Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile scores 10,080 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Mid-Range tier as a Aging generation graphics card. It is built on the Ampere (2020−2025) architecture (codename: GA106), manufactured on a 8 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 2560 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 80 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 48 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 5.299 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1035 MHz from a base of 735 MHz.
