GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 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. Despite this, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop over the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.
