Gtx1060 vs gtx 1650: Nvidia GTX 1650 vs 1060: What’s the difference?

Nvidia GTX 1650 vs 1060: What’s the difference?

We’ve already seen how the new Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 compares to its most immediate predecessor, the GTX 1050 Ti (have a read of our GTX 1650 vs 1050 Ti article for the complete skinny), but have you ever wondered how it stacks up to today’s most popular graphics card, Nvidia’s 6GB GTX 1060?

Well, wonder no more, as I’ve put both cards head to head to find out which one can lay claim to the pointiest average frame rate graphs. How much difference does that extra 2GB of memory add to the equation? Let’s find out.

Nvidia GTX 1650 vs 1060: How we test

Just like before, I’ve run each card through my general games benchmarking suite at 1920×1080 and 2560×1440 resolutions to see how they perform across different graphics quality settings. The idea is to see what it takes to get a decent 60fps in each game, and how far each card is able to stretch itself before things get too choppy for comfort.

The games in question are Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Total War: Warhammer II, Monster Hunter: World, Final Fantasy XV (with Nvidia’s fancy HairWorks, TurfEffects, VXAO and ShadowLibs effects turned off), Forza Horizon 4, The Witcher III and Metro Exodus (albeit only on Medium settings because neither card can handle its benchmarking tool on anything more strenuous).

Paired with my Intel Core i5-8600K CPU and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance 2133MHz RAM, I’ve seen what each card can do on Ultra, High and Medium settings at 1080p, and Medium at 1440p (because realistically you’re not going to be pushing either card any higher than that), and taken an average frame rate either from their own built-in benchmarks or from my own repeated manual gameplay tests to see how they stack up against each other.

Today, I’ve got the Zotac GeForce GTX 1650 OC and Asus’ GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 9Gbps Edition. The latter, I should note, isn’t actually available to buy any more, but when it was available, it was one of the fastest GTX 1060 cards you could buy. As a result, these GTX 1060 speeds are probably among the best you can expect to see from this particular type of card. The Zotac, on the other hand, is at the lower end of the GTX 1650 price spectrum, making it more of a baseline experience than anything else.

Nvidia GTX 1650 vs 1060: 1080p performance

Starting with each card’s Ultra performance, you can see below that in most cases there’s a clear 10-15fps gap between the two cards at 1920×1080, giving the GTX 1060 a significant lead over its 16-series cousin. Admittedly, the GTX 1650 was never intended to be an Ultra quality card at this resolution, but the difference is pretty stark. While the GTX 1650 is stumbling around the low 30s in a lot of games, the GTX 1060’s general stomping ground is much higher up in the region of 50fps, often see-sawing either side of it depending on the game in question.

Indeed, the only games the GTX 1650 can really handle with any degree of competence on Ultra quality settings is Forza Horizon 4 and, to a lesser extent, Shadow of the Tomb Raider (albeit only with its basic SMAA anti-aliasing option enabled). Otherwise, it’s getting dangerously close to the wrong side of 30fps here, with the biggest casualty being Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which averaged just 29fps overall in its internal benchmarking tool.

Fortunately, both cards are much more comfortable on High quality settings, which are outlined below. While the GTX 1650 still isn’t hitting a consistent average of 60fps here, it’s jolly well doing a much better job of it here than it was on Ultra. Indeed, you’d have to be a real nick-pick not to enjoy an average of 55fps in Shadow of the Tomb Raider here, as well as 53fps in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and 54fps in The Witcher III.

That said, there are still some games where the GTX 1650 falls a bit short on High, which makes the GTX 1060’s 60fps+ speeds all the more enticing here, particularly when it comes to running Final Fantasy XV. This game remains one of the GTX 1650’s biggest hurdles at this resolution, and it struggled to get much beyond an average of 45fps even when I lowered the quality down to Medium (or Average, in the game’s parlance).

As you can see below, while the GTX 1650 is just about pushing into 60fps territory here, the GTX 1060 is able to go even further, offering average speeds of around 70fps that would be much more suitable for a high refresh rate monitor. It’s also able to make a better stab at Metro Exodus as well, which the GTX 1650 struggles with by comparison.

Still, if you don’t have a high refresh rate monitor and just have a regular 60Hz one, then it’s unlikely you’ll see a huge amount of difference between the two cards here — apart from, that is, in Final Fantasy XV and Metro Exodus. Everywhere else, you’re either getting a consistent 60fps with the GTX 1650, or are pretty damn close to it.

Nvidia GTX 1650 vs 1060: 1440p performance

The same, however, cannot be said for their Medium performance at 2560×1440. Not that that’s particularly surprising, really, given the GTX 1650 is really only intended to be a card for 1080p gaming, but I thought I’d include this graph anyway because it is just about capable of doing a bit of 1440p if you’re not so fussed about the frame rate.

