GeForce GTX 1650 vs GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 1650 in gaming performance.

The GeForce GTX 1650 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 GTX 1650 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, both the GeForce GTX 1650 and the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop have an identical TDP. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop is faster than the GeForce GTX 1650.
