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

GeForce GTX 1650

2019

Why buy it

  • 6846.9% more average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Costs $150 less on MSRP ($149 MSRP vs $299 MSRP).
  • Delivers 225483% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 52.8 vs 0.0 G3D/$ ($149 MSRP vs $299 MSRP).
  • 700% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 512 MB).
  • GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE is already obsolete for modern gaming, so GeForce GTX 1650 is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

  • Older hardware, 4 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.

GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE

2010

Why buy it

  • Measures 216mm instead of 229mm, a 13mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs
