GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce MX250 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1050 GPU is faster than the GeForce MX250 in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 1050 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 GTX 1050 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.

In addition, the GeForce MX250 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1050 over the GeForce MX250.
