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

✅+43.1% higher PassMark G3D performance.
✅Costs $350 less on MSRP ($149 MSRP vs $499 MSRP).
✅Delivers 379.1% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 52.8 vs 11.0 G3D/$ ($149 MSRP vs $499 MSRP).
✅Radeon Pro WX 5100 is already obsolete for modern gaming, so GeForce GTX 1650 is the less risky modern option long term.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon Pro WX 5100 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.
❌32.4% longer card at 229mm vs 173mm.

Radeon Pro WX 5100

2016

Why buy it

✅4.3% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅97.6% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 4 GB).
✅Measures 173mm instead of 229mm, a 56mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

❌Lower PassMark G3D performance (5,500 vs 7,869).
❌2016 hardware with 8 GB 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 11.0 vs 52.8 G3D/$ ($499 MSRP vs $149 MSRP).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Radeon Pro WX 5100 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 4.3% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce GTX 1650 instead at 7,869 vs 5,500, 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?

GeForce GTX 1650 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 12nm process instead of 14nm and a newer 2019 generation instead of 2016. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

GeForce GTX 1650 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $350 cheaper on MSRP at $149 vs $499, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 379.1% (52.8 vs 11.0), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. Radeon Pro WX 5100 still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
