RX 5600 XT vs RTX 3050

The ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3050 8GB is based on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (Ampere) and has 8 GB GDDR6 graphics memory with a bandwidth of 224 GB/s. The 2560 shader units clock with a maximum of 1.81 GHz which results in an FP32 processing power of 9.25 TFLOPS.

The MSI Radeon RX 5600 XT Gaming M is based on the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (RDNA 1) and has 6 GB GDDR6 graphics memory with a bandwidth of 336 GB/s. The 2304 shader units have a maximum clock rate of 1.56 GHz and achieve an FP32 computing power of 7.20 TFLOPS.

GPU

The GPU core data includes the number of execution units and texture shaders. Both have a major impact on the computing power of a graphics card.

Memory

A large graphics memory is important to process large and detailed textures quickly, even in high resolutions. The speed of the memory and the resulting memory bandwidth are also important for this.

Clock Speeds

The clock frequency of a graphics card determines the speed in connection with the graphics architecture. New manufacturing processes are making ever higher clock frequencies possible, whereby attention must also be paid to the energy consumption of the graphics card, as this also depends to a large extent on the clock frequency.

Thermal Design

The TDP defines the maximum power consumption of a graphics card. The ventilation of the computer and the performance of the power supply are based on the TDP and should be optimized for it.

Cooler & Fans

The cooler type as well as the number and size of the fans of a graphics card result in its volume. A loud graphics card can easily be perceived as annoying. Generally, larger fans are better because they can spin slower to move the same volume of air as opposed to smaller fans.

Connectivity

In the connectivity category, we recorded the number of ports on a graphics card. You can also find out here the maximum number of screens you can connect to the graphics card.

Featureset

Here we show you which functions a graphics card has. We've also included ray tracing support for true simulation of light rays and shadows.

Supported Video Codecs

The support and acceleration of certain video codecs directly in the graphics card reduces the load when playing or creating videos. This can have a positive impact on the lower energy consumption and less waste heat from the graphics card.

Dimensions

With the exact dimensions of a graphics card you can check whether it fits into your computer case. We also show you the PCI Express standard that the graphics card supports at most.

Additional data

In addition to data such as the release date and the price when the graphics card is released, we usually show you a link to the data sheet for the graphics card directly from the manufacturer.

Benchmark results

3DMark is a benchmark that mainly measures the graphics card. As in almost every graphics card benchmark, however, the system's processor has an effect on the result. We therefore use a fast processor in order not to limit the graphics card during the test.

Battlefield 5 is a visually impressive game. It uses the third version of the "Frostbite Game Engine" developed by the manufacturer DICE. The engine is available for Windows, PS4, PS5, XBox One or XBox Series X. Many physics-based calculations are carried out directly in the game engine, which results in very realistic calculations. Due to its current features, Battlefield 5 is very suitable as a graphics card benchmark.

Test environment and settings: DirectX 12 API with max. Details, tested under Windows 10.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is based on a modified version of the Crystal Dynamics Foundation engine. This engine was already used in the predecessor Rise of the Tomb Raider. The foundation engine supports a realistic representation of water and snow and shows the game characters detailed. The display of hair is also very realistic thanks to the support of TressFX (AMD) or HairWorks (NVIDIA).

Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5) is based on the RAGE Engine and was developed by Rockstar North. Rockstar had already released the open-world game for the Xbox and Playstation consoles at the end of 2013, and the PC version followed in spring 2015.

Ethash is the Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm used for the crypto currency Ethereum. Ethash is based on the Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm, but has been significantly changed in some places. For example, the memory requirement (GPU memory) was significantly increased in order to make it more difficult or even to prevent the calculation of the algorithm on so-called ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits). Our benchmark results are based on a slight overclocking of the graphics card and the GPU memory. The hashrates were achieved under Hive OS with moderate overclocking settings.

The crypto currency Ergo is based on the Autolykos algorithm, which was updated in version 2 (Autolykos 2) in early 2021. The Autolykos 2 algorithm is based on the PoW concept and can be efficiently calculated by a graphics card. When calculating Ergo Coins, ASICs have no efficiency advantage over modern graphics cards, which should make Ergo attractive for as many miners as possible. The Ergo protocol is based on the blockchain and has been optimized for a very long shelf life. The hashrates were achieved under Hive OS with moderate overclocking settings.

The KawPoW algorithm has been used with the crypto currency Ravencoin since May 2020. Previously, Ravencoin used ProgPoW (X16R and X16Rv2). KawPoW is a Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm and is calculated the fastest with a modern graphics card. KawPoW is based on a changing algorithm (X15 and SHA51) and can therefore not be calculated via ASIC. The developers want to protect Ravencoin from large mining farms that often use ASICs. In addition to Ravencoin, other cryptocurrencies are based on KawPoW, including Hilux and Gravium. The hashrates were achieved under Hive OS with moderate overclocking settings.

The crypto currency VertCoin (VTC) is calculated with the new Verthash algorithm since January 2021. This is a very memory-intensive PoW algorithm that is difficult to calculate with an ASIC. The developers have set themselves the goal that VertCoin should be calculated via a graphics card and not with so-called ASICs. These are increasingly used in large mining farms. Verthash currently requires a graphics card with at least 2 GB of memory. The hashrates were achieved under Hive OS with moderate overclocking settings.
