GeForce GTX 1050 vs RTX A500 Laptop specs and performance

For gaming, the RTX A500 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1050 in our tests.

The GeForce GTX 1050 has a significantly 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 RTX A500 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.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the RTX A500 Laptop is faster than the GeForce GTX 1050.
