NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q vs AMD Radeon RX 6450M

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q

► remove from comparison NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q (for laptops, GN20-E3, Max-Q) is the former name for a RTX 3060 Laptop GPU with Max-Q technologies. In previous generations, the Max-Q name was used for low power versions. With the RTX 3000 series, every TGP-version can now use Max-Q technologies and all GPUs are called RTX 3060 Laptop GPU (60 - 115W).

AMD Radeon RX 6450M

► remove from comparison AMD Radeon RX 6450M

The AMD Radeon RX 6450M is a mobile entry-level graphics card based on the Navi 24 chip (RDNA 2  architecture) manufactured in the modern 6nm process. It features 768 cores (12 CUs - compute units) and 4 GB of fast GDDR6 graphics memory connected with a small 64 Bit memory bus. The chip also includes 16 MB Infinity Cache. The game clock speed is specified at 2220 MHz. 

The performance should be slightly better than the old RX 6300M (slower clocked, but higher memory bandwidth) and therefore positioned in the entry level. This means, the GPU is best suited for 1080p gaming in medium to high detail settings.

The Navi 24 chip is manufactured at TSMC in the modern 6nm process and the 6450M can be configured from 25 - 50 Watt TGP.
