GeForce RTX 3050 vs GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop beats the GeForce RTX 3050 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 3050 has a significantly 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 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 50 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 5070 Laptop is faster than the GeForce RTX 3050.