Here, however, you’re looking at a similar kind of performance gap to our 1080p Ultra results, with the GTX 1060 often around 10fps in front of its newer sibling. The GTX 1060 still isn’t completely perfect on Medium at 1440p, not by a long shot. But it’s definitely able to offer a smoother gaming experience here than the GTX 1650, which once again is hovering around the 30fps mark.

Again, some people won’t have any problem with that whatsoever, and GTX 1650 cards with higher boost clock speeds than the Zotac may even be able to nudge those average speeds a couple of frames higher, too. However, the GTX 1060 still has the GTX 1650 beat at this resolution, making it once again the superior card overall.

Nvidia GTX 1650 vs 1060: Conclusion

No surprises here, then. The GTX 1060 is still a better graphics card than the GTX 1650. Still, while I was never expecting the GTX 1650 to really come out on top here, these results will hopefully be of some comfort to current GTX 1060 owners who might be worried they’re getting left behind by Nvidia’s new generation of Turing-based GTX 16-series GPUs. Rest assured, the GTX 1060 is still a fine graphics cards in its own right.

Indeed, as we saw in my GTX 1660 vs 1060 comparison piece, the GTX 1060 can even hold its own against Nvidia’s new GTX 1660 card as well. The GTX 1660 may be a tad faster overall, but unless you’re itching to get a high refresh rate monitor and make use of all those 60fps+ frames, then there’s no real need to get rid of your GTX 1060 card just yet — that is, unless you’re thinking about upgrading to our best graphics card champ, the GTX 1660 Ti, which I reckon probably does offer a decent leg-up in the old frame rate department, especially if you’re after something for better 1440p gaming. If you fall into that camp, then you should have a read of our GTX 1660 Ti vs 1060 article for more details.

The 1060 3GB has 28% more CUDA cores and is based on Nvidia’s older Pascal architecture, while the 1650 uses the newer Turing architecture.

The 1060 has higher base and boost clock speeds, but less memory and also costs more, you can find updated pricing linked in the description.

The 1060 is also available in the 6GB version which has more CUDA cores and double the memory, but we’re not looking at that version here, so if I just say 1060 without specifying the memory assume I mean the 3GB model.

Anyway, for the 10 games tested I will use 1080p and 1440p with the different settings and both cards will run as they go from the factory, with no changes in the clock or fan curves.

So cards can reach 70-80C trying to stay as quiet as possible, the fan speeds are not high my advice is to have your own custom fan curve, which stays below 70 ° C with a little more noise and a slight improvement in the core clock by the GPU Boost.

Apex Legends

Apex Legends was tested in campaign mode. In this test it’s a win for the GTX 1060, which was scoring around 6.3% higher average FPS over the GTX 1650 at 1080p, lowered to 2% lead at 1440p.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

It’s a different story in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, this time GTX 1060 was also coming out ahead of the 1650. In terms of average frame rate, the 1060 was 1.9% or just 1FPS faster at 1080p, and 5.5% ahead at 1440p. I have to say that 1650 was fighting good against 1060, not too much difference.

Battlefield V

Battlefield V was tested using the games built in benchmark tool, and the 1650 was back in the lead here, granted only with a slight 1.7% lead at 1080p, increasing a little to 5.2% at 1440p.

Counter Strike GO

Counter Strike GO was tested in campaign mode, and was another win for the 1060, in terms of average FPS. I saw biggest diference in this game.

Far Cry 5

Far Cry 5 was tested with the games benchmark tool, and the results were very close here, with the 1060 was 16 frame ahead of the 1650 at 1080p and 10 frame ahead at 1440p resolutions.

Far Cry New Dawn

Far Cry New Dawn was tested with all graphical settings at high, and this game really seemed to prefer the GTX 1060. At 1080p the 1060 was almost 18% faster, and this rose to a bigger 21% boost at 1440p.

Fortnite

Fortnite was tested using the replay feature, with the exact same replay file used for all testing. This was another win for the 1060, which was 27% ahead of the 2060 in average FPS, increasing to a 35% lead when we step up the resolution to 1440p.

Metro Exodus

Metro Exodus was tested with the game’s benchmark tool, and unlike the last game, this one seemed to really favour the 1060. At 1080p, there was a large 25% higher average frame rate on the 1060, increasing to an 31% lead at 1440p.

