In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 2050.
The RTX 2070 has a 56 MHz higher core clock speed and 104 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce GTX 2050. This results in the RTX 2070 providing 148.8 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 2070 has a 56 MHz higher core clock speed and 32 more Render Output Units than the GeForce GTX 2050. This results in the RTX 2070 providing 46.9 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 2070 was released over three years more recently than the GeForce GTX 2050, and so the RTX 2070 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 2070 has 4096 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 2070 also has superior memory performance overall.
The RTX 2070 has 335.9 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce GTX 2050, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2070 is massively better than the GeForce GTX 2050.
The GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB has 2304 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 2050 has 640. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2070 is 4216 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce GTX 2050 is 931. The RTX 2070 having 3285 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RTX 2070 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce GTX 2050.
The RTX 2070 transistor size technology is 2 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GeForce GTX 2050. This means that the RTX 2070 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce GTX 2050.
The GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB requires 175 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 2050 requires 75 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the RTX 2070 and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GeForce GTX 2050. The RTX 2070 requires 100 Watts more than the GeForce GTX 2050 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RTX 2070 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GeForce GTX 2050.

| Mini Review | Overview The GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB is a High-End Graphics Card based on the 12nm Turing Architecture and is considered a great 1440p video card. This is a dual-slot graphics card with three 80mm fans equipped with special fan blade design for low noise, high air volume cooling, premium trio copper pipe cooling, all-black design, and RGB lighting. Architecture It equips a cut-down Turing GPU Codenamed TU106, more specifically the TU106-400A-A1 variant which means factory overclocks are permitted. This is a First Gen Turing GPU and has 16 SM activated, offering 2304 CUDA Shader Processing Units, 144 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing (RTX) technology. It is equipped with 288 Tensor Cores for AI purposes and 32 RT Cores for ray-tracing. GPU The central unit runs at 1410 MHz and goes up to 1830 MHz in Boost Mode, providing a large 13% overclocked compared to the reference model. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of Second Gen GDDR6 through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock Operates at 1750MHz, or 14GHz effective. Total memory bandwidth is 448GB/s. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 175W, it requires at least a 550W PSU with one available 8-pin and one 6-pin power connector. Performance The GeForce RTX 2070 offers performance in between the GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, albeit also boasting ray-tracing and DLSS support. System Suggestions The GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840x2160. We recommend a high-end processor and 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | Overview The GeForce GTX 2050 is an expect Nvidia low-end graphics card due to launch in 2019. The GTX 2050 is designed to compete against AMD's more affordable gaming cards such as the RX 550 and the RX 560, and expected to replace the outgoing GTX 1050. Architecture The Turing Architecture aims for 30-50% as much performance as the previous-gen Turing Architecture. GPU It equips a GPU Codenamed Turing T107-400 which has [TBA] SM activated and thus [TBA] Shader Processing Units, [TBA] TMUs and [TBA] ROPs. The central unit runs at [TBA]MHz and goes up to [TBA]MHz with the Boost Clock. Memory The GPU accesses a 4GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface, while the memory clock Operates at 3504MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 75W, it relies entirely on the PCI Slot for power, meaning no extra connectors are required. Performance The GTX 2050 will enable low to mid-level graphics performance on modern AAA 2018 released games. Although there will be variations on this frame rate we expect this card to deliver around 50+ FPS on medium graphics settings at a 1080p screen resolution. Comparatively, this card will have slightly faster performance than the GTX 1050 Ti. System Suggestions The GeForce GTX 2050 is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080, so our recommendation would be to use 1600x900 in order to get the most out of your settings. We recommend a high-end processor such as the i5-7500 and 8GB of RAM for optimal performance. | |||
