Hi all  The 2070 XC Ultra is currently on sale at Scan for £509.99 - £40 off - so I am seriously considering it as an upgrade from my current 1060 6gb. I don't like buying blind though, and so far, there have been 0 reviews that I can find online for this card. Seen them for the standard XC, but not the Ultra. Anyone out there who has it and can give me a decent round-up - pros, cons? Particularly looking at heat and noise, but performance would be great too. Not looking for an essay, don't worry! For comparison, my current card is a Asus Rog Strix 1060 6gb overclocked yada yada. Does great at 1080p 144Hz but looking at moving to 2k @ 120/144Hz. Thanks a lot in advance.

While I appreciate the video, this is for the Black, not the XC Ultra. Hopefully someone can help me :)

The only difference between the XC and the XC Ultra is a 15 MHz higher clock on the Ultra, otherwise they are identical. A review for one will be the exact same as the other.

Hey - are you sure? It's also 2.75 slot instead of 2 slot, so clearly there is more than just the clock speed which is the difference. I'm looking to get an actual hands on review from someone who has one, please. Thank you.

Whoops, you are correct.
