GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q vs GeForce GTX 880M specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 880M in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 880M at 122 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q is faster than the GeForce GTX 880M.
