GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1050 in our tests.

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 RTX 3070 Laptop 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 GTX 1050 has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop at 115 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop over the GeForce GTX 1050.
