But you can already buy a 2080S starting at $700, so this is just selling at MSRP. I don't understand the purpose of these new SKUs. I guess EVGA is cutting the backplate and VRM cooling and selling them slightly cheaper than their previous line.
This hardly seems newsworthy, unlike their 2060KO which was an actual price drop and an interestingly binned GPU to boot.

The 2060 KO came with price cut and included a backplate. The 2070 Super KO doesn't come with a price cut, and they still expect you to pay extra for the backplate they include for free with their $200 models.
In EVGA's defense, a lot of buyers are gamers and gamers can be rather young 20-somethings without a lot of life experience so these goofy marketing methods work pretty well on those that are dreaming of becoming "esports" stars.
it's not just computer companies that use this kind of marketing either - i.e. another product whose key demographic is 20something men, sportbikes and use of the letter "R" ZX-6R/RR, CBR600RR, R6, GSX-R600, etc. more R = moar betterer!
No, HDMI 2.0 does not have enough bandwidth for a proper 4K120 experience. You may be able to use with with YCbCr 4:2:0, but thats such a visual downgrade for gaming that I would not recommend it to anyone.
I wonder if they would use ultra binned-down version of TU102 as 2060KO uses TU104 die. And oddly enough, they don't seem to have a Type-C port for saving 10$ presumably.
but, its use is for VirtualLink, which is for VR headsets, may not be usable as a alt-mode display output. sorry timecop1818, but it looks like you might be wrong in assuming it can be used as another display port output
Well about that, I can confirm it does support display alt mode. VR Link might have some display over USB packets stuff, but I haven't read anything about that.
What, virtuallink is just another alt-mode extension and DisplayPort alt-mode is also supported just fine, I've used it and the great part about it being standard is that it just works.
At the end of 2020 or early 2021. Most sites Are betting on that timeframe. Ofcourse only Nvidia know and considering current situation, it may be so that even Nvidia does not know.
So...the 2070 Super KO Gaming has the same clocks as the 2070 Super Black Gaming. I wonder why EVGA rates the former as being 20 watts hungrier than the latter in the product specs (235W versus 215)? Odd. Does the improved cooling take 20 watts to deliver?
Lower asic quality? Maybe its older (stockpiled failed 215W bin) 'leaky' silicon. I.e The chip fails at 1.1volts; whereas at 1.15v it works & at high clocks.
Honestly, the naming fail big time. First it was a cheesy name for a refreshed product from Nvidia by adding the word Super on it. Then now another cheesy naming from EVGA call KO. Super KO anyone? I feel Nvidia could have added a 5 to the last digit of the model, i.e. RTX 2065, 2075, etc. It serves the purpose of telling people that this is the same 2xxx Turing series, but different from the old model that it is replacing.
Why are these models still that much op? Desired priced should be around 500-700$. My 1080stock is dying while i'm rendering my game reviews for https://casinoshunter.com/online-casinos/ . Hope the prices will drop down after new release

It says right in the article that both cards match the specs of reference cards, and lists those specs...schizoide - Friday, April 10, 2020 - link
Same specs, selling at the previous MSRP, without a backplate. That sentence could have been the entire article.boozed - Monday, April 13, 2020 - link

so, same cooler as the black gaming series, but no backplate?and it's $10 more than the black gaming on EVGA's site?
seems like a pointless exercise in segmentation

Fake KO model.The 2060 KO came with price cut and included a backplate.
The 2070 Super KO doesn't come with a price cut, and they still expect you to pay extra for the backplate they include for free with their $200 models.
Laughable.
