AMD Radeon RX 5300M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only direct benchmark comparison recorded in the database is the Geekbench OpenCL test, and the result is decisively one-sided. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 84,171 points, while the AMD Radeon RX 5300M scores 36,529 points. That is a delta of 130.4% in favor of the NVIDIA part, meaning the RTX 5050 Mobile more than doubles the AMD GPU's raw compute output in this OpenCL workload.

Putting that number in context, the RTX 5050 Mobile's average benchmark score of 43,268 places it at the 83rd percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are a cluster of desktop-class cards: the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB at 43,262 (delta 0%), the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 at 43,301 (delta -0.1%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER at 43,223 (delta 0.1%), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile at 43,667 (delta -0.9%). Essentially, the RTX 5050 Mobile sits in a dead heat with these four cards, all within 1% of each other. The data shows this mobile chip punches in the same weight class as a desktop RTX 4070 SUPER, which is remarkable for a 50W IGP solution.

The RX 5300M, by contrast, averages 36,529 in the database, landing at the 80th percentile. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X at 36,530 (delta 0%), the NVIDIA T1000 at 36,289 (delta 0.7%), the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 at 37,157 (delta -1.7%), and the AMD Radeon Pro Duo at 35,860 (delta 1.9%). The RX 5300M is competitive with those older or lower-tier cards, but it is nowhere near the RTX 5050 Mobile's performance tier.

To be direct: the RTX 5050 Mobile wins the only head-to-head test the database records, and it wins by a staggering margin. The RX 5300M does not have a single benchmark win in this comparison. The 130.4% delta in Geekbench OpenCL is not a marginal victory; it is a generational gap made visible in a single metric.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5050 Mobile wins the only shared benchmark, so on raw compute and OpenCL performance, it is the clear choice. The data shows a 130.4% lead, which translates to real-world advantages in any workload that leverages general-purpose GPU compute, such as rendering, physics simulation, or machine learning inference. The RTX 5050 Mobile also has a second recorded benchmark, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, where it scores 2,365 points. That result reinforces its capability in modern DirectX 12 gaming workloads, though the RX 5300M has no corresponding Steel Nomad score for direct comparison.

The RX 5300M's case is narrower. It does not win any benchmark in the database against the RTX 5050 Mobile. Its only recorded metric is the Geekbench OpenCL score of 36,529, which the RTX 5050 Mobile obliterates. In terms of use cases, the RX 5300M is an end-of-life product from the RDNA 1.0 generation, released in 2019. Its role is limited to older or lighter workloads where the hardware's capabilities are sufficient. The data does not support recommending it for any scenario where the RTX 5050 Mobile is an option, given the massive compute deficit.

For a practical builder, the RTX 5050 Mobile is the part to select for anything that benefits from raw GPGPU throughput or modern DX12 titles. The RX 5300M is only relevant if you are dealing with a legacy system or a specific constraint that excludes the RTX 5050 Mobile, which the benchmark results do not justify. The win count is 1-0, and the margin is overwhelming.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different design philosophies and production eras. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile uses the GB207 chip, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 16,900 million transistors on a 149 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 113.4 million per square millimeter. The AMD Radeon RX 5300M uses the Navi 14 chip, based on RDNA 1.0, also from TSMC but on a larger 7 nm process. It packs 6,400 million transistors on a slightly larger die at 158 mm², giving a transistor density of just 40.5 million per square millimeter. The density difference is stark: NVIDIA fits over 2.5 times as many transistors per area.

Memory allocation also differs substantially. The RTX 5050 Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 384.0 GB/s. The RX 5300M has only 3 GB of GDDR6 memory on a narrower 96-bit bus, with 168.0 GB/s bandwidth. That is a 128% bandwidth advantage for the NVIDIA part, which directly impacts texture streaming and high-resolution workloads.

Compute resources are similarly lopsided. The RTX 5050 Mobile has 2,560 shading units, 80 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. It also includes 20 ray tracing cores and 80 tensor cores, making it a full-featured modern GPU. The RX 5300M has fewer shading units at 1,408, but more TMUs at 88, and the same 32 ROPs. It has no dedicated ray tracing or tensor cores, as RDNA 1.0 predated those features. The pixel rate is nearly identical (48.00 GPixel/s for NVIDIA vs. 46.24 GPixel/s for AMD), but texture rate favors AMD slightly (127.2 GTexel/s vs. 120.0 GTexel/s). The FP32 throughput tells the story: 7.680 TFLOPS for the RTX 5050 Mobile versus 4.069 TFLOPS for the RX 5300M. Note the FP16 figures: the RTX 5050 Mobile runs FP16 at 7.680 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio with FP32), while the RX 5300M runs at 8.138 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio), meaning the AMD part has a relative FP16 advantage despite the lower overall compute.

Power and interface specs show the NVIDIA part is a mobile-first design. The RTX 5050 Mobile has a TDP of 50 W, uses no power connectors, and occupies an IGP slot width. The RX 5300M is a higher-power part at 85 W, also with no power connectors. The RTX 5050 Mobile uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the RX 5300M uses PCIe 4.0 x8. API support leans NVIDIA: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and Vulkan 1.4, versus DirectX 12 (12_1) and Vulkan 1.4 for the AMD. Both support OpenGL 4.6.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile outperforms the AMD Radeon RX 5300M by 130.4% in the only direct benchmark they share, and it holds a massive lead in average score. The RTX 5050 Mobile is a modern part, with a 2025 release date, active production status, 8 GB of GDDR7, ray tracing cores, tensor cores, and a smaller 5 nm process. The RX 5300M is an end-of-life product from 2019, with 3 GB of GDDR6, no RT cores, and a larger 7 nm process.

For anyone choosing between these two for a new system, the RTX 5050 Mobile is the only sensible pick based on performance. It is not a close contest: the OpenCL score alone shows the NVIDIA part doubling the AMD. The nearest rivals to the RTX 5050 Mobile are desktop and high-end mobile cards like the RTX 4070 SUPER and RTX 4090 Mobile, all within 1% of its average score, which puts it in a completely different class than the RX 5300M.

The RX 5300M is not without merit in its own tier, as its nearest rivals include the GTX TITAN X and the T1000, but those are older cards too. If you are building, upgrading, or selecting a laptop, the data says you should pick the RTX 5050 Mobile. If you are stuck with the RX 5300M for some reason, the recorded results indicate it can handle modest OpenCL workloads, but it is not a competitor to the NVIDIA part in any benchmark in this database.
