Anyone here know anything about the Galax 2070 OC?

It's the cheapest 2070 I can find in Australia ($30 cheaper than the next lowest 2070 and $150 cheaper than the next OC'd 2070 available).

Also comes with a boosted clock of 1815Mhz which is crazy high as the lower ended 2070 OC cards only get boosted to ~17xx.

2070's that get clocked up to ~18xx are all like $300 more than this card which is why I'm hesitant.

Seems too good to be true but I literally can't find any information online about this card, only a dodgy YouTube review that's not even in English.

If it says OC it has to be a A chip.

I will just solder the shunt, no worries there. Just not sure when I can find the time.

Direct shunt will trigger the card to stay at 300Mhz, the shunt has to have resistance, or use a 0.003 ohm resistor as a shunt.
In my "Señor Clamp" mod I used a electronic cigarette resistance wire that has resistance, you cant check the pictures but I don't recommend it.

I am hearing about power restrictions. What is that looking like in real world clocks? In a review I watched the lowest end 2070 hot over 2ghz just like the other cards.

Is this similar to the 670/680 launch where beefed up cards were hitting similar clocks to basic cards?

Edit### Looks like I was mistaken the GN reviews says the card is power limited (EVGA Black)

I have a Armor nonA chip, I can bench it with +150 to +180 (some runs it crashes) and it only reaches 2070MHz droping to 2055MHz. I tested it in valley benchmark.
But in games, the real deal, COD BO4 it is stable at only +100, reaching only 1980MHz but constant, in overwatch it has to be at +80, don't remember the max clock here...
I made a "Señor Clamp" but didn't test it much, I got scared the air flow from the fans knocked the clamp off and shortcut something, but it works, the power limit is lower than 90%...

Now I know I should bought a 1080ti instead.... :|

@boi801 Have you tried flashing the MSI Armor OC bios into your non OC card using the modded NVFlash?

Armor Bios (0x1F02): https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/204609/msi-rtx2070-8192-180926
Armor OC Bios (0x1F07): https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/204624/msi-rtx2070-8192-180925
Modded NVFlash: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-nvflash-with-board-id-mismatch-disabled

There only seems to be a +10W power limit difference but this would be nice to get a small increase in overclocking with minimum temperature increasement.

I don't have the guts to cross flash the bios myself, but I'm just wondering if you have tried to do this already or if NVFlash simply refuses to flash this bios because of the DeviceId differences.
(Please do not try to flash this bios if you haven't done so already, because I don't want to be the reason your card gets bricked just to test it for us :D)

My Armor currently runs at (Core Max Boost) 1995mhz but it would be nice if I can boost it to around 2050mhz with the OC bios.

Already tried it, cant flash a nonA chip with a A chip card....

Thanks for replying, I know about the chip differences 0x1F02 = 400 and 0x1F07 = 400A.

But I was wondering why it doesn't work, for example does NVFlash simply refuse to flash the bios?
or does the pc not boot after flashing? or does perhaps Windows not recognize the card after flashing?

Hex comparing the two bios files only show minor differences but modding the non oc bios is not a solution due to the certificate checks.

My MSI card also has a pretty bad coil whine during regular gaming, so I might just take a gamble and return to card in the hope of getting a better overclock sample returned.

The card is currently running stable at +180 (Core), 1980/1995/2010mhz (Max Boost) and +830 (15662mhz) on the memory, I can run 3D Marks successfully on 16000mhz but then my screen is full of artifacts :)

I also had a Gigabyte 2070 Windforce before the MSI card which I returned due to a faulty fan, this card had the regular 400 chip as well and uploaded the bios here if someone is interested: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/204765/204765

Hello,

Nvflash doesn't let it flash, it outputs the mismatch ID error....

My card (2070 armor, nonA chip) only shows artifacts after +950MHz on memes and I never got artifacts for overclocking the core, if you can run +180 I think its very good.

Since yesterday with the new nvidia driver I was able to run stable at +150, and before I only could get +80 on overwatch and +100 com COD Bo4, I know they fixed some power problems on this driver for the RTX cards.... and since mine never shows artifacts by OCing the core it make think its limited only by power.

With this new driver my OC limitations at +160 to +170 the game or 3D applications freezes after some minutes, but only the application not the PC, with +180 or more the application/game freezes immediately at launch and sometimes the PC requires a reboot.

Before this driver COD and OW with +80 and +100 only reached 1960 and 1980MHZ, now with +150 it always at 2040! and my card on air with the default cooler at 100% fans is at 47-48ºC ... I dont understand how low are the temps are on this card....

Thanks for the info, my reverse engineering skills are a bit rusty otherwise I would have checked it out if it's possible to also mod NVFlash to remove the device id check like they already did with the board id check.

I had to drop my core to +175 to run 3DMark Fire Strike stable in a loop for a couple hours,
my max boost with +175 is now always somewhere between 1965(1037mV), 1980mhz(1043mV) and 1995mhz(1050mV) using a power limit of 114%.

I used the moded nvflash by Vipeax...

I ran the 3dmark time spy and got 1980 to 2040MHz with my lower OC.... voltage max was 1.050v and max temp 49ºC, don't understand why mine clocked higher....

the score, for science:

Anyone having display flicker issues with the 2070?
I have an EVGA XC Ultra and my secondary displays are flickering.

YES! I did on the red marked port, I have 2 DP 144Hz monitors and the one connected to the red one sometimes flickers, so I use the green marked ones without flickering...

The big clock speed differences is probably related to the temperature of our cards, I'm using a maximum fan speed of 50% instead of 100%
here are some test examples running Unigine Heaven Extreme in the background:

+175 Core (114 Powerlimit) (100% Fanspeed) (57c/134f)
2025mhz 1050mV
2010mhz 1031mV
1995mhz 1018mV

+175 Core (114 Powerlimit) (50% Fanspeed) (74c/165f)
1980mhz 1050mV
1965mhz 1031mV
1950mhz 1018mV

Seems like GPU Boost doesn't like high temperatures and decides to drop down the clock speeds based on it.

I'm returning this card on monday because the OC models suddenly had a 50 euro price cut in my country, which I can't refuse :D

Hi guys, I am going to receive my new Evga 2070 XC, should I flash bios from 2070 XC ULTRA or it is pointless?

I think it would be wiser if you overclock with your default bios first to see if you reach clock speeds that satisfy you,
flashing a bios that gives you more power will also increase your cards temperature and you might only see a 50/100mhz (maybe more, maybe less) gain in the core clock.

Cross flashing your bios will most likely void your 3/4 year warranty which we really need (atleast in the first few weeks) to see if your card keeps working.

Just tested this bios from gigabyte:
https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/204764/gigabyte-rtx2070-8192-180918
Board power - limit Target: 215.0 W - Limit: 240.0 W

Its the best one I tried but still doesn't do much for may case... Its more stable even at +170 but one of the fans stays as 30%, so the card goes up to 56ºC and the same boost I had... I rather do the same with +150 at 48ºC ...

This bios is from a nonA chip.

MSI Gaming Z a good performer?

Looks like it to me from the techpowerup review, and not going to spend $800+ AUD for a 2nd hand 1080ti with no warranty (the warranty for my 5960X has been priceless with 3 dead in a couple of years - warranty is not something to pass up on anymore).

So, it's $1069 AUD (above my budget but going to scrape it together), pushing a 55" KS8000 4K (currently using a 980ti) on a godlike mobo.

I'm running games at 4k with the 980ti (detail settings tweaked to stick 60fps).
