GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Laptop GPU: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Laptop GPU is the catalog's second record for the RTX 3050 family — same GA107 silicon and core count as the standard card, paired with 6GB of memory and a 60W power budget instead of 75W. This guide covers its 29 benchmarked games at 1080p (13 with medium data) and how the two records actually differ.

Where the GeForce RTX 3050 6GB sits in 2026

This record scores 61.9 and ranks 72nd of 341 — two slots below the standard RTX 3050's 63.1. The separation is real but narrow, and its direction is worth understanding: the 6GB variant trades a lower power budget (60W versus 75W) for more memory headroom. In the ranked table it sits just under the RTX 500 Ada Generation (62.6) and just above the Quadro RTX 4000 Max-Q (61.8), Radeon RX 7600S (61.6) and the Vega Frontier Edition record (61.5) — top-fifth territory either way.

What the chip brings

The shared fundamentals are identical to the standard card: Ampere GA107, 2048 CUDA cores with RT and tensor cores (DLSS) and resizable BAR support, 8nm process. The two meaningful deltas are in the record's own columns: 6GB of GDDR6 instead of 4, and a 60W class rating instead of 75. The shared public benchmarks read identically — PassMark 11878, Time Spy 4497, Fire Strike 11949 — while the Vulkan compute suite shows the practical separation: 57785 here versus 62164 for the higher-wattage record, roughly a 7 percent giveback for the tighter envelope.

FPS in games at 1080p

The 29-game table is identical to the standard 3050's — the same family measurements apply across both records: Counter-Strike 2 at 170 fps, Valorant at 150, DOTA 2 at 118, Fortnite at 110, F1 2021 at 105 (127 on medium), Battlefield 5 at 93, Forza Horizon 4 at 90, Forza Horizon 5 at 87, The Witcher 3 at 81, Far Cry 5 at 68 (76), Cyberpunk 2077 at 66 on high, Baldur's Gate 3 at 45 (50), Metro Exodus at 49 and the Resident Evil 4 remake at 50. Where the records genuinely diverge in practice is texture-heavy scenarios: the extra 2GB of buffer absorbs high-resolution texture packs that force the 4GB card into settings compromises.

Laptops that carry it

The roster is the same 230-model family as the standard RTX 3050 — the name-matching treats the variants as one fleet: HP's Victus 15 ($1256), Acer's Nitro V and Nitro Lite lines ($1440), ASUS TUF Gaming F16 ($1440), Lenovo's LOQ ($1440), the OMEN 16 Slim ($1665), Alienware 16 Aurora ($2220) and HP's ProBook 4 and EliteBook 6 G1i business machines ($1144). Fleet medians match the standard record (best-GPU 72.7, gaming index 72, USComp score 78.5) — as expected for a shared roster.

Bottom line

Read this page as the fine print on the RTX 3050 family rather than a different card: same architecture, same core count, same measured table, with the choice reduced to memory versus power. If a listing's 3050 runs in a thinner chassis at 60W, expect the few-percent giveback the compute suites show and value the extra 2GB accordingly — it is the difference between comfortable and compromised in the texture-heaviest modern titles. Either variant delivers the honest deal the 3050 class represents: current-generation features at 1080p, at the market's most competitive prices.
