GeForce GTX 950 vs GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 950 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4050 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 4050 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.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 950 at 90 W. 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 4050 Laptop is faster than the GeForce GTX 950.
