GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop vs Radeon Vega 6 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop beats the Radeon Vega 6 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop has a significantly 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 Radeon Vega 6 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 Radeon Vega 6 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop at 75 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop over the Radeon Vega 6.
