GeForce RTX 3050 vs GeForce MX330 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3050 GPU is faster than the GeForce MX330 in gaming.

The GeForce RTX 3050 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 RTX 3050 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, the GeForce MX330 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3050 at 130 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 3050 is faster than the GeForce MX330.
