Radeon RX Vega 64 vs GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX Vega 64 vs GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop
The Radeon RX Vega 64 is dramatically faster, around 40% ahead of the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX Vega 64 is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop starts at $136,768 JPY against $140,442 JPY for the Radeon RX Vega 64. The Radeon RX Vega 64 still sits about $139,943 JPY above its $499 JPY MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop draws just 80W versus 295W for the Radeon RX Vega 64, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Ampere architecture on a Samsung 8nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 8GB against 4GB, the Radeon RX Vega 64 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop's 4GB can fall short.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop is roughly 4 years newer than the Radeon RX Vega 64 (Ampere vs GCN 5.0 (Vega)), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX Vega 64 offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop or Radeon RX Vega 64?
The Radeon RX Vega 64 is the faster card by about 40%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.
