Verdict
AMD Instinct MI210
7.3 / 10 Expert Rating
A practical, PCIe-slot-friendly way to get CDNA 2 compute into a standard server, useful for smaller HPC and AI deployments, but clearly the entry point of its generation next to the dual-die MI250X and now well behind the MI300 series.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super
5.8 / 10 Expert Rating
The best-balanced card of the RTX 20 Super refresh; a fine budget legacy pick today but outclassed on RT and upscaling by any RTX 30-series card.
