GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop vs GeForce GTX 1630 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 1630 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1630 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 GTX 1630 also 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, both the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop and the GeForce GTX 1630 have an identical TDP. 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 GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop is better than the GeForce GTX 1630.
