GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1050 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 maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop is faster than the GeForce GTX 1050.
