Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RTX 3070 Ti Max-Q makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RTX 4050 Mobile by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. For everyone else, especially those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 4050 Mobile could be the better value choice in the short term. Upgrading from RTX 4050 Mobile to RTX 3070 Ti 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. The price/performance ratio is much better for RTX 4050 Mobile .
