In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GT 2030 are marginally better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti Gigabyte OC 1GB Edition.

The GeForce GT 2030 has a 352 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 560 Ti, but the GTX 560 Ti has 32 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce GT 2030. As a result, the GTX 560 Ti exhibits a 17.5 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GeForce GT 2030. 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 2030 has a 352 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 560 Ti, but the GTX 560 Ti has 16 more Render Output Units than the GeForce GT 2030. As a result, the GTX 560 Ti exhibits a 8.8 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the GeForce GT 2030. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

The GTX 560 Ti was released over three years more recently than the GeForce GT 2030, and so the GTX 560 Ti 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 GeForce GT 2030 has 1024 MB more video memory than the GTX 560 Ti, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. However, overall, the GTX 560 Ti has superior memory performance.

The GTX 560 Ti has 96 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce GT 2030, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 560 Ti is massively better than the GeForce GT 2030.

Both the GeForce GT 2030 and the GeForce GTX 560 Ti Gigabyte OC 1GB Edition have 384 Shader Processing Units. While the two GPUs have the same number of SPUs, the actual performance delivered by the GTX 560 Ti is 691 and by the GeForce GT 2030 is 691. Knowing that the shader performance of the GTX 560 Ti is superior, it is not necessary to examine the GPUs' respective Texture and Pixel Fill Rates.

The GeForce GT 2030 transistor size technology is 28 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 560 Ti. This means that the GeForce GT 2030 is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 560 Ti. While they exhibit similar graphical performance, the GeForce GT 2030 should consume less power than the GTX 560 Ti.

The GeForce GT 2030 requires 30 Watts to run but there is no entry for the GeForce GTX 560 Ti Gigabyte OC 1GB Edition. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GeForce GT 2030.
