RTX 4050 Laptop gaming performance
It depends: the RTX 4050 Laptop runs 126 of 210 games at 60+ FPS on 1080p High in our estimates. Estimated at about 100 W, a typical power limit (TGP) for this chip in gaming laptops.
Updated
The RTX 4050 Laptop has 6 GB of video memory on a narrow 96-bit bus. In new games with High or Ultra textures it can run short and fall behind chips with 8 GB; the RTX 3060 Laptop also has 6 GB but more memory bandwidth, so it pulls ahead at Ultra and 1440p.
Power limit (TGP): why two RTX 4050 Laptop laptops differ
Laptop makers can set the RTX 4050 Laptop anywhere from 35 W to 140 W. Our estimates assume about 100 W. Near 35 W (thin laptops) expect about 29% fewer FPS; at 140 W about 2% more.
Check the TGP in the laptop's spec sheet or in reviews before you buy. How to check your laptop's gaming specs.

RTX 4050 Laptop: estimated FPS in every game
Estimated FPS on High settings with the chip at about 100 W and a fast processor (Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 32 GB RAM), so the graphics chip sets the FPS. Laptop processors are often slower, especially in thin laptops. The 1080p range shows the lowest to the highest power limit (35–140 W).
4K results for cards with 8 GB or less VRAM are often limited by video memory.
