GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop vs GeForce 940MX comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce 940MX in our tests.

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. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce 940MX has a significantly lower TDP at 23 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop over the GeForce 940MX.
