Performance-wise, the 3050 should be a good replacement for laptops running the GTX 1650 Ti and even the GTX 1660. Curiously, there’s no comparison with it’s competition so it’s likely a good idea to wait for benchmarks before ordering. Laptops launching with the 3050 and 3050 Ti will ship out with support fo HDMI 2.1 output support and Dynamic Boost 2.0.
