You can look at the RTX 2080 review. The RTX 2080 is slightly faster than the GTX 1080Ti and the RTX 2070 Super is slightly slower than the RTX 2080. Therefore, the RTX 2070 Super should be around GTX 1080Ti performance.
Would have been nice to see some GTX numbers in there for comparison, I can't be the only person still running a 1080 or something that is still at least semi competitive. Hell I've got a house full of 1060's on 1080p screens and haven't seen any reason to touch them yet. Also, F these prices. The new norm for GPU cost blows.
I don't think we're going to see much progress with 1080p, not for a long time. We have 60fps and little sign of increasing graphics fidelity which is going to push that fps down on any hardware which currently achieves it.
@Ryan: Firstly, thanks for the quick review of these "S" cards by Nvidia. I have two questions about your description of the 2070s, you write "All told, NVIDIA has disabled 8 of TU104’s 48 SMs here, leaving a card with 40 SMs, or 2560 Turing CUDA cores." My questions are: Are those chips lower binned (partially defective) big Turings that are then "cut" down to exactly 40 SMs? And, regardless of the binning question, how does Nvidia disable SMs? Laser them out? Thanks for answering!
Thanks Ryan! So, maybe they do have a bunch of lower binned Turings that needed a home (and a paying customer). Dating myself here, but, many, many years ago, NVIDIA had a GeForce card that could be made into a Quattro that cost 3x that by changing a connection with a soldering iron, and a very (!) steady hand. I never dared to try, as one wrong move with that soldering tip could trash the entire card, no repair possible.

Looks like my 1080ti will hold out another year. 2+ years seems like forever.eastcoast_pete - Tuesday, July 2, 2019 - link

" Are those chips lower binned (partially defective) big Turings that are then "cut" down to exactly 40 SMs?"They don't have to be, but generally yes.
"And, regardless of the binning question, how does Nvidia disable SMs? Laser them out?"
Lasers and eFuses, as I understand it. Either way it's very much baked into the GPU itself.
