GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q vs Radeon RX 6900 XT benchmarks

For gaming, the Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q in our tests.

The Radeon RX 6900 XT has a significantly 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 Radeon RX 6900 XT also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Radeon RX 6900 XT has significantly more memory with 16 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Radeon RX 6900 XT at 300 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 6900 XT is better than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q.
