In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce GT 1030.

The GeForce GT 1030 has a 84 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX 570, but the RX 570 has 96 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce GT 1030. As a result, the RX 570 exhibits a 109.4 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GeForce GT 1030. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.

The GeForce GT 1030 has a 84 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX 570, but the RX 570 has 16 more Render Output Units than the GeForce GT 1030. As a result, the RX 570 exhibits a 17.4 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the GeForce GT 1030. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

The GeForce GT 1030 was released less than a year after the RX 570, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.

The RX 570 has 2048 MB more video memory than the GeForce GT 1030, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the RX 570 also has superior memory performance overall.

The RX 570 has 192 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce GT 1030, which means that the memory performance of the RX 570 is massively better than the GeForce GT 1030.

The GeForce GT 1030 has 384 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB has 2048. However, the actual shader performance of the GeForce GT 1030 is 578 and the actual shader performance of the RX 570 is 2683. The RX 570 having 2105 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RX 570 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce GT 1030.

The RX 570 transistor size technology is 2 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GeForce GT 1030. This means that the RX 570 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce GT 1030.

The GeForce GT 1030 requires 30 Watts to run and the Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB requires 120 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GeForce GT 1030 and a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RX 570. The RX 570 requires 90 Watts more than the GeForce GT 1030 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RX 570 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GeForce GT 1030.
