Radeon RX 560X vs GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 560X in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 3050 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 Laptop also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, both the Radeon RX 560X and the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop have an identical TDP. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop over the Radeon RX 560X.