Rainbow Six Siege

Rainbow Six Siege was tested using the built in benchmark. The results were extremely close together in this test, honestly within margin of error territory without an obvious clear winner.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Shadow of the Tomb Raider was tested using the built in benchmark, and the 1060 was ahead again in terms of average FPS, granted the difference was quite small, with just a two to four FPS lead over the 1650.

CONCLUSION

As the 1060 has been out for 3 years now you’re much more likely to find better pricing on the second hand market, at least compared to the 1650 which only just came out in 2019. With a quick search I found some for closer to the $100 mark which is much better in terms of price to performance.

While the 1060 3GB still does alright in 1080p gaming for the most part, as we’ve seen here, buying a 3gb card in 2020 is hard to recommend for longevity reasons. This does make the 4GB and cheaper 1650 look attractive, however it doesn’t perform as well.

GTX 1650 vs 1060

Be it high-end graphics cards for gaming and graphic intensive tasks or entry to medium-level graphics cards for those budget-friendly builds, Nvidia has always been a popular choice. The GTX 1650 is an entry-level graphics card in the GeForce GTX 16 series. While the GTX 1060 is a mid-range graphics card in the GeForce GTX 10 series. In this guide, we will compare GTX 1650 vs 1060. We will look at their specs, performance numbers, and ideal use cases.

Even though these graphics cards are a couple of generations old, they are still popular in budget builds and “used” computers.

Outline

A Brief Note on GTX 1650

Nvidia first launched the GeForce GTX 1650 in April 2019. It is an entry-level GPU based on the Turing microarchitecture and is suitable for gaming in low settings as well as basic video rendering.

Initially, the GTX 1650 (code name TU117-300) came with GDDR5 memory support. But after a year of its original launch, Nvidia updated the memory to GDDR6 in April 2020, while retaining the same graphics core (TU117).

A couple of months later, the GTX 1650 came as two upgraded variants, but this time with two different graphics cores (TU116 and TU106).

Despite the upgrades in the graphics cores, all variants of GeForce GTX 1650 GPU have 896 CUDA Cores. Also, the original GDDR5-based GTX 1650 has a base clock of 1485 MHz and a boost clock of 1665 MHz.

Now, if we compare these numbers with the later models, they all have a base clock of 1410 MHz and a boost clock of 1590 MHz, which is less than the original one. All variants of GTX 1650 GPU came with 4GB of Memory (be it GDDR5 or GDDR6).

A Brief Note on GTX 1060

Let us go back a couple of years. In July 2016, Nvidia launched the GeForce GTX 1060, a mid-range graphics card in the GeForce GTX “10” Series. It was based on the Pascal microarchitecture and manufactured using TSMC’s 16 nm process.

The original GTX 1060 was launched with 6GB or GDDR5 memory with a GP106 graphics core. There is also a 3GB variant with the same graphics core and a 6GB GDDR5X variant with a GP104 graphics core.

All variants of GTX 1060 have a base core clock of 1506 MHz and a boost clock of 1708 MHz. Also, there are 1280 CUDA cores in the GeForce GTX 1060 GPU.

Specifications of GTX 1650 vs 1060

The following table has some important specifications of GTX 1650 as well as GTX 1060.

Comparison of GTX 1650 vs 1060

Let us start the comparison of GTX 1650 vs 1060 with the number of CUDA cores in each GPU. The GTX 1060 has 1280 CUDA cores while the GTX 1650 has only 896.

This difference will definitely impact their performance, be it synthetic benchmarking, gaming, or rendering. For instance, the GTX 1060 averaged 3.85 TFLOPS while the GTX 1650 averaged only 2.98 TFLOPS.

There is also a difference in the amount of video memory (RAM) as well as the variant. For instance, all GTX 1060 graphics cards have 6GB GDDR5 RAM.

But the GTX 1650 has two options, one with GDDR5 and one with GDDR6. Both these RAM variants have only 4GB of memory configuration.

The base clock or GTX 1060 is significantly higher than the GTX 1650. If we compare the clock frequencies, then GTX 1060 has 1506 MHz whereas the GTX 1650 has only 1485 MHz (GDDR5) or 1410 MHz (GDDR6).

Boost clocks are also higher for GTX 1060. It has a 1708 MHz boost clock. But GTX 1650 has 1665 MHz (GDDR5) or 1590 MHz (GDDR6).

Performance of GTX 1650 vs 1060

From the above specs themselves, we can see that the GTX 1060 is a better card than the GTX 1650, despite being 3 years old.

We tested these two GPUs with some popular titles. Here are our observations.

