GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 1050 in gaming performance.

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.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1050 at 75 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop is faster than the GeForce GTX 1050.
