AMD Radeon RX 7700S vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop

AMD Radeon RX 7700S

The AMD Radeon RX 7700S is a mobile upper mid-range graphics card based on the Navi 33 chip (RDNA 3 architecture) manufactured in 6nm. It features 2,048 cores (32 CUs - compute units) and 8 GB of fast GDDR6 graphics memory connected with a 128 Bit memory bus. The chip also includes 32 MB Infinity Cache. The clock speed of the cores will depend on the laptop according to AMD. The specified game clock speed is 2200 MHz (most likely at 100 W TGP). The 7700S is the power efficient version of the RX 7600M XT with slightly reduced clock speeds (-100 MHz) and TDP (-20W max).

AMD compares the performance to the old Radeon RX 6700S, that is easily beaten by the 7700S. As the theoretical performance is only slightly below the 7600M XT (at 100W TGP), the 7700S should also beat the RTX 3060 desktop GPU. Although the Raytracing performance did increase for RDNA 3, the GeForce GPUs are still faster in this regard.

The Navi 33 chip is manufactured at TSMC in the current 6nm process (versus 4nm of Nvidia RTX 4000 series). The power consumption (TGP) is specified at 75 to 100 Watt.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop is a dedicated graphics card from the Blackwell family for laptops, which was presented by Team Green in June 2025. It uses the GB207 chip.

Like the RTX 4050 Laptop GPU, the GPU offers 2,560 unified shaders (CUDA cores) combined with a 128-bit memory bus for 8 GB GDDR7 graphics memory.

Other features of the GPU include native 5th generation ray tracing cores, PCIe 5 support, DisplayPort 2.1a and 440 TOPS AI performance (thanks to the built-in Tensor cores).

The performance without DLSS frame generation should be similar to the old RTX 4060 Laptop GPU laptop GPU. The RTX 5060 is 21 - 22% faster at 115 W (incl. Dynamic Boost) in 3DMark tests (via Videocardz). As usual, performance is heavily dependent on power consumption (TGP) and cooling. Therefore, there will also be significantly slower models in laptops.

The chip is produced at TSMC using the 4nm process (4N). The power consumption (TGP) is specified at 35-100 watts (115 watts incl. Dynamic Boost 2.0).
