In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB are significantly better than the AMD Radeon RX 5300.

The RTX 2070 has a 410 MHz higher core clock speed and 56 more Texture Mapping Units than the Radeon RX 5300. This results in the RTX 2070 providing 115 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 410 MHz higher core clock speed and 32 more Render Output Units than the Radeon RX 5300. This results in the RTX 2070 providing 58.2 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 Radeon RX 5300 was released over a year more recently than the RTX 2070, and so the Radeon RX 5300 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the RTX 2070.

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 5120 MB more video memory than the Radeon RX 5300, 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 280 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the Radeon RX 5300, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2070 is massively better than the Radeon RX 5300.

The Radeon RX 5300 has 1536 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB has 2304. However, the actual shader performance of the Radeon RX 5300 is 1897 and the actual shader performance of the RTX 2070 is 4216. The RTX 2070 having 2319 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 Radeon RX 5300.

The Radeon RX 5300 transistor size technology is 5 nm (nanometers) smaller than the RTX 2070. This means that the Radeon RX 5300 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the RTX 2070.

The Radeon RX 5300 requires 85 Watts to run and the GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB requires 225 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the Radeon RX 5300 and a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the RTX 2070. The RTX 2070 requires 140 Watts more than the Radeon RX 5300 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 Radeon RX 5300.
