Updated: MSI RTX 2070 cards surface, Armor and triple-fan models

Updated: MSI RTX 2070 cards surface, Armor and triple-fan models

MSI now has officially announced its line of GeForce RTX 2070 cards. There will be three Gaming models with Armor, Aero and Duke versions.

While the Gaming X model was shown earlier already there should also be a Gaming Z model available on the market. Presumably, the X and Z will have higher clock speeds than the basic model but use the same Twin Frozr 7 cooler. You will also notice an Armor, Armor OC models as well as a Duke version. The most expensive model will be the Aero model, that has been fitted with a massive three slot cooler. Have a peek.

[Taipei, Taiwan] As the world's most popular GAMING graphics card vendor, MSI is proud to introduce its full line up of graphics cards based on NVIDIA’s new Turing GPU with supreme performance. Equipped with revolutionary thermal design, MSI GeForce® RTX 2070 series are optimized for higher core and memory clock speeds for increased performance in games. MSI’s GAMING Z and DUKE series deliver the best-in-class thermal performance that gamers have come to expect from MSI. A solid and sharp appearance, ARMOR provides a sturdy dual fan design with excellent performance. The blower type thermal design of AERO isolates the airflow used in cooling the graphics card and ejects it out of the system through the back.

GEFORCE RTX 2070 GAMING Z

MSI brings GAMING to RTX 2070 with the 7th generation of the iconic TWIN FROZR series. The improved TWIN FROZR 7 design on the GeForce® RTX 2070 GAMING Z utilizes two 10cm TORX 3.0 fans which combines the advantages of both traditional and dispersion fan blade to generate huge amounts of airflow. The new trims on the traditional fan blades create concentrated airflow for higher air pressure while also reducing noise. The heatsink features advanced aero- and thermodynamic technologies for efficient heat dissipation to keep the temperature low and performance high. The new gunmetal grey & black look emphasizes the glorious glow of Mystic Light RGB infused into the card. Using the updated & improved MSI Mystic Light software, controlling and syncing your LED-lit components is easier than ever.

GEFORCE RTX 2070 DUKE 8G OC

With a large triple-fan cooling solution, DUKE is perfect for gamers that prioritize a massive airflow to keep their beastly card cool. It features three of the award-winning TORX Fan 2.0 with double ball bearings, providing years of top-notch cooling performance. Featuring some of the same aero- and thermodynamic advancements as the GAMING cards, DUKE provides excellent cooling to ensure peak performance.

GEFORCE RTX 2070 ARMOR 8G OC

The MSI GeForce® RTX 2070 ARMOR 8G OC builds on the reputation for solid thermal performance with a dual-fan thermal design. Taking the concept to a whole new level, the new ARMOR design adds a bit of heavy metal flair into the mix. The new ARMOR 2X thermal design uses TORX Fan 2.0, providing more concentrated airflow and air pressure for enhanced cooling performance. The Nickel-plated Copper base with high-efficiency Heatpipes transfer more heat from the GPU quickly and efficiently. MSI's Zero Frozr technology stops the fans in low-load situations such as web browsing or light gaming to remain fully silent. New on ARMOR are the backplate and Mystic Light RGB LEDs, supported by MSI’s exclusive Mystic Light software to customize your RGB settings from millions of colors.

GEFORCE RTX 2070 AERO

Sporting a sleek black & carbon look with subtle green accents, the MSI GeForce® RTX 2070 AERO 8G will look great in any build. The new AERO graphics cards it feature a thermal design built around a blower fan which pushes all the heated air out of the PC via a rear exhaust, making them perfect for cases with limited airflow or professional usage.

The product pages with specs and more pictures have actually been up on msi.com for several hours now though.

btw. I bet the rtx 2070 will be available sooner than I'll get my 2080 Duke (non-ti). Pre-ordered on Aug 21st from an official Nvidia retail partner in Norway (Komplett). Product still not delivered and no ETA! Many other 2080s have been available in vast quantities from Sept 20th. MSI really dropped the ball on this one.

i love MSI, i'm using one of their Nvidia laptops atm (GE 62mvr 7rg) and my 1080ti (gaming  x) is from them as well.
...but to me all of the 2070's are ugly, with the exception of the Armor - but typically no backplate on the Armor cards.

yikes.
i will say the Aero looks way better than previous models

To be honest; no rtx card so far is really appealing except the 2080ti. Like the 2080 for example; same performance as pascal (1080ti) but with less vram and a higher price. If the 2070 follows this pattern, I can't really see these selling well over pascal.

What would be interesting is if Nvidia released a new Titan. Seeing how the 2080ti is beating the titan v in gaming. Same thing happened with the 1080ti and titan xp.

the RTX cards are a stopgap and the more time passes since the release the clearer that has become. it doesn't mean the cards are bad, i'm positive the 2080/ti are excellent.

but it is exactly as you've said, no reason just yet to buy any of the RTX, and then probably not the 2070. IMHO, everybody willing to spend over $599 should wait another six months for real options.

and again, Ray Tracing is not exclusively Nvidia, it's Microsoft and AMD knows just as much about Ray Tracing as Nvidia.
the native compute of AMD cards can deal with Ray Tracing (at least Vega 56/64) through drivers. and as AMD is pretty heavy into game development it may not be surprising to find AMD titles coming out with full Ray Tracing implemented at the same time or before other titles. as no title currently available has the full blown Ray Tracing coded into it, just some "shiny objects".
