In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 5500 4GB are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce GT 2030.
The RX 5500 has a 418 MHz higher core clock speed and 96 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce GT 2030. This results in the RX 5500 providing 173.7 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 RX 5500 has a 418 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Render Output Units than the GeForce GT 2030. This results in the RX 5500 providing 33.4 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 RX 5500 was released over three years more recently than the GeForce GT 2030, and so the RX 5500 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 RX 5500 has 2048 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 RX 5500 also has superior memory performance overall.
The RX 5500 has 192 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce GT 2030, which means that the memory performance of the RX 5500 is massively better than the GeForce GT 2030.
The Radeon RX 5500 4GB has 1408 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GT 2030 has 384. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 5500 is 1689 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce GT 2030 is 578. The RX 5500 having 1111 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RX 5500 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce GT 2030.
The RX 5500 transistor size technology is 5 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GeForce GT 2030. This means that the RX 5500 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce GT 2030.
The Radeon RX 5500 4GB requires 110 Watts to run and the GeForce GT 2030 requires 30 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the RX 5500 and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GeForce GT 2030. The RX 5500 requires 80 Watts more than the GeForce GT 2030 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RX 5500 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GeForce GT 2030.

Mini Review | Overview The Radeon RX 5500 4GB is an entry-level graphics card which is part of the AMD Radeon RX 5000 series, announced on October 7th, 2019. Architecture It is powered by the 7nm Navi GPU, which has 1408 shader processing units, [xx] TMUs and [xx]] ROPs. GPU The central unit runs at 1670 MHz and goes up to 1845 MHz when the boost mode is triggered. Memory The RX 5500 4GB comes with a 4GB frame buffer of GDDR6 video memory through a 128-bit memory interface, while the memory clock operates at 1750MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 110W, it requires at least a 500W PSU with one available 8-pin connector. Performance The Radeon RX 5500 4GB been built as a Low/Mid performance graphics card for 2019. Its direct competitor is the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Super. It will run most triple AAA titles released during 2019 on medium to high graphics at 1080p screen resolution. With adjustments and lowering anti aliasing this RX 5500 4GB card can confidently maintain 60+ frames per seconds on high graphic settings at 1080p. Moving to 1440p screen resolution and the graphics card may need to be adjusted down to medium in order to maintain 50-60+ fps. System Suggestions The Radeon RX 5500 4GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080. We recommend a mid range R5 Ryzen processor and at least 8GB of system memory for optimal gaming performance from the RX 5500 4GB. | 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. |
