In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR5 are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 2050.

The RTX 2060 has a 11 MHz higher core clock speed and 80 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce GTX 2050. This results in the RTX 2060 providing 109.6 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.

The RTX 2060 has a 11 MHz higher core clock speed and 15 more Render Output Units than the GeForce GTX 2050. This results in the RTX 2060 providing 20.9 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

The RTX 2060 was released over three years more recently than the GeForce GTX 2050, and so the RTX 2060 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the GeForce GTX 2050 when running the latest games.

Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.

The RTX 2060 has 2048 MB more video memory than the GeForce GTX 2050, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the RTX 2060 also has superior memory performance overall.

The RTX 2060 has 31.9 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce GTX 2050, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2060 is noticeably better than the GeForce GTX 2050.

The GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR5 has 1920 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 2050 has 640. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2060 is 3226 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce GTX 2050 is 931. The RTX 2060 having 2295 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RTX 2060 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce GTX 2050.

The RTX 2060 transistor size technology is 2 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GeForce GTX 2050. This means that the RTX 2060 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce GTX 2050.

The GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR5 requires 150 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 2050 requires 75 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RTX 2060 and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GeForce GTX 2050. The RTX 2060 requires 75 Watts more than the GeForce GTX 2050 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RTX 2060 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GeForce GTX 2050.
