GeForce RTX 3050 vs GeForce GTX 1630 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3050 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1630 in gaming.

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

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1630 has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3050 at 130 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 3050 is faster than the GeForce GTX 1630.
