Radeon RX 5500M vs GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 5500M in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 5500M 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 Radeon RX 5500M 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop is faster than the Radeon RX 5500M.
