In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 2050 Ti 4GB.
The RTX 2080 has a 225 MHz higher core clock speed and 136 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 2050 Ti. This results in the RTX 2080 providing 216.9 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 2080 has a 225 MHz higher core clock speed and 32 more Render Output Units than the GTX 2050 Ti. This results in the RTX 2080 providing 55.7 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 2080 was released over three years more recently than the GTX 2050 Ti, and so the RTX 2080 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the GTX 2050 Ti 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 2080 has 4096 MB more video memory than the GTX 2050 Ti, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the RTX 2080 also has superior memory performance overall.
The RTX 2080 has 335.9 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 2050 Ti, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2080 is massively better than the GTX 2050 Ti.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB has 2944 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 2050 Ti 4GB has 768. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2080 is 5034 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 2050 Ti is 1069. The RTX 2080 having 3965 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RTX 2080 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 2050 Ti.
The RTX 2080 transistor size technology is 4 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 2050 Ti. This means that the RTX 2080 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 2050 Ti.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB requires 215 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 2050 Ti 4GB requires 75 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 650 Watts for the RTX 2080 and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GTX 2050 Ti. The RTX 2080 requires 140 Watts more than the GTX 2050 Ti to run. The difference is significant enough that the RTX 2080 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 2050 Ti.

| Mini Review | Overview The GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Blower 8GB is a High-End Graphics Card based on the Turing Architecture and is suitable for 1440p or 4K gaming. This is a dual-slot graphics card with a basic blower fan design. This video card has poor overclocking potential. Architecture It equips a Turing GPU Codenamed TU104. More specifically, it uses the TU104-400-A1 variant which means factor overclocks are not permitted. This is a First Gen Turing GPU and has 20 SM activated, offering 2944 Shader Processing Units, 184 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing (RTX) technology. It also has 368 Tensor Cores for AI purposes. GPU The central unit runs at 1515MHz and goes up to 1710MHz in Turbo Mode, the same as the reference specs and 5% slower clock speeds than the Founders Edition. 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 448 Gb/s. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 215W, it requires at least a 650W PSU with available 8-pin + 6-pin power connector. Performance The performance of the GeForce RTX 2080 is slightly faster than the GTX 1080 Ti, making it a suitable graphics card for 4K gaming. System Suggestions GeForce RTX 2080 Gainward Phoenix 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 Ti is a rumoured Nvidia lower-end Turing graphics card that will be announced in 2019. It is competing against AMDs more affordable gaming cards. Architecture The Turing Architecture aims for 30-50% as much performance as the previous-gen Pascal Architecture. GPU It equips a GPU codenamed GT107 which has [xxx] SM activated and [xxx] Shader Processing Units, [xxx] TMUs and [xxx] ROPs. The central unit runs at [xxx]MHz and goes up to [xxx]MHz when the Boost Clock is triggered in game. 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 Ti will enable mid-level graphics performance on modern AAA 2019 released games. Although there will be variations on this frame rate we expect this card to deliver around 55+ FPS on medium graphics settings at a 1080p screen resolution. Comparatively, this card will be faster than the performance of the outgoing GTX 1050 Ti System Suggestions GeForce GTX 2050 Ti is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080. We recommend a modern CPU like the i5-7500 and 12GB of RAM for minimal system bottleneck. | |||
