NVIDIA GeForce MX350 vs GeForce GTX 1050 – The 1050 is 55% faster in real-life gaming

Two graphic cards with the Pascal architecture, currently the most advanced gaming GPU architecture ever created. The GTX 1050 was released in the first part of 2017, while the MX350 came out in 2020s first quarter. Both are 14 nm chips, and that lets them consume a lesser amount of power.

Unlike the GTX 1050, which has a base ТDP of 75W, the MX350 only consumes 20W of power, and this reduction in energy will save some money down the line. The difference in electricity while having the same lithography is because the MX350 is both recent and doesn’t have the amount of cores its competitor has.
