bit floating-point numbers.

Memory bandwidth of both graphics cards is identical.
