Quick Answers

So, is Intel Arc Pro B60 better than GeForce GTX 1650?

Yes. Intel Arc Pro B60 is clearly the better overall GPU here. Intel Arc Pro B60 averages 46.5% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 13,807 vs 7,869 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Intel Arc Pro B60 is a 2025 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while GeForce GTX 1650 is a 2019 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Intel Arc Pro B60 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2025 generation instead of 2019, 75.5% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 4 GB, and 100.0% more ray-tracing hardware. That leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Intel Arc Pro B60 is about 235.6% more expensive on MSRP at $500 MSRP versus $149 MSRP, and you are getting 46.5% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 75.5% higher G3D Mark. GeForce GTX 1650 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium. If you are comfortable paying the premium for the stronger gaming result, Intel Arc Pro B60 is the one to buy. If staying closer to budget matters more, GeForce GTX 1650 still makes more sense on price alone, but the performance trade-off is much harder to justify by current standards.

Is GeForce GTX 1650 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. GeForce GTX 1650 is still a strong gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. This mostly comes down to price. If you want to stay closer to $149 MSRP, it remains a strong choice; if you are comfortable paying more, Intel Arc Pro B60 earns that extra money with a clearly stronger gaming result and a more complete overall package.
