Power consumption
Rated TDP/TGP: 50 W. Manufacturer-recommended PSU: n/a (laptop). Use the calculator for a full-system estimate.
Pros & cons
- Supports upscaling (DLSS) for extra headroom at higher resolutions
- Efficient — lower power draw, easier to cool and pair with a smaller PSU
- 4.0GB VRAM can become tight at 1440p/4K with texture-heavy titles
- Limited ray tracing performance — expect a bigger hit turning RT on
- Best suited to 1080p at Medium/High rather than 1440p or 4K
Frequently asked questions
It depends entirely on the game, resolution, settings and the CPU it's paired with — there is no single answer. Use the calculator above to get an estimate for your exact combination, or see the sample results table for a few reference points.
Based on its relative performance index (14/100), we'd suggest 1080p (Medium/Low) as the most comfortable target for this GPU at High/Ultra settings.
Yes — its ray tracing support tier is rated 'basic' in our catalog, meaning a moderate to significant frame rate cost when RT is enabled, partly offset by upscaling if supported.
For a balanced build, CPUs like AMD Ryzen 3 3350U, AMD Ryzen 3 3300U tend to match this GPU's performance tier well — see the recommended CPUs panel for links.
