GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q vs GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q in our tests.

The GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. Despite this, the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 35 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q at 75 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q is faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q.
