NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (Laptop), Gaming Benchmarks & Specs

34 FPS at 1440p across 9 games (anchored estimate) · 1080p gaming, 1440p is a stretch outside older titles

34 Avg FPS Includes estimates

Treat these as estimates. They are interpolated from our own measured results on comparable silicon, and they carry the estimate label until this card is benched. Across our 9-game suite at 1440p, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (Laptop) averages 34 FPS. The ceiling is Counter-Strike 2 at 63 FPS; the floor is Cyberpunk 2077 at 20 FPS, a 3.1x spread that tells you how engine-dependent this class of card is. In practical terms that means 1080p gaming, 1440p is a stretch outside older titles. Under load we logged a peak of 77W against the 80W rating.

The silicon

Transistors12,000 million
Die size276 mm²
Fabricated bySamsung
Transistor density43.5 million per mm²

Denser than 38% of the 76 cards we have silicon data for. Density is the clearest measure of what a process node bought: a card that gained it without growing the die got its speed from the fab rather than the architecture.
