Performance
GPU clock speed
1455 MHz
The clock speed of the graphics processing unit (GPU).
GPU turbo
1755 MHz
When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
pixel rate
56.16 GPixel/s
The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
floating-point performance
8.99 TFLOPS
Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.
texture rate
140.4 GTexels/s
The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
GPU memory speed
2000 MHz
The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.
shading units
2560
Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image.
TMUs take textures and map them to the geometry of a 3D scene. More TMUs will typically mean that texture information is processed faster.
The ROPs are responsible for some of the final steps of the rendering process, writing the final pixel data to memory and carrying out other tasks such as anti-aliasing to improve the look of graphics.
Memory
effective memory speed
16000 MHz
The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory. Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps.
maximum memory bandwidth
192 GB/s
This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
VRAM
6GB
VRAM (video RAM) is the dedicated memory of a graphics card. More VRAM generally allows you to run games at higher settings, especially for things like texture resolution.
GDDR version
GDDR6
Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.
memory bus width
96-bit
A wider bus width means that it can carry more data per cycle. It is an important factor of memory performance, and therefore the general performance of the graphics card.
Supports ECC memory
✔Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop
Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.
Features
DirectX version
DirectX 12 Ultimate
DirectX is used in video games, with newer versions supporting better graphics and features. The latest version is DirectX 12 Ultimate, which includes support for ray tracing, mesh shaders, and variable rate shading (VRS).
OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.
Supports multi-display technology
✔Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop
The graphics card supports multi-display technology. This allows you to configure multiple monitors in order to create a more immersive gaming experience, such as having a wider field of view.
load GPU temperature
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A lower load temperature means that the card produces less heat and its cooling system performs better.
supports ray tracing
✔Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop
Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in games.
Supports 3D
✔Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop
Allows you to view in 3D (if you have a 3D display and glasses).
supports DLSS
✔Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an upscaling technology powered by AI. It allows the graphics card to render games at a lower resolution and upscale them to a higher resolution with near-native visual quality and increased performance. DLSS is only available on select games.
AMD SAM / Intel Resizable BAR
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
AMD's Smart Access Memory (SAM) and Intel's Resizable BAR are two technologies that allow the CPU to have faster access to the graphics card, which can give a performance boost. It requires a compatible motherboard, graphics card, and CPU.
Ports
General info
The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.
number of transistors
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.
warranty period
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
When covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction. Note: This may vary by region.
width
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
height
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
Miscellaneous
DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.

I bought an Acer Nitro 5 with an i7-12650h and this GPU recently and i must say that whatever bad things people say about it, they haven't experienced it. This GPU is quite powerful, i am able to run all of the games i play at constant 144FPS (the maximum framerate this screen can do). Amazing.

Got a Dell G15 with a RTX 4050 and a i5 13450HX. This GPU is able to keep up with a overclocked 10 core cpu just fine! Every single game will run perfectly fine. You may have to dial back to medium settings or use DLSS (which is amazing) in some more demanding games though. I can easily max out beamng on ultra settings at about 60fps, or 120fps on high. Minecraft will have frames in the hundreds or even THOUSANDS regardless if you are using massive modpacks and RTX shaders. Don't even worry about any game released more than 5 years ago (or modern indie games) because this card will run them maxed out with fps in the hundreds. There is only ONE issue however, the VRAM. 6GB of vram is fine, but this card could easily max some games like Forza Horizon 5 if it had 8GB of vram. It's essentially a 3060 but with far better DLSS implementation and costs about the same. You wont be maxing out games like Cyberpunk or The last of us (at least not without DLSS) but you'll be able to play them in lower settings very well. Keep in mind that these numbers are from the max 140W varient though.
