Our Verdict: Upgrading from RTX 3060 Max-Q to RTX 4050 Mobile 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. The price/performance ratio is much better for RTX 4050 Mobile .