1080p with Ultra settings

Game	Average FPS
Game	GTX 1650	GTX 1060
Shadow of the Tomb Raider	49	60
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey	30	45
Witcher III	42	56

1080p with High settings

Game	Average FPS
Game	GTX 1650	GTX 1060
Shadow of the Tomb Raider	56	72
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey	54	64
Witcher III	55	75

1440p with Medium settings

Game	Average FPS
Game	GTX 1650	GTX 1060
Shadow of the Tomb Raider	36	45
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey	45	56
Forza Horizon 4	48	72

From the above numbers, the GTX 1060 comfortably beats the GTX 1650 in all the games and display settings. We never had any doubts regarding the performance of GTX 1060.

For those who own a GTX 1060 and have the FOMO of the GTX 1650, well, you don’t have to worry. Overall, the GTX 1060 is a better graphics card with slightly higher clock speeds and TDP than the GTX 1650.

Hello everyone, in today’s review we will compare two NVIDIA video cards. The newer GTX 1650 SUPER and the old «popular» solution GTX 1060. Let’s see how much more powerful one of the cards is than the other?

Today the prices of video cards are approximately equal, but it is worth considering that the GTX 1650 SUPER is much newer than the 1060.

Gigabyte models will be taken for comparison. From other manufacturers
dimensions and performance may vary slightly.

We look at the structural features. GTX 1650 SUPER is only 2 long
hmm, not much of a difference. The small size of the video cards, make it possible
for a wider choice of case in the new assembly. Cooling done
a massive radiator with a copper heat pipe that is in direct contact with
video card chip. Although the heat pipe is smaller than the chip itself, it’s not so scary, because
the heatsink itself is also completely adjacent to the card chip, and this, in turn,
allows good heat dissipation.

As for connectors, the GTX 1650 SUPER has all current connectors
1 each. This is both HDMI and DisplayPort and the older DVI-D. The GTX 1060 also has
all the same connectors, but the HDMI version is lower, and there are two DVI-D connectors. This will allow
connect more monitors.

3-phase power is supplied to the video chip, 1-phase power is supplied to the video memory. All of them
through thermal pads in contact with the radiator for cooling.

The radiator is cooled by two fans. Additional power connector

Due to different release years, the specifications of the cards are different. It is also worth remembering
that the new GTX 1650 SUPER is based on a new 12nm process versus 16nm for the GTX
1060. The types of memory used are different, the new card has GDDR6, which
much faster than the previous one. The memory capacity of the GTX 1650 SUPER is 4 GB of this
enough for a comfortable game with good FPS in 1080p resolution. She has a chip
higher core frequency and correspondingly higher memory frequency. All these options
affect performance in games and work applications.

Tests in games

Cards were tested in conjunction with the top processor Intel i7-9900KS, 32 GB
high frequency RAM and high speed storage. CPU
in the test bench in any games will not be loaded more than half and emphasis
performance will be in the video map, so we can track them more accurately
difference.

Apex Legends GTX 1650 SUPER GTX 1060 Difference

1080p 67 74 56 63 14.86%

2k (2560×1440) 44 57 37 47 17.54%

Apex Legends is the first game in the tests, both video cards perform well in
1080p resolution, but it will be comfortable to play in 2k resolution only at 1650
SUPER

Far Cry New Dawn also clearly shows that the new video card
wins in two resolutions. But even at 1060 it will be possible to comfortably go through everything
missions in 2k resolution.

Gears of War 5 GTX 1650 SUPER GTX 1060 Difference

1080p 55 62 45 51 17.74%

2k (2560×1440) 36 45 29 37 17.78%

The legendary Gears of War 5 series works great on the 1650 SUPER, delivering
almost always stable 60 FPS, at 1060 the results are slightly worse and narrower
stable 60 frames can not be seen.

Borderlands 3 GTX 1650 SUPER GTX 1060 Difference

FPS Min. Avg. Min. Avg.

1080p 44 49 36 40 18.37%

2k (2560×1440) 27 34 22 28 17.65%

Dynamic shooter Borderlands recently pleased its fans with the release of
third part. The game turned out to be demanding on the hardware of the players. 1080p maps
show not bad results, which cannot be said about 2k. If in permission
2k on 1650 SUPER you can still play, then let it be rare, but drawdowns up to 20 FPS on
1060 can drive avid gamers crazy.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider GTX 1650 SUPER GTX 1060 Difference

FPS Min. Avg. Min. Avg.

1080p 53 59 42 47 20.34%

2k (2560×1440) 31 38 24 thirty 21.05%

The last game in our tests will be the colorful Shadow of the Tomb
Raider, 1650 SUPER in Full HD resolution almost produces a stable 60 FPS, and
1060 is more than 12 FPS behind on average, which is
essential. In 2k the difference is less and even at 1060 you can play with 30 FPS.

