In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT MSI Gaming 6GB are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 2050.
The GeForce GTX 2050 has a 169 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX 5600 XT, but the RX 5600 XT has 104 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce GTX 2050. As a result, the RX 5600 XT exhibits a 116.4 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GeForce GTX 2050. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GeForce GTX 2050 has a 169 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX 5600 XT, but the RX 5600 XT has 32 more Render Output Units than the GeForce GTX 2050. As a result, the RX 5600 XT exhibits a 32.5 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the GeForce GTX 2050. 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 GeForce GTX 2050, 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 GeForce GTX 2050 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 GeForce GTX 2050, 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 GeForce GTX 2050, which means that the memory performance of the RX 5600 XT is massively better than the GeForce GTX 2050.
The Radeon RX 5600 XT MSI Gaming 6GB has 2304 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 2050 has 640. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 5600 XT is 2396 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce GTX 2050 is 931. The RX 5600 XT having 1465 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 GeForce GTX 2050.
The RX 5600 XT transistor size technology is 7 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GeForce GTX 2050. This means that the RX 5600 XT is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce GTX 2050.
The Radeon RX 5600 XT MSI Gaming 6GB requires 150 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 2050 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 GeForce GTX 2050. The RX 5600 XT requires 75 Watts more than the GeForce GTX 2050 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 GeForce GTX 2050.

| 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 is an expect Nvidia low-end graphics card due to launch in 2019. The GTX 2050 is designed to compete against AMD's more affordable gaming cards such as the RX 550 and the RX 560, and expected to replace the outgoing GTX 1050. Architecture The Turing Architecture aims for 30-50% as much performance as the previous-gen Turing Architecture. GPU It equips a GPU Codenamed Turing T107-400 which has [TBA] SM activated and thus [TBA] Shader Processing Units, [TBA] TMUs and [TBA] ROPs. The central unit runs at [TBA]MHz and goes up to [TBA]MHz with the Boost Clock. 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 will enable low to mid-level graphics performance on modern AAA 2018 released games. Although there will be variations on this frame rate we expect this card to deliver around 50+ FPS on medium graphics settings at a 1080p screen resolution. Comparatively, this card will have slightly faster performance than the GTX 1050 Ti. System Suggestions The GeForce GTX 2050 is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080, so our recommendation would be to use 1600x900 in order to get the most out of your settings. We recommend a high-end processor such as the i5-7500 and 8GB of RAM for optimal performance. | |||
