GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop 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. In addition, the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, both the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q and the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop have an identical TDP. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop over the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q.
