GeForce GTX 690 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 690 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop 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. In addition, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop over the GeForce GTX 690.
