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 GT 2030.
The RTX 2070 has a 158 MHz higher core clock speed and 112 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce GT 2030. This results in the RTX 2070 providing 162.9 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 158 MHz higher core clock speed and 48 more Render Output Units than the GeForce GT 2030. This results in the RTX 2070 providing 70.2 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 GT 2030, 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 GT 2030 when running the latest games.
The RTX 2070 has 6144 MB more video memory than the GeForce GT 2030, 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 416 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce GT 2030, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2070 is massively better than the GeForce GT 2030.
The GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB has 2304 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GT 2030 has 384. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2070 is 4216 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce GT 2030 is 578. The RTX 2070 having 3638 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 GT 2030.
The GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB requires 175 Watts to run and the GeForce GT 2030 requires 30 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 GT 2030. The RTX 2070 requires 145 Watts more than the GeForce GT 2030 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 GT 2030.

| 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 GeForce GT 2030 2GB is a rumoured low-end 20 series Nvidia graphics card based on the first revision of the Turing GPU architecture. Architecture The first variant of the Turing architecture succeeds the Pascal architecture. Manufactured with a 12nm technology, it has a large L2 Cache, which allows NVIDIA to produce graphics cards with relatively small memory data transfer rates, without causing too much impact on the overall performance. Furthermore, the Shaders have been redesigned and are both more powerful and energy efficient. GPU The GT 2030 equips a GPU codenamed GT108 and offers [TBA] Shader Processing Units, [TBA] TMUs and [TBA] ROPs, on a 64-bit memory interface. The central unit runs at 1252MHz and goes up to 1506MHz, in Turbo Mode, while the memory clock operates at 1250MHz. Features DirectX 12.0 Support (11.0 Hardware Default) and support for GameStream, G-SYNC, GPU Boost 2.0, GeForce Experience, PhysX and other technologies. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 30W, it requires at least a 300W PSU and relies entirely on the PCI Slot for power. Release Price The GeForce GT 2030 is a low-end graphics card that focuses on games requiring minimal graphics performance. It may run some AAA games in 2018 on Low. Consequently, the GT 2030 will come with a budget price tag and will be available from as little as $79.99. | |||
