GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti in gaming.

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 980 Ti at 250 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop is faster than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti.
