3D Mark TimePy results.
The MX550, underlining the above information, has scored 7888 points in Time Spy CPU and 2 510 points in the graphics test. The result of the RTX 2050 series shows a CPU score of 7.779 points and a graphics score of 3 369 points. We don’t know anything about the notebooks used for the RTX 2050 and MX 550. Still, these results are very low and are similar to Nvidia’s entry-level products from a year ago. For comparison, the upcoming GTX 1650 mobile GPU, which introduced Nvidia, surpassed 3634 points in Time Spy’s benchmark. That makes it much faster than the new RTX 2050 at least in Time Spy. It’s much slower than the new mobile RTX 3050 that scores 468 points in the same test. If these results indicate real-time gaming performance, then the new GTX 2050 can be compared to a GTX 1650 using RT cores and DLSS support on the GPU. The MX570 can perform the same level, but with half the VRAM we don’t expect it to be as fast in new games. If you do not consider ray tracing, the capability to play in respectable frame rates and reasonable memory bandwidth requires a decent amount of CPU power. The RTX 3050 has experienced a rash of RT effects due to its large 4GB frame buffer. Thus the RTX 2050 with its more narrow and slower 64-bit memory bus will probably inevitably turn into a worse version. It’s not clear if these low-end GPUs are real demand. It’s probably more than a feature checkbox than real usable RT/DLSS capabilities, but in order to do what’s possible, we will lose judgments until laptops with GPUs start shipping and we will test them ourselves. They also have to compete against the current AMD GPUs, which is probably the real reason for their existence.
