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 GT 2030.
The RTX 3090 has a 158 MHz higher core clock speed and 288 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce GT 2030. This results in the RTX 3090 providing 411.1 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 158 MHz higher core clock speed and 80 more Render Output Units than the GeForce GT 2030. This results in the RTX 3090 providing 115.4 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 RTX 3090 was released over three years more recently than the GeForce GT 2030, 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 GT 2030 when running the latest games.
The RTX 3090 has 22528 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 3090 also has superior memory performance overall.
The GeForce GT 2030 has 32 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RTX 3090, which means that the memory performance of the GeForce GT 2030 is noticeably better than the RTX 3090.
The GeForce RTX 3090 KFA2 EX Gamer White 24GB has 10496 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GT 2030 has 384. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 3090 is 18263 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce GT 2030 is 578. The RTX 3090 having 17685 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 GT 2030.
The RTX 3090 transistor size technology is 4 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GeForce GT 2030. This means that the RTX 3090 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce GT 2030.
The GeForce RTX 3090 KFA2 EX Gamer White 24GB requires 350 Watts to run and the GeForce GT 2030 requires 30 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 GT 2030. The RTX 3090 requires 320 Watts more than the GeForce GT 2030 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 GT 2030.

Mini Review | Overview The GeForce RTX 3090 KFA2 EX Gamer White 24GB is the top RTX 30 Series graphics card and considered an Enthusiast graphics card based on the Ampere architecture. Architecture The Ampere architecture represents a process shrink down to 7nm compared to 12nm Turing. The Ampere architecture provides the world's next consumer support for real-time ray-tracing technology, or RTX. GPU It equips a GPU Codenamed Ampere GA102 which has 5120 Shader Processing Units, 320 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1520MHz and goes up to 1740MHz in Boost mode. It also has 610 Tensor Cores for AI purposes and 72 RT Cores for real-time ray-tracing. Memory The GPU accesses a 24GB frame buffer of second-gen GDDR6X memory through a 384-bit memory interface, while the Memory clock operates at 1750MHz, or 14GHz effective. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 350W, it requires at least a 750W PSU with two 8-pin power connectors. System Suggestions The GeForce RTX 3090 KFA2 EX Gamer White 24GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840x2160. We recommend a top-End Processor and at least 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. |
