In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce GT 1030.
The RTX 2060 has a 218 MHz higher core clock speed and 104 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce GT 1030. This results in the RTX 2060 providing 159.8 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 2060 has a 218 MHz higher core clock speed and 48 more Render Output Units than the GeForce GT 1030. This results in the RTX 2060 providing 74.1 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 2060 was released over a year more recently than the GeForce GT 1030, and so the RTX 2060 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GeForce GT 1030.
The RTX 2060 has 6144 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 RTX 2060 also has superior memory performance overall.
The RTX 2060 has 416 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce GT 1030, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2060 is massively better than the GeForce GT 1030.
The GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB has 2176 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GT 1030 has 384. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2060 is 3949 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce GT 1030 is 578. The RTX 2060 having 3371 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RTX 2060 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce GT 1030.
The RTX 2060 transistor size technology is 4 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GeForce GT 1030. This means that the RTX 2060 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce GT 1030.
The GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB requires 175 Watts to run and the GeForce GT 1030 requires 30 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the RTX 2060 and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GeForce GT 1030. The RTX 2060 requires 145 Watts more than the GeForce GT 1030 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RTX 2060 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GeForce GT 1030.

| Mini Review | Overview The GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB is a mid to high-range GeForce 20 Series graphics card and considered a great price to performance graphics card based on the Turing architecture. This is the 'Super' variant of the RTX 2060 and utilises a cut-down version of the RTX 2070 GPU. Architecture The Turing architecture represents a process shrink down to 12nm compared to 14nm Pascal. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing technology, or RTX. The GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB supports real-time ray-tracing and excels at 1080p and 1440p screen resolutions. GPU It equips a Turing GPU codenamed TU106-410-A which has 2176 Shader Processing Units, 136 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1470 MHz and goes up to 1815 MHz in Boost mode. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of first-gen GDDR6 memory through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory clock operates at 1750MHz, or 14GHz effective. This provides total memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 160W, it requires at least a 550W PSU with an 8-pin power connector. System Suggestions The GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC 3X White 8GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 2560x1440. We recommend a mid-range Processor and at least 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | Overview GeForce GT 1030 2GB is a low-end 1000 series Nvidia graphics card based on the first revision of the Pascal architecture. Architecture The first variant of the Pascal architecture succeeds the Maxwell architecture. Manufactured with a 16nm 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 1030 equips a GPU codenamed GP108 and offers 384 Shader Processing Units, 32 TMUs and 16 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 1030 is a low end graphics card that focuses on games requiring minimum graphics performance. Consequently the GT 1030 will come with a budget price tag and will be available from as little as $79.99. | |||