Based on the tests, the advantage of the new chip and the new type of memory is clearly visible
the GTX 1650 SUPER, thanks to these changes, such a significant
advantage. It is also worth remembering that the 1650 card is newer, and, therefore, the company
devotes more time to improving drivers specifically for their new lines.

Video card battle: GeForce GTX 1650 Super VS GeForce GTX 1060 VS GeForce GTX 980 — January 2022

1920×1080, 2560×1080 and 2560×1440.

Let’s see who will emerge victorious from this confrontation.

Test configuration, test tools and methodology

Test results: performance comparison

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

1% low and average FPS it is difficult to call it a success, since the accelerator showed mediocre results even at a resolution of 1920×1080 and after overclocking.

Biomutant

1% low and average FPS

In the Biomutant slasher, the first place was taken by the GeForce GTX 980 GPU. Its lead over the GeForce GTX 1650 Super was 4% -7%. At the same time, the green accelerator after overclocking provided acceptable performance at 1920×1080 and 2560×1080 resolutions.

Cyberpunk 2077

1% low and average FPS

In the science fiction action movie Cyberpunk 2077, the GeForce GTX 1650 Super graphics card has gone far ahead of its predecessors. The performance gap was 19%-23%. At the same time, the game made such high demands on the graphics subsystem that after overclocking, the leader showed an acceptable result only in 1920 × 1080 resolution.

Days Gone

1% low and average FPS

In the Days Gone shooter, the GeForce GTX 1650 Super once again took first place. Depending on the resolution and mode of operation, it was ahead of the opponent by 5% -15%. This project turned out to be not as demanding on video cards as Cyberpunk 2077. As a result, the leader showed good results in resolutions of 1920×1080 and 2560×1080.

F1 2020

1% low and average FPS

In F1 2020, the GeForce GTX 980 graphics accelerator was slightly ahead of its relatives. At the same time, all test participants provided comfortable performance, both in both operating modes and in three resolutions. 1% low and average FPS80. The game turned out to be so demanding on the graphics subsystem that the leaders showed moderate results at 1920×1080 and 2560×1080 resolutions.

Mafia Remastered

1% low and average FPS

In Mafia Remastered, the first position was occupied by the GeForce GTX 980 graphics accelerator.

Watch Dogs Legion

1% low and average FPS

In Watch Dogs Legion, the balance of power was similar to the situation in the previous project. True, this high-tech creation turned out to be so harsh on video cards that it simply “erased into powder” all the test participants.

Geometric average performance of video cards in eight games

1% low and average FPS

According to the diagram of geometric average performance of video cards in eight games, it can be seen that the «old» GeForce GTX 980 after overclocking was in no way inferior to its GeForce GTX 1650 Super.

Now let’s look at the confrontation between video cards in individual games.

The GeForce GTX 1650 Super was faster than the GeForce GTX 980 in Cyberpunk 2077 and Days Gone.
The GeForce GTX 1650 Super graphics card showed relatively equal results with the GeForce GTX 980 accelerator in F1 2020 and Horizon Zero Dawn.
The GeForce GTX 1650 Super was slower than the GeForce GTX 980 in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Biomutant, Mafia Remastered and Watch Dogs Legion.

The GeForce GTX 1650 Super outperformed the GeForce GTX 980 in 2 out of 8 games. In two projects, the accelerators showed approximately equal performance, and in four games the newcomer fell behind the veteran.

All test participants achieved high results in projects such as Days Gone, F1 2020 and Mafia Remastered. In other games, the requirements for the graphics subsystem turned out to be so high that video cards could not provide comfortable performance.

Also worth mentioning are the new technological capabilities built into the GeForce GTX 1650 Super graphics accelerator:

NVIDIA Adaptive Shading — adaptive shading that allows you to increase performance without a visible loss in image quality. At the heart of the new technique is a hardware-accelerated feature of the Turing architecture called Variable Rate Shading or VRS. VRS splits the screen into many tiles of «16 by 16» pixels and allows you to change the number of processed pixels for each tile separately. So, if there is a single-color section of the image in the “tile”, the number of processed pixels can be reduced without a visible loss of quality, due to which higher performance is achieved. The technology has already been used in Wolfenstein II: New Colossus and Wolfenstein: Youngblood.

Mesh Shading is a fully programmable geometry processing pipeline. Task and Mesh shaders allow you to bring the number of polygons and objects in the scene to a new, previously inaccessible level and offload the CPU by transferring the calculations of the level of detail of objects and others to the GPU.

Multi-View Rendering is a more flexible implementation of Simultaneous Multi-Projection technology. Without this technology, objects are displayed several times for each eye in VR mode (projections for each screen/screen area in a VR helmet).
