In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 KFA2 EX Gamer White 24GB are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 2050.

The RTX 3090 has a 56 MHz higher core clock speed and 280 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce GTX 2050. This results in the RTX 3090 providing 397 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 3090 has a 56 MHz higher core clock speed and 64 more Render Output Units than the GeForce GTX 2050. This results in the RTX 3090 providing 92.1 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 3090 was released over three years more recently than the GeForce GTX 2050, and so the RTX 3090 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 3090 has 20480 MB more video memory than the GeForce GTX 2050, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. However, overall, the GeForce GTX 2050 has superior memory performance.

The GeForce GTX 2050 has 112.1 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RTX 3090, which means that the memory performance of the GeForce GTX 2050 is massively better than the RTX 3090.

The GeForce RTX 3090 KFA2 EX Gamer White 24GB has 10496 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 2050 has 640. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 3090 is 18263 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce GTX 2050 is 931. The RTX 3090 having 17332 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RTX 3090 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce GTX 2050.

The RTX 3090 transistor size technology is 6 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GeForce GTX 2050. This means that the RTX 3090 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce GTX 2050.

The GeForce RTX 3090 KFA2 EX Gamer White 24GB requires 350 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 2050 requires 75 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 750 Watts for the RTX 3090 and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GeForce GTX 2050. The RTX 3090 requires 275 Watts more than the GeForce GTX 2050 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RTX 3090 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GeForce GTX 2050.
