NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Linux Gaming Benchmarks
Here is a look at the overall GPU temperatures recorded by the Phoronix Test Suite over the span of all the Linux gaming benchmarks carried out for this article. Most of the NVIDIA cards tested are the Founder's Edition parts, but the main takeaway is the thermal data for those interested in the EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 XC GAMING (08G-P4-2172-KR)... This graphics card ran comfortable with an average GPU core load temperature around 60 degrees and a peak of 68 degrees, among the coolest of the cards tested under gaming loads.
Here is also a look at the overall AC system power consumption over the course of all the Linux game benchmarks. The EVGA RTX 2070 with the Intel Core i9 9900K system led to an average power draw of 199 Watts and a peak of 270 Watts. The minimum temperature during idle periods was just 46 Watts.
Lastly are performance-per-dollar metrics based upon current US retail GPU pricing.
The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti tended to lead with the best value for Linux gaming while the EVGA RTX 2070 at $549 USD tended to be in the middle of the bunch.
