Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RTX 4050 Max-Q makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than Graphics 512SP Mobile by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. Upgrading from Graphics 512SP Mobile to RTX 4050 Max-Q is not recommended as it is less than 30% of improvement in performance. In general, a reasonable upgrade is between 30% and 50% or more to justify the purchase of new hardware.
