GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon PRO W7500: 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

  • Costs $280 less on MSRP ($149 MSRP vs $429 MSRP).
  • Delivers 70.4% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 52.8 vs 31.0 G3D/$ ($149 MSRP vs $429 MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon PRO W7500 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 4 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Older hardware, 4 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.

Radeon PRO W7500

2023

Why buy it

  • 74.9% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 4 GB).
  • Better long-term bet: RDNA 3.0 (2022−2026) on 6nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
  • Measures 216mm instead of 229mm, a 13mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon PRO W7500 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 74.9% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 69% in PassMark G3D (13,298 vs 7,869), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon PRO W7500 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 8 GB vs 4 GB of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 6nm process instead of 12nm, and 28 vs 0 ray-tracing units. 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 $280 cheaper on MSRP at $149 vs $429, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 70.4% (52.8 vs 31.0), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, GeForce GTX 1650 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and lighter 1440p headroom, Radeon PRO W7500 has the stronger long-term case.
