GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce GT 1030 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1050 GPU is faster than the GeForce GT 1030 in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1050 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 GT 1030 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.

In addition, the GeForce GT 1030 has a significantly lower TDP at 30 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1050 at 75 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 GeForce GTX 1050 is better than the GeForce GT 1030.
