are normal gpu compared to "ti" versions worth the buck in laptops?

Ti is not something added to the original one, it's outright a different GPU. Dont compare them like K or non K on Intel CPUs

What?

This has nothing to do with the question asked though?
Op only asked if a ti gpu was faster enough for the price hike to be worth it....

Plus, technically a ti gpu might be the same silicon, but with more functioning parts/less disabled stuff, think 3080 vs 3080ti, both have the same ga102 die, with less disabled

Bassically the same as a locked vs unlocked cpu, the silicon is the same, but the unlocked has functioning stuff to chnage the multiplier that a locked doesnt

Well it depends what a few extra frames is worth to you personally.

 

I got a 2060 Super over the cheaper 2060 because it has 256-bit memory compared to 192-bit and also a slight increase in cuda cores but I couldn't afford a 2070 etc (well I could if I didn't buy a NVMe) but a 2060 Super is not much different from a 2070 so probably not worth it for me. Anyway a Ti gives a few more frames than a non Ti, what that is worth to you I really can't say.

Problem is it's not even a price hike, 3050Ti is cheaper than 3050 on my screen

so I couldnt comment on this properly. What I can tell him is that Ti does not relate to extra features, just performance so benchmarks will tell all there is to know.

More performance and more features are not the same, I see you're already falling into that hole. How it's done isnt so important.

smh.

You couldve just said that answering OPs question, rather than saying something that has n othing to do with the question

3050 Ti has more cuda, rt and tensor cores and runs at higher stock frequency.

They are both still 1080p chips attthe entry level but it seems like the Ti will definitely offer you higher FPS in games.

Fair comment with 3080 but with 3060 and 3070 you actually get different memory with the Ti variants (GDDR6X vs GDDR6) however that's not the case with the 3050 where you just get more cores and higher frequencies

[Bobbysixjp]

Remember that a laptop GPU with the same name as a desktop GPU is often vastly different in performance. For example a laptop 3080 is sometimes on par with a desktop 3070. Mainly because of power and thermal limitations. 
My advice would be to go with the best GPU that you can afford especially if you plan to keep it for a while (of course you cannot upgrade the components in a laptop like you can in a desktop).

As others have stated the Ti version usually has more cuda cores or more or faster RAM.

So, can the regular ones(without the "ti" ones) be unlocked and overclocked?

[Dhiman003]

Also, thankyou all for taking out time and replying.

Yeah, TI doesn't mean it can overclock and the regular ones can't. Just means that it's clocked a little faster out of the gate and might have extra VRAM.
