GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon HD 4770: 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

2019

Why buy it

  • 615.2% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 533.3% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 52.8 vs 8.3 G3D/$ ($149 MSRP vs $109 MSRP).
  • 700% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 512 MB).
  • Radeon HD 4770 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.
  • 12.8% longer card at 229mm vs 203mm.

Radeon HD 4770

2009

Why buy it

  • Costs $40 less on MSRP ($109 MSRP vs $149 MSRP).
  • Measures 203mm instead of 229mm, a 26mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce GTX 1650 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2009 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 8.3 vs 52.8 G3D/$ ($109 MSRP vs $149 MSRP).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce GTX 1650 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 615.2% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 765.7% in PassMark G3D (7,869 vs 909), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce GTX 1650 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 4 GB vs 512 MB of VRAM, a 12nm process instead of 40nm, and a newer 2019 generation instead of 2009. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce GTX 1650 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $40 more expensive on MSRP at $149 vs $109, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 533.3% (52.8 vs 8.3), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
