Radeon RX 6800M vs GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon RX 6800M graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 6800M 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 Radeon RX 6800M also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the Radeon RX 6800M at 145 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 6800M is faster than the GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop.
