Radeon RX 550X vs GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop beats the Radeon RX 550X in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop 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 Ti Laptop 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.

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.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop is better than the Radeon RX 550X.
