GeForce GTX 1650 (Mobile) vs GRID P40-24Q Performance Spectrum

About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

GeForce GTX 1650 (Mobile) vs GRID P40-24Q: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce GTX 1650 (Mobile)

2020

Why buy it

  • GRID P40-24Q is already legacy-tier future-proofing, so GeForce GTX 1650 (Mobile) is the less risky modern option long term.
  • Draws 50W instead of 225W, a 175W reduction.
  • More future proof: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Older hardware, 4 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 1.2 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $5,699 MSRP).

GRID P40-24Q

2015

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 1.2 vs 0 G3D/$ ($5,699 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • 2015 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 350% higher power demand at 225W vs 50W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GRID P40-24Q is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 1.3% in PassMark G3D (7,057 vs 6,968), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce GTX 1650 (Mobile) is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 12nm process instead of 28nm and a newer 2020 generation instead of 2015. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GRID P40-24Q makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, GRID P40-24Q is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce GTX 1650 (Mobile) has the stronger long-term case.
