Product identity
The MSI GeForce RTX 2070 GAMING 8G is a graphics card built on the NVIDIA Turing architecture. It targets gamers and creators who need hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AI-enhanced rendering in a single-slot PCI Express 3.0 x16 form factor. The board carries 8GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit bus.
Deciding specification
The GPU delivers 2304 CUDA cores with a base clock of 1410 MHz and a boost clock of 1620 MHz. Memory runs at 14 Gbps effective, feeding the 256-bit interface for high bandwidth in 1440p and entry-level 4K workloads. This clock and core combination determines whether the card meets a given performance target.
Fit and alternatives
The card suits builders running a PCI Express 3.0 platform who want DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0b and USB Type-C outputs for up to four displays at 7680 x 4320. Users requiring PCI Express 4.0, more than 8GB VRAM, or a newer architecture should evaluate other models.

Questions about this item
How does the 1620 MHz boost clock affect frame rates in a built system?
The 1620 MHz boost clock is the peak GPU frequency under load; actual in-game clocks depend on power limit, temperature and the title's workload, so sustained speeds often sit below the peak.
What does the PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface limit in practice?
PCI Express 3.0 x16 delivers up to 16 GT/s per lane; on current platforms it rarely bottlenecks the RTX 2070, but moving to a 2.0 slot or an x8 link can shave a few percent off bandwidth-heavy scenes.
What clearance and power connectors does the card need to fit?
The dual-slot design occupies two rear brackets and requires a case with enough length for a full-size board plus one 8-pin and one 6-pin PCIe power cable from the PSU.
