GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 4060 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4060 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4060 has a significantly 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 RTX 4060 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4060 at 200 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 4060 is better than the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q.
