GeForce GTX 950 vs RTX A5000 Laptop benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the RTX A5000 Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 950 in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 950 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. Despite this, the RTX A5000 Laptop has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 950 has a significantly lower TDP at 90 W when compared to the RTX A5000 Laptop at 140 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the RTX A5000 Laptop is better than the GeForce GTX 950.
