Radeon R7 430 vs GeForce RTX 3050 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3050 GPU is faster than the Radeon R7 430 in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 3050 has a significantly 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 significantly 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 Radeon R7 430 has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3050 at 130 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3050 is better than the Radeon R7 430.
