GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q in our tests.

The GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. Despite this, the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q has a slightly lower TDP at 65 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q is better than the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q.
