GeForce GTX 1650 (Mobile) vs RadeonT 780M: 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

  • 31.0% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Trade-offs

  • Older hardware, 4 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • 233.3% higher power demand at 50W vs 15W.

RadeonT 780M

2024

Why buy it

  • Better long-term bet: RDNA 3.0 (2022−2026) on 4nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
  • Draws 15W instead of 50W, a 35W reduction.
  • More future proof: RDNA 3.0 (2022−2026) on 4nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce GTX 1650 (Mobile) across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce GTX 1650 (Mobile) is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 31.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward RadeonT 780M instead at 7,098 vs 6,968, so for this question the real-game FPS result matters more than the synthetic split.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
RadeonT 780M is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 4nm process instead of 12nm, 12 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2024 generation instead of 2020. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
RadeonT 780M makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. GeForce GTX 1650 (Mobile) still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
