GeForce RTX 3060 vs RTX A4500 Laptop benchmarks

For gaming, the RTX A4500 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 3060 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 3060 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 3060 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the RTX A4500 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3060 at 170 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the RTX A4500 Laptop is faster than the GeForce RTX 3060.
