GeForce GTX 950M vs GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 950M in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop 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 RTX 3050 Ti Laptop also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop over the GeForce GTX 950M.
