In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT MSI Gaming 6GB are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 2050 Ti 4GB.
The GTX 2050 Ti has a 105 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX 5600 XT, but the RX 5600 XT has 96 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 2050 Ti. As a result, the RX 5600 XT exhibits a 108.7 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GTX 2050 Ti. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 2050 Ti has a 105 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX 5600 XT, but the RX 5600 XT has 32 more Render Output Units than the GTX 2050 Ti. As a result, the RX 5600 XT exhibits a 34.5 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the GTX 2050 Ti. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RX 5600 XT was released over three years more recently than the GTX 2050 Ti, and so the RX 5600 XT is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the GTX 2050 Ti 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 RX 5600 XT has 2048 MB more video memory than the GTX 2050 Ti, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the RX 5600 XT also has superior memory performance overall.
The RX 5600 XT has 175.9 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 2050 Ti, which means that the memory performance of the RX 5600 XT is massively better than the GTX 2050 Ti.
The Radeon RX 5600 XT MSI Gaming 6GB has 2304 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 2050 Ti 4GB has 768. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 5600 XT is 2396 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 2050 Ti is 1069. The RX 5600 XT having 1327 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RX 5600 XT delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 2050 Ti.
The RX 5600 XT transistor size technology is 9 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 2050 Ti. This means that the RX 5600 XT is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 2050 Ti.
The Radeon RX 5600 XT MSI Gaming 6GB requires 150 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 2050 Ti 4GB requires 75 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the RX 5600 XT and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GTX 2050 Ti. The RX 5600 XT requires 75 Watts more than the GTX 2050 Ti to run. The difference is significant enough that the RX 5600 XT may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 2050 Ti.

| Mini Review | Overview The AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT MSI Gaming 6GB is an mid-tier gaming Graphics Card based on the first (1.0) Revision of the RDNA Architecture. Architecture The Navi 10 XL GPU offers support for GDDR6 Memory, DirectX 12.0, Vulkan 1.0, and OpenGL 4.5. GPU This variant of the Navi 10 XL GPU features 36 Compute Units activated, offering 2304 Shader Processing Units, 144 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The GPU features a 1375 MHz base clock speed and up to 1560 MHz with boost clock, making it an estimated 20% slower than a Radeon RX 5700 8GB. This puts its predicted performance at roughly 20% faster than a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. Memory: Speed The GPU is equipped with 6GB high-speed GDDR6 and accesses the Frame Buffer through a 192-bit memory interface, providing total memory bandwidth of 288 GB/s. Memory: Frame Buffer The GPU can fill up a Memory Pool of up to 6GB. Under most circumstances, this only proves useful in certain 3D Games whose Settings Require Large Amounts of Memory. However,the GPU itself is aimed for 1080p Gaming. In some limited scenarios at 1440p resolution, 6GB video memory might be a bottleneck and Performance could be better were the Frame Buffer larger, however this would only be an issue in the most demanding games. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 150W, it requires at least a 550W PSU with available 8+8-pin connector. Performance AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB competes with GeForce GTX 1660 Ti which is available for $329. System Suggestions The Radeon RX 5600 XT MSI Gaming 6GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 2650 x 1480 but is ideally suited for 1920 x 1080. For the most demanding AAA games it should be ideally suited to 1080p. We recommend a mid-tier CPU and at least 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview The GeForce GTX 2050 Ti is a rumoured Nvidia lower-end Turing graphics card that will be announced in 2019. It is competing against AMDs more affordable gaming cards. Architecture The Turing Architecture aims for 30-50% as much performance as the previous-gen Pascal Architecture. GPU It equips a GPU codenamed GT107 which has [xxx] SM activated and [xxx] Shader Processing Units, [xxx] TMUs and [xxx] ROPs. The central unit runs at [xxx]MHz and goes up to [xxx]MHz when the Boost Clock is triggered in game. Memory The GPU accesses a 4GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5 through a 128-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock Operates at 3504MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 75W, it relies entirely on the PCI Slot for power, meaning no extra connectors are required. Performance The GTX 2050 Ti will enable mid-level graphics performance on modern AAA 2019 released games. Although there will be variations on this frame rate we expect this card to deliver around 55+ FPS on medium graphics settings at a 1080p screen resolution. Comparatively, this card will be faster than the performance of the outgoing GTX 1050 Ti System Suggestions GeForce GTX 2050 Ti is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080. We recommend a modern CPU like the i5-7500 and 12GB of RAM for minimal system bottleneck. | |||
