GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop in our tests.

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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q over the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop.
